Muji Notebooks

Recommended Posts

I wanted to buy some muji notebooks, hearing that the notebooks are FP friendly. The problem is that there are two types of notebooks. The recycled and plantation notebooks. Which ones are better?

 

Plantation Paper:

Recycled:

Thanks!

I have had very good success with the recycled notebooks.

I almost always use a Stub/Italic Broad Nib and have no

bleed-thru issues. They have also faired well with wet flowing

nibs.

The recycled ones I have used are the Passport size and the Pocketbook size. There are/were 2 versions of the pocketbook. More pages or less but same as best I could tell.

 

Root around you might find others that could be useful. Doesn't seem like everything shows up on search pages.

So, because of your post post I decided to try these out. I'm completely loving them.

I bought mine here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JHHMYVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

As the review indicate, the cover is rather flimsy, but I love it. Take that into account (if you care).

 

The paper is great, and rather cheap compared to some others.

I have several of the double ring recycled notebooks from Muji in use and haven't experienced a single problem or bleed-through. I love their sketchbooks!

Have used these for a while and I like them because they take the ink well and because they are thin and I use them (sometime several of them) for project note, comments etc.

A grey day is really a silver one that needs Your polish!

I got these from Amazon and glued prettier paper onto the cover.

Then the cover buckled.

They're very flimsy and should be used on a desk or another hard surface.

I have enough bleed-through that I can't write on both sides of the paper.

Not sure I'd get more.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
