Narrow Ruled Loose Leaf For Fountain Pens?

[lefty4]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some white narrow-ruled (6.35mm or smaller) looseleaf paper for my fountain pens, or a spiral ring notebook with perforated sheets. Sheets should be 5x8.5 inches or 8.5x11 inches (or thereabouts). I'm not a big fan of quad-ruled paper, although I'm not opposed to 5mm ruling. Also, I'm not looking to print my own paper - I just want some sheets that are ready to go! Anyone have any ideas? The closest I've found are Staples' Sustainable Earth notepads, but they only carry narrow-rule in canary. I have some Japanese notebooks (Maruman & Kokuyo) and Apica notebooks with 6mm lines, but none of them have perforated sheets.

But, I have no idea of the paper quality and if it is FP friendly.

I would guess the sugarcane paper is.

I like the Staples 8.5" x 11" lined paper. It's college ruled, so slightly wider spaces (7mm?). SKU 849398

 

Edited to Add: I hope the formulation hadn't changed. I'd been buying this since early high school/late junior high a good 10 years ago, stock piled 2 or 3 years ago when they were on sale. At least Staples as a 100% guarantee.

Maruman Smooth-To-Write paper should work for you if you can handle international paper sizes. They have have ruling from 5mm-8mm and the paper is of excellent quality.

edit: not sure why the link doesn't work...if you copy and paste into your address bar it should work.

Maruman and Kokuyo have loose leaf paper that fits your requirements I believe.

thanks for doing the legwork, but i have googled up the wazoo - and even ordered a couple of packs in the past. but, as you say, it's often difficult to tell if something will be fountain pen friendly... and so far all efforts have failed! i was hoping you all could save me from some errant paper-buying
