on saleRhodia No. 16 A5 Notepad - Ice White, Graph

I found these while looking primarily for a new desk-pad for jotting notes and making to-do lists. Not only are they one of the few options I could find in this size (with grid lines) but the paper is very pleasant to write on. Even though the paper feels relatively thin, when writing with both ballpoint and nicer ink pens, there was either no or minimal ghosting. This allowed me to utilize both side of the page which I was unable to do with my last desk pad. I bought 2 and will be purchasing more when they run out. We'll worth the price.

Rhodia's bright-white paper is my absolute favorite, this notepad is the perfect size, and the ice cover is my favorite color. Thus, this is my favorite notepad. Period. No bleedthrough, takes wet and dry pens equally well. Amazing. I buy these for me, for people I'm pen-abling. Buy this notepad.

I love writing on Rhodia paper. I recently bought some lined paper also but I have been using gridded lines for so long it seems strange at times to write on something different. This is the first stapled binding rather than wire spiral bound. I really like that it lays a bit flatter and that the cover it designed to fold to the back when using.

I have not had much experience with higher quality paper but this is a nice step from the cheap paper stocked in our office. I can get some nice sheen and flex w/o bleeding on the paper.

This is my perfect notepad. It has Grey grid lines instead of the bluish purple found on the original Rhodia notepad. It has gridlines on both sides unlike the one sided Maruman Mnemosyne graph papers. It's also just as smooth but lighter weight than the Maruman Mnemosyne papers. In my opinion, A5 is the perfect size for taking notes, journaling, or writing a letter. This paper is great for use with fountain pens or pencils - very versatile. I could go on and on...
