I am using the Maruman Giuris refills for my loose leaf and also cutting my own 100 gsm white paper and punching them for my loose leaf binder.

 

The Maruman Giuris paper is somewhat beige in colour and is very smooth and my FPs glide over it. It gives good contrast but you might need to watch for a bit of show through on the other side at times. Generally no complaints and I like it other than my personal preference is for much whiter paper.

 

In my comparisons, I have found that the Giuris series is better than the Smooth to Write (more expensive also) IF you are using blank paper. For 5mm grid paper, it is the other way around: the Smooth to Write series seems to be better than the Giuris grid paper.

 

I used to use the ruled paper back when I was a student long ago and they are generally good but I haven't tested them in the last 10 years.

thanks for your opinion. i know that giuris; paper quality is better but it quite difficult to find giuris in Jakarta. and buying online is not an option because the shipping cost. but thank for opinion.
