Thanks, @yazeh!  I have Rhodia paper/pads, and it's merely adequate.  Wow, that's flashy.

It is, isn't it? It changes the way most inks behave. I am not sure if I would use the paper for writing, myself, as I can get distracted. ;)

Besides reviewing, I mostly draw with fountain pens :)

I've found paper-cover notebooks on Amazon and JetPens (same design, check both for pricing - it varies on Amazon).  I haven't seen any other notebook than what these offer.

You can check Jetpens and The paper mind, where I've found some previously.

 

Thank you both!

Does anyone sell a notebook with this paper?  

Why not just get the paper and make your own notebooks to suit your needs/tastes? 

It is not difficult and YouTube has plenty of "How to.." stuff on it.

Now that's an idea, thanks, @Stompie!  Not that I need another project in my queue, mind you.  But otoh, I have no pressing need for a new notebook, either. :D  I shall have to ponder this one and do some research....

This paper is really fun to play around with! Also, even if it renders some colors differently, I really like that. Many papers interpret inks in new ways, which makes swatching or the inks in your collection feel brand new. 

 

It renews your inks in that way. 

 

Big, big fan!

:lticaptd:You're most welcome! ;)   It's incredible how the colors pop, no?  It's paper that turns your ink into eye-candy.  Enjoy!

I also like the stiffness and feel of the paper: more like stationery

:) If you've never tried L!fe Writing Paper Bank Paper, you should - it has a similar stiffness and texture.  But it doesn't make colors pop.  Since L!fe have a lot of papers, here are links to the one I mean (and the only L!fe paper I've tried so far): Amazon and JetPens.

My preferred notebook format is a thin 30 or 40 page A5 spiral or twin ring notebook, but the paper I was interested in didn't come in that format so I bought a Binding Machine and I make my own notebooks. It turned out to be another fun part of the hobby. 😀👍

Is the paper letter/A4 format?

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
