Black n' Red Twin Spiral Poly Cover Notebook, Large (11 x 8-1/2 inches), Black, 70 Ruled Sheets, Pack of 1 (K66652), White

This is a Very Well Built and durable notebook, can take it to the office and keeps going for any causal work.

Como dije en el título es un papel demasiado suave, siento que ligeramente encerado o plastificado pero es tan fino que no existe brillos (se mantiene mate) y deja un buen secado y absorción.Además de que no se traspasa las tintas, compre esté cuaderno para mis plumas fuentes y son con ese tipo de tintas donde he probado el cuaderno.Las tintas que tienden a sacar "sheen" lo harán de manera fácil siempre y que la pluma sea "jugosa"(no sé como explicarlo). Tiempo de secado obviamente es un poco más grande pero no tanto, no tanto feathering por lo mismo.Lo recomiendo mucho :) personalmente me gustoEn neutral: para los que les gusten las hojas perforadas, éstos están así, aunque el vínculo de la perforación no se siente frágil como en otros cuadernos.No los he probado con marcadores de alcohol ni bolis normales, pero si aguantan la cantidad de tinta que les meti me he de suponer que aguantarán de buena manera los marcadores de alcohol, más creo que hay mejores opciones cuanto a dibujo se requiera (las rayas no ayudan mucho).Contras:Una pequeña contra que he sentido hasta ahorita es que el listón presiona de manera tan segura que aveces es capaz de "doblar" el cuaderno. No es mucho, ni afecta a las hojas. Pero está ahí por si alguien se pregunta. Supongo que funciona también a favor para los que no quieran que se mueva absolutamente nada.Otro "contra" sería el grosor de la tapa. Es un plástico resistente, no se siente quebradizo. Pero no es lo suficientemente ancho o duro para mi gusto, el grosor del cuaderno más sus tapas dobladas te sirven de apoyo si escribes con el cuaderno doblado, pero no realmente si lo piensas usar abierto.

I've been hunting for either a A4 or Letter (or equivalent) sized ruled notebook mainly for fountain pen use. I've been using Five Star 1 subject notebooks for a while, but their quality has been slowly going downhill. Every other page, the toothing is in the opposite direction, or the fibers are different. Very annoying. One sheet could be good, and the next 3 might be horrible.In any event, I prefer Rhodia, the paper is nice, but the notebook construction is less than desirable. Also, there is no margins in the Rhodia. I also tried the Clairefontaine Classic, but it's construction wasn't too much better. The paper was OK, but not like the Rhodia. I also tried a Maruman Mnemosyne N199 A4, and for it's price it wasn't worth it. I didn't like how the top of the pages were setup, nor was the construction much better.This Black n' Red notebook is in a different league. The paper feels just like the Rhodia (maybe between the Rhodia and the Clairefontaine Classic, but more towards the Rhodia), but it's got the ruling and the lines setup just right. Similar to the Five Star notebooks. It also absorbs the ink without feathering, and it makes even my wettest ink dry rapidly.The price is great! Cheaper than the others I tried (with the exception of the Five Star).As for what I usually use to write in the notebooks: TWSBI ECO, Parker Jotter, VAC700R, Lamy Al-Star, occasionally my Jinhao X750 with a custom Goulet gold nib. They are all medium nibs, and all using Noodler's EEL Black.Right now I'm finishing up my last few pages in my Five Star, and I'll report back if I notice anything weird or different that messing around on the first page as a test page. But for now, the notebook is the best I've used.

I cannot go back to regular notebooks as I am purely a pen user. I didn't know a notebook with thicker paper would help with bleeding and neatness. I am by no means an enthusiast in writing, penmanship, or calligraphy but this does the job for everyday notes. The quality for the price makes this a 5-star value.Highly recommend this to any students -- the tear away pages make it easy to create study guides!

I was introduced to these several years and several jobs ago and I introduce them to the people at my new jobs and they love them!The texture of the paper invites you to write more and you can easily progress through your notes and pages, flipping back to reference older pages as needed.
