Traveler's Notebook Thick Insert Journals


Mike_in_VT

Recommended Posts

Does any manufacturer make a journal insert for the TN that is 2 or 3 times the thickness of the normal ones? I'd like to find one like that to cut down on the number of inserts in my TN. I'm looking for both lined and grid versions

I know that they make a Kraft paper insert, but I don't think that would be fountain pen friendly. Personally, I use 2 of the Tomoe River-like inserts (013). The paper is FANTASTIC for fountain pens, although it does take a moment or two longer to dry. I also use the current weekly insert from TN as well. So, I end up with three inserts, but overall, it is just a little thicker than two inserts. My husband also uses a TN and he only has 2 regular grid inserts in his. We both use the regular size TNs.

Not 100% what you are after but Midori makes a thin paper insert of something like 128 pages vs the regular 64. Paper is thinner but quite good for fountain pens. Seen them sold on Amazon and Gouletpens in past.

Gouletpens also use to sell a brand of notebooks called Bandiapple ? It had very nice paper and certain sizes fit the Midori. It was a small operation and do not know if still exists.

Mike, most staple bound machines would not allow "2-3 times thickness" of the normal TN. To go above the Midori 013 refill of 128 pages, it would have to be either glue bound or sewn bound. Thicker books that are stapled bound also suffer from page shift problem, so not really recommended.

Steve Chang of makes both Passport and Travelers Notebook sized inserts of 64 Pages, but the heavier Tomoe River Paper. High quality, professional work, good pricing, ships quickly and is very accommodating to special needs. Quality of paper, cover, inserts exceeds that of Midori. Shipped in 48 Hours and I had my order in 7 days out of Taiwan. I highly recommend his product. Usual disclaimers apply no affiliation just a very satisfied first time customer. https://www.etsy.com/listing/273203736/tomoe-river-a5-tn-insert-cream-5mm-dot?ref=shop_home_feat_3

Steve: Paper is better than I'd hoped. I can dig out my L foot obliques and Stubs and use very wet ink. No Feathering or show through, no bleeding. This is the best ever I've had the opportunity to work with. The notebook inserts fit perfectly in the Leather cover you made for me. The Template is easy to see through the paper, fits perfectly and is very handy in preventing my up and down hill writing from going wild. I'll be back for more. etsy will let me give a formal review tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your art with me at a very reasonable price.

      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
