Notebooks From Indigo

[AllisonS]

As I am still waiting for the Lamy to arrive, I found some A4 notebooks at Indigo (Canadian bookseller) that are awesome with the MB (aka the "Bleeder" - I name my cars, and now apparently am naming my pens.) I am currently using. It is incredibly broad (how do you judge the size) and it puts down a lot of ink. There is no bleed-through to the other side of the page at all, and in general terms, these are relatively inexpensive (cheaper than a Moleskine - which soaks through with the Bleeder. If you zoom in - you can see a bit of feathering/bleeding into the fibres). It is a spiral bound 3 subject notebook, and costs $11.95 (I got a few on sale for $9.00 before I even realized that the would work with this pen.)

 

Pages are smooth, thick lined (10/32 inch or 8mm) and 3 hole drilled for North American binders, The have a perforated edge if you want to take pages out. No scraggly edges or bits falling off. Thick cardboard front and back with various designs and sayings.

I wrote my NaNoWriMo novel on one of these. I must have used eight different pens (F,M) and several inks. The journal was great, and I've since bought a few more on sale.

 

I am curious what type of paper this is. If I want to make my own journal, what Canadian sold paper could I buy to give the same performance?

looks like a medium nib, hard to say though, I use mostly fine or extra fine

That's a Broad for sure. Nib sizes are very dependent to Manufacturer. Not all Broads are the same..

 

I love Broad/Wet nibs.. I am partial to BB and OBB...
