Rhodia 193469C A5 Notebook,Lined,80 Sheets, Black - A5+ - 210 mm x 160 mm

It is made by the clairfontaine but the paper feels very different than the clairfont paper of same gsm. Irrespective of fontain pen or ink, this one feels better. This one is not sensitive to finer nibs. Finer nibs writes excellent on this. I wish amazon has the centre stappled A5 notebooks. Rings does not stack well. Price is high and I will use only for certain purpose.

Rhodia is internationally known for making really decent paper for fountain pen users. The notebooks have very good ink resistance and ink properties are visible. The paper quality is not as good as the Midori MD, which I use, but that is absolutely fair considering the price difference; Midori is about 3 times as expensive. The paper quality of Rhodia is about the same as that of Leuchtturm and Moleskine.Rhodia gives good expression to ink and pen. Sheen is clearly visible, shading is good too. The paper is smooth. It does absorb oil from the skin; it gets a little finicky at the bottom of the page. I use an artist glove as remedy to that. The paper is white, not ivory, and so it does not distort the ink colour. It is understandable expensive from the regular ball-pointers POV. But it is a very good middle-of-the-road FP notebook, value-for-money and quality in balance. I use this for most of my office work.

Worth the money.Good for fountain pen use. It's a French brand with good paper quality. No bleed through noticed.

as always very good notebook

Still not as good as what was delivered in 2019 & 2020. I like this Rhodia more than the Clairfontaine, which is smoother resulting in skips.
