New Leaf Paper

October 24, 2011

now pay attention, cos' it's not everything made by this company (New Leaf Paper) that i'm calling FP friendly!!!

so i found this wire bound, 70 pages, 100% recycled notebook at Target and bought 10 of them!!!

i'm only showing the ones that are made from 100% recycled milk and juice carton covers -that's how it reads on the back cover. they have other notebooks by the same maker, but the paper is not suited for FP's.

here's a pic of the cover:

front cover has a somewhat rubber/plastic feel to it. i find that very good cos' i don't think it will wrinkle easily. the back cover is hard card stock. ther are about 4 or 5 differerent designs for the front cover, but i don't feel like taking anymore pix tonight... sorry!!!

the pages feel very smooth. college rule -clean blue lines with a red margin vertical line. micro perforated and three holes to use them on any 8.5x11 3 ring binder. it's very FP friendly. no feathering, and very little, if any, bleed through from a fountain pen. it does bleed with a lettering dip pen that's extremely wet. see for yourselves:

here some samples of the writing:

and here is the back of the page where you'll see bleed thru on the top from the dip pen and only ghosting at the bottom from regular FP writing.

inside there is a front trap/pocket holder that feels like a totally recycled cardboard:

if you happen to have these at your target i recommend u pick up one at least, i'm sure you'll like it.

they are on clearance, so i don't think they will last!!

no affiliation what-so-ever!!!

ciao,
