Black n' RedNotebook, Business Journal, 8-1/4" x 5-7/8", 70 Sheets, Ruled, Optik Paper, Scribzee App, Flexible Poly Cover, Wirebound, Black (C67009)

I'm in love with this notebook brand!! I know it's meant to be used for work, I just use it as a diary, or for notes on books I'm writing. This is suchhh a great notebook please get it!! Little pricy, but worth it for the softness and light weight of it. 100/5 stars

These tablets are all you need for seminars, meetings, etc. Mine are still in mint condition after 10 years.

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.

These are my go to note books. They are a great size and the quality is excellent. The plastic fiber protects my notes while inn my bag and the paper is thick and writing in it is smooth. I like that all my notes books are uniform.

Was my favorite for taking notes due to thickness of paper but they have changed. Still use but keep trying new ones to find better paper thickness.

best option that I have tried when it comes to being fountain pen friendly. The characteristics that we look for are all there. No feathering, no bleed-through, and best of all you can still see the full depth of the ink, such as shading and sheen. Dry time is comparable to a paper such as Rhodia, but still manageable. For a price well below that of premium paper, you can’t go wrong. If you are into fountain pens and don’t want to spend $20 (or more) on a notebook, you should definitely check this brand out. They perform well and are affordable. What more could you ask for? They even look great with their black and red trim (hence the brand name). Black n’ Red notebooks all use the same 90 gsm (24 lb) paper and their website clearly touts that it’s fountain pen friendly. In my experience, this paper is extremely fountain pen friendly and even holds up to doodling with a Sharpie Pen. I expected some sort of bleed through when scribbling shapes with my red pen but the 24lb paper was up to the challenge and the other side was blemish free. Some people don’t like smooth paper and prefer a little feedback. I’ve always been of the opinion that the Black n’ Red was an incredibly smooth paper and while that’s true, it’s not as smooth as Clairefontaine. If you use Rhodia notebooks and feel the paper is a tiny bit too smooth, perhaps Black n’ Red will provide what you want.

Love theseI love the paper it is smooth and heavy weight let's the pen just glide across it while writing

My favorite notebook. Hard cover. Light weight but sturdy. Writes in smoothly. Good for sticking tabs too and keeping my work organized. Love the band to keep it shut. Perfect notebook sized.
