I Need Good Enough)Paper For My 5.5" X 8.5" 3 Ring Notebook.

[pgmrdan]

I have my own organizer system setup that I've been using for decades. It requires 5.5" x 8.5" lined notebook paper for a 3 ring binder.

 

I've switched to using a fountain pen for this organizer and I'm in need of some fountain pen friendly paper. I'd prefer it be something I can acquire locally but I don't have a big problem resorting to internet suppliers.

 

What paper meets these requirements?

The 5.5" x 8.5" paper I got at Staples was unusable with fountain pens. I have had better luck getting good 8.5" x 11" paper, like Staples 28 pound laser paper and cutting it in half.

I agree. Staples' HP 24lbs. Laserjet paper works fine. Comes in 8.5''x11'' so cutting it in half, would definitely work.

I would get HP Laserjet paper from Office Depot or Staples and have them cut it and drill it for a couple of dollars.

I've also used 24lb Hammermill multipurpose paper successfully.

Thanks everyone!

I had the same problem, so I took a Clairefontaine clothbound notebook that's pretty close to the right size and laid a piece of paper on it, marked the three holes, and drilled them on my drill press. Then I cut off the spine on the bandsaw.
