I am looking for a thing to journal some of my ink into with my midori passport sized. Any options for a good notebook for this?

I've been looking for the same thing.

 

So far, I've found two sources:

 

1. Steve Curnow's small enterprise, Curnow Bookbinding and Leather. He has a Facebook page for his shop. It's highly personal service and very quick. https://www.facebook.com/CurnowBookNLeather/

 

I usually email him directly (see Facebook page for details) and ask for what I want. I know he currently has a MTN passport size ink journal in stock.

 

2. Another online shop is called Ink Journal. http://www.inkjournal.com

I just placed my first order with them for a MTN regular size ink journal. I'm interested to find out how it works for me. I know that the paper has been changed for this journal (I've seen reviews and discussions here on FPN).

 

Perhaps one of these will work for you too?

 

Best,

An update. I ordered an ink journal for my regular sized Midori Traveler's Notebook from the Ink Journal shop. Thus far, I like it a lot.

 

The pages are blank, but there is a nice paper guide to place underneath it. The guide is laid out as an ink journal so that each of the pages of the ink journal could have the same format. In addition, this format makes it easy to customize the format to suit.

 

I like the paper quality a lot; it takes fountain pen ink very nicely and while there may be a little show through, there is no bleed through or feathering.

 

The notebook is stitched instead of stapled which I also like a lot.

 

Best,

Just to have a better understanding, why a normal Midori refill does not work well for an ink journal?

I think it would, Alfredo. I just wanted to have a standard format, as I've seen in other specialized ink journals, so that I include the same information in each review. The guide they provided gave me just that, and still there are blank pages.

 

So, if you like Midori paper and want to make your own guide, or freeform it each time, then that would indeed work.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
