Has anybody tried either the Clairefontaine or Rhodia 3 hole punch notebooks? I want to get some good loose leaf paper - not the stuff that you can practically see through whatever you are looking at. I have some from last year and it bleeds through like it's nobody's business. Or would I be better off getting a notepad and using a three hole punch?

I use them and like them but they are a bit expensive. However as I recall, I got a bulk order deal from dickblick which worked out to a little over 6 dollars a pad with free shipping.

The paper is pretty thick and the notebooks are quite substantial in weight. I like them though and the notebook pages are perforated so they tear out easily.

Clairefontaine paper is sensational for FP use. If you like the paper and can pay the price they are fantastic. I have used them and love them.

I use the 3-hole punched Rhodia staple pads every day. I have a hole punch and could use that, but the punched pads cost the same as the unpunched ones, so I see no reason to hassle with it. The paper is excellent for pencils and fountain pens. The holes are a little larger than the standard hole-punch will produce, which results in pages that turn with greater ease in binders.

 

In sum: exactly what I need from my paper!

I just wanted to give you an update. I did buy the Rhodia 3 hole punch from Jet Pens. It was much more expensive than Goulet Pens. I guess I know where I'm ordering from next time. I do like it a lot. It makes me never want to use crappy filler paper again.

Hey thats great. But you must have missed my attempt to help you above and this other thread. Next time, my advice would be to wait for dickblick to have a sale, which they do every other week or so, and then buy. Last week for example, I got a batch of #18 rhodia 3 hole punch pads from them for $5.39 a pad with free shipping, a far better deal than what anyone else offers. No affiliation, just a rhodia fan who has shopped around a bit. Cheers.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
