Any Suggestion For A5/b5 Dot Grid Paper Notebook?


iwiber

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, trying to find one online but I don't recognize most of the brands, so I'd like to know if you guys have some good experience with one?

 

I'm looking ideally for a B5 size but A5 would do it, with ideally a spiral.

 

Thanks in advance

I like A5 Ecoquas, too. We carry them at the art supply shop where I work.

 

The dot grids are all gummed, though. Or as far as I've seen Fabriano doesn't make a spiral bound dot grid option.

I like the Northbooks B5 notebook. I got a set of three of them for a nice price a few months ago.

They sell them on Amazon and sometimes send coupon codes to their email list.

I’m a personal fan of the Luechtturm1917 A5 dot grid notebooks. Some have said they get some bleed over with heavier nibs, but I’m about 80% through mine with little to no bleedthrough — including a few uses of a 1.1 stub.

 

The reason I prefer them to Rhoda is the paper is a tad less “glossy” so the ink dries faster, the dot pattern is more subdued, and I’m a big fan of the stickers they provide for labeling the front and spine.

 

Rhoda is definitely the premium paper choice though — best of luck choosing!

      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
