Rhodia 90 Gsm


MG66

Recommended Posts

I love the paper in my Rhodia Webnotebook, and I have a Rhodia pad with what seems to be the same paper -- the BlocR by Rhodia. It's 90 gsm paper in ivory.

 

Is it just me, or does Rhodia not make this in a white pad? I use the A5 pads for some of my correspondence, and like the white background to show off some inks vs. the ivory. But I can only find 80gsm paper in white by Rhodia, and while still very good, is not the same.

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

 

thanks,

 

Carl

So apparently no one has ever seen this?

As far as I'm aware, your choices are 80gsm in white or 90gsm in ivory. I think they do have a yellow legal pad, but that's not what you're looking for.

In with you on white paper. I definitely prefer it to show ink colors better. I currently am using a few different rhodia products and there are noticeable differences. The 90g paper in the meeting book is my favorite. Super smooth finish. The A4 tablet is 80g and is nice but does not have the same smooth finish as the paper in the meeting book. My other grief with the a4 is that the page perforations do not perform well and rarely if ever does a page separate cleanly.

Both Rhodia and Clairefontaine are available in Standard & Brilliant white in loose leaf A4

Have seen upto 110 grams in addition to inkjet papers.

Carrefour brand is I suspect from the same paper manufacturer which offers white paper in ring bound pads.

 

The latest Rhodia webbie has less tint than previous version and a longer page marking ribbon. It is still cream rather than white.

I have a Clairefontaine A5 notebook that has white 90g paper. It is lined, though, so may not meet your requirement for correspondence use.

 

Cheers,

David.

Thanks all for the comments. Yes, I have seen the loose leaf paper recently, which I am interested in (though my favorite suppliers are out of it at this moment). While most of my letters are on A5, I am starting to get a little more long-winded (long-penned?) and using A4 a bit.

      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
