New with fountain pens. like how smooth it feels

This paper works very well with a fountain pen. Cheaper, lighter paper tends to feather and bleed; this paper does neither and helps the nib write very smoothly.

This is my favorite notebook ever. I find it much easier to take notes and be able to flip the page over the top rather than right-to-left. The firm cardboard backing makes a steady surface if you're trying to write in your lap, too! And the paper: SO smooth. Just fantastic quality. I love how your store has so many styles to choose from - color of cover, size, and style of printing on the paper. I'll never go back.

I find this to be awesome binder paper for use with fountain pens! You do sometimes need a razor knife sometimes to cleanly remove sheets from the pad because as you get lower down in the pad the perforations do not want to release cleanly.Great paper none the less!

This paper is honestly the best quality paper I have ever used. It makes all my pens and even my pencil write smoother and everything just flows.

This notebook is perfect for me. As a college student I tend to write a lot of note. I strongly believe this is the best notebook paper you can practically use while on a bit of a budget.

Rhodia's products are time honored. I enjoy using their writing pads in my work.

Wonderful, much needed quality paper.

I'm used to using office or school supply store bought paper for journaling and song writing. Rhodia is such a vast improvement. I have been using stub nib pens for some time now. And they put down a lot of ink. With the Rhodia paper there's no bleed through, no ghosting, and no feathering. Thank you Rhodia and Goulet Pen Co. for this great paper.

A paper this fine really enhances my experience writing with a fountain pen. Ink flows smoothly and dries quickly. My favorite notebook. I have ordered many items from Goulet Pen Co. and always impressed with quality and service.

I purchased a Rodia no.18 size notepad a few weeks ago, and I am quite pleased with its performance. This was my first investment into the world of fountain pens and I got to say, I'm getting addicted. Writing on the paper itself is a dream, for it feels wonderful, but it's not what you would expect. I would recommend this specific notepad because a single sheet will look neat and clean look when torn away from the pad, and a person feels enlightened when writing long papers.

Smooth surface & no bleed.

Great paper writes very smooth

Rhodia is the best paper, and accommodates even my medium fountain pens that write wet, and with no strike through on the other side. Excellent quality. Love this and the dot pad.

The paper weight and quality is wonderful- it feels lovely to write on, and ink never bleeds through. *But*.... I feel like it isn't very absorbent. Another reviewer wrote that it takes about 20 seconds for ink to dry on it, but I have found with my Private Reserve Fast Drying ink that it can take minutes to be fully absorbed. Which, for me, is a problem, in particular because I often color things in after outlining in blue or black ink. My only solution so far has been to sacrifice one page and use it as a blotter for the others! I want to say this paper is perfect... but I can't quite manage it.

Very good quality paper, never knew paper quality made such a difference. Will be ordering more soon.

I love rhodia pads, but I wish they had more hole punched options. This one is perfect for all the binders I have to fill with notes. The pad is a joy to write on, the perforation is superb, and the three holes are great. All in all a great product shipped from the ever delightful Goulets.

Perfect notebook for school notes. Paper is excellent quality, I have no problems with bleed through or feathering. Depending on your ink you can get some really nice shading.

Using these notebooks for note taking is flawless. Paper is smooth and my pen glides on it. Shipping was fast and awesome!

Right now I have nine empty No. 18 pads on my desk. Basically, I use a lot of these. These pads great for school, since you can easily tear out and stick them in a binder. I use them for story writing as well, since they are so easy to store. The paper quality is great, of course. Expect nothing less from Rhodia. I always keep one or two extra pads on hand because of how quickly I go through them. These pads are a great solution for someone who wants loose leaf paper, but writes with fountain pens. Just tear out the pages as you go and stick them where you want them.

Great for d(n)oodling! Also good for letter writing.

Love it! Good paper absorbs ink without feathering.

I'm so glad I heeded people's advice to try this paper. It's smooth, doesn't bleed or feather and fountain pen ink dries relatively quickly on it. I understand some of the concerns about ink drying times on this paper as it takes about 20 seconds for my Sailor Nano to dry to the point that it does not smear, but this is not an issue for me. I use this paper to write, and I'm right handed, so by the time anything contacts the ink, its dry. All other papers I have used with faster drying times feather and/or bleed to some extent. I have only found one paper that is smoother to write on with a fountain pen, but the ink never dries on it. Rhodia, for me, is the perfect balance.For reference, my daily pen is a Pelikan M205 with a Binderized .3mm cursive italic with Sailor Nano Blue-Black ink. The nib is a little toothy on cheap paper, but not on this.

Ordered these for my roommate - she's a writer and keeps several pads going all the time. The dots are great - not free to wander like blank, not overly constrained like grid.

Good for the everyday use. Great for taking quick notes in class.

Very high quality paper, consistent across the whole Rhodia line. Loss of one star comes from its cost effectiveness. For someone who goes thorough paper like theirs no tomorrow, its not very practical.

I was looking for a pad for my Saddleback folio. After reading some reviews I decided on the Rhodia. It's very nice paper with a ball point. It writes fast and clean. No hang ups or scratchy feeling like you get with a ball point on regular copy paper. It was essential for me to have a stapled pad so it wouldn't come apart. This pad is built to last. I'm pretty sure Rhodia is the only pad i'll be using.

I too have taken my time in this review. I have now spent some time breaking in my Rhodia N18's and can't say enough about them. As a banker it is nice to have a note pad that can add a touch of class while inspiring me to be more dutiful in making notations. When it is a pleasure for a person to write it makes the ink flow that much easier. Thanks to Brian and the very personal service, shipping and enclosed note. Goulet is now my go-to for writing.

With Rhodia's perforated tablets the A4 etc. is the Notebooks overall size. about a cm is used for the portion that stays in the notebook. So the actual size for the Americans that might want to use this as an 8.5x11 substitute, it is 8.25x11.3 after it has been torn out, which is probably close enough to match our American standards.
