DESIGNPHIL 15294006 Midori Notebook, MD Notebook, A5, Horizontal Ruled A

Paper is smooth. No feathering. Drying time is slow with an M Nib as with all good FP friendly papers. Ghosting is severe as the paper grammage is too low. Ok if you only write on one side of the paper but these books are expensive and you would want to use both sides. Only suitable for F nibs, pens that are low flow (definitely not Pelikan as these put down a lot of ink) and if one uses iron gall or pigmented light coloured inks. It is fountain pen friendly but not practical for the price.

Super Qualität und schönes Papier.

Awesome

I’m really shocked by how great the paper is even tho the notebook was fairly cheap! No smearing with liquid ink pens and yet still very smooth. The design opens flat and it’s actually just an all around perfect notebook! I wish they had a B5 size.

Saw a link for this to another stationary website and was thrilled to be able to pick it up here from Amazon. I have a couple of these now and the quality and design are sublime. I would recommend either of the covers as well to keep the sturdy paper cover from getting too dinged up or dirty. The quality of the paper is outstanding. I have used a wide variety of pens and inks on the paper - Monte Blanc, Zebra G750 with LK refill, and my Rotring 600 with Schmidt EF9000 in both medium and fine points and the paper is smooth and easy to write on, zero bleed, and the rules version is broken out into sections that you can use for whatever note taking you might have. Simple but elegant. Quality and value. These are things that matter and as I looked for something to capture my daily journaling thoughts, this was the choice that made sense. The A5 is the perfect size and I'll keep buying these as long as they keep making them.
