RHODIA 182009C - Stapled Notepad N°18 Black - A4 - Small Squares - 80 Detachable Sheets - 80G Clairefontaine Paper - Soft, Resistant and Waterproof Coated Card Cover - Basics

Needed a basic no thrills note pad to keep in my back pocket. I’ve tried spiral ringed pads but they get flattened and distorted and I managed to scratch a leather car seat as the end of the spiral ring poked through my jeans. This pad has a single staple fastener and is completely flat so doesn’t get bent out of shaped if it’s in your pocket when sitting. Easy to tear off pages and paper is lined and of good quality. Very good value for money.

So useful. Great quality. Buy all the time.

Best Notebooks - paper quality is great and love how thoughtful they are with the cover.

Great little notebook for the price, wanted something fountain pen friendly and this does the job

First time buyer of a Rhodia notebook. Wanted something for practicing hand lettering and this was recommended almost everywhere. The paper is extremely smooth! I haven't started using it but a bit disappointed as the edges get wavy very quicky! At first I thought that is how I received it but then I got a replacement and after keeping it on my shelf it turned wavy within 15 minutes!! It's probably the humidity in the air but disappointed that it does as my other books or papers don't.Edit: I've used it now and the paper is really good. No bleed through even though it's quite thin! Impressed! I also realised the wavy edges seem to go back to normal after few days when kept in a less humid room.

Just right for shopping lists and general notes to self

From my experience, this Rhodia white paper is extremely smooth, making it great for calligraphy. This paper works great for calligraphy ink which is generally some what thick in viscosity. The paper doesnt absorb the ink, preventing the bleeding of the page.While this works very well for calligraphy ink, it is not the same for fountain pen ink. usually fountain pen ink are water based and so it remains wet on the page. Also from my experiance the colour of the fountain pen ink seems brighter on other paper that absorbs the ink a little more.Overall I believe Rhodia paper is one of the best available for the use of calligraphy or any art that requires heavy ink. The grid lines make it very useful for practicing handwriting and the paper is definitly of high quality.

I regularly buy the A5 plain paper pads for my daughter. She sketches incessantly and these pads fit perfectly into a small backpack so she can take one anywhere. The quality of the paper is second to none. She's now looking forward to also using them for note-taking at college. Highly recommend.
