Clairefontaine And Rhodia 3 Hole Punch Notebooks


lourdesgirl101

Recommended Posts

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.

      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
