Midori MD A5 Grid pad


Mark from Yorkshire

Recommended Posts

Having got hold of my first pad my Midori and there MD range I can rate it 10/10, The nibs used where a mix from all of my collection Fine right through to broad and they wrote on the paper splendidly, with no feathering, absorption, bleed, bleed-through or show through. Even my rather wet using supposedly medium nib Cross Beverly running Diamine Onyx black which is in my humble opinion behaved itself and wrote perfectly. 

 

I would Hartley Recommend this paper 

Mark from the Latin Marcus follower of mars, the god of war.

I support this opinion.   For years I have used the 64-page A5 Tomoe River journal but it has become increasingly difficult to get a hold of.   I have a wonderful leather cover for the journal, nice and patinaed.  I have now switched to the 88-page Midori paper.  To make it fit in my leather cover I have to chop off ~ 1" from either end of the Midori cover to fit it in the slots of my leather cover to close the cover all the way.  The result is the leather cover just barely covers all the paper from this thicker notebook... but not really noticeable.   Midori is a smoother writing experience than the Tomoe River.  The Sailor ink I use does not bleed through.  I like the ribbon to identify where in the journal my writing has progressed.  All-in-all, for me, a better value than Tomoe River.

i am using the midori md paper right now - the pages feel more robust than the tomoe river and so far it has been good with all my pens from an ef platinum all the way to a broad omas.  thumbs up.

      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
