Note Cards

[rocky99]

I'm looking for better note cards. I carry a Shirt Pocket Briefcase from Levenger. It fits in my suit pocket and I can get a substantial amount of info onto each card. I currently have it filled with Levenger note cards with little green crosses instead of lines, similar to dot ruled paper. Disappointingly, especially as Levenger bills itself as writer friendly and sells fountain pens and ink, the paper bleeds. Not significantly, but enough feathering that I'm annoyed. I use Noodler's Ottoman Azure, and it doesn't seem to be a terribly feathery ink. Anyone know if a dot or grid ruled note card that is feathering resistant?

If the size you want is 3 x 5, these are worth a try

I use the Nock Co cards daily and haven't had any feathering issues.

+1 for nock. They were made with FPs in mind.

I too love the Nock cards, great for fountain pens but also fast drying, unlike Rhodia and Clairefontaine paper.

Nock cards are worth a try.

 

This is a writing sample on amber dotdash Nock card (made for a review of the pen, not the card). First time I'd used Nock stationery. You might be able to make out a little feathering - on the L and E of 'CHARLIE', for example - but not much.

 

I have the dusty blue Nock cards as well. Haven't tried them yet.

I'm not much help here. I can't remember where I got these, No manufacture marking on cards. I'm hopeful someone will read this and pin a name on them. Cube of 2.0 mm size. Red Band at top running Horizontal width of the card, 7.0 mm tall. Light grey similar band at bottom of card, 12 mm tall. Back side top 50% Red Horizontal band and 50% grey 12 mm tall. Bottom of card a full Grey 12.0 mm tall band horizontally., also 12.0 mm tall. They work with any ink I 've tried, no feathering, no bleeding. Not tried BSB, but regularly use Noodlers HOD and widow Maker, with no issues. Can anybody help me out here and put a name on this card?

Maybe some pics? I'm intrigued.

I use Daiso 3x5 notecards. They have blank, vertical ruled, and grid. The white ones are 100 to a pack and the colored ones are 80 to a pack, each for $1.50 and tax.

 

Great stuff.

 

If you'd like, I would be more than happy to send you a few sample sheets. I'm not sure how easy they are to find where you are, but we can always work something out if you end up wanting packs.

rocky99: Shoot me an Email B/C with a mailing address and I'll send you 8-10 of them

That way you can check them out in person. Jim jimhughes on FPN.

I buy the Daiso too in grid. They are fantastic value. The colour ones vary a little in terms of FP worthiness but the grid on white made in Indonesia are fantastic.

Do you get them at a local retailer? Online?

I get them at Daiso - it's like a Japanese 100 yen shop. I think you can get them online, but only by the case.

Another Nock fan.

Got the cards last night! Thanks Jim! I'll try to post some pics to see if anyone can identify the ones with red and gray at the edges.

I'm not much of a Photographer. Lets hope someone can come up with a source for them. Wish I could remember where I got them. Unfortunately my home office has piles of notebooks, paper and stationary.

I'm accused by SWMBO that I have 10 lifetimes supply of paper. But I can't tell you my source. If something looks good or has a good rep I stock up. Let us know how the Nock and Mystery cards work for you.
