The paper equalled and exceeded the 70 g/m2 paper in the MR's (as you would expect) the only downside being it was lined in various colours instead of grey. Similarly my first experience with their 90 g/m2 Diplomat notebooks was very good. It doesn't appear to be the same paper as found in their MR notebooks. I ordered a pad of loose-leaf 70g/m2 paper (their loose-leaf is actually a side-glued pad) and it was abysmal in terms of line spreading. That said, I'm not entirely confident in the consistency of their paper quality. Overall it's my favourite fountain pen friendly paper and that includes comparison to Clairefontaine and Rhodia. It's smooth but not too smooth, doesn't spread or feather the line, resists show-through, and I like the subtle grey lines at 7mm pitch. I like their lined 80 page MR-1 notebooks with the 70 g/m2 paper. Don't know how the paper on the spiral bound notebooks match up, but my husband really likes the 5 subject ones (actually, what he REALLY used to like were the ones that Barnes and Noble used to sell which had different types of pages in them - some graph paper, some lined, some having large boxes to do diagrams in.) but Miquelrius USA no longer seems to have those on their website. I also have a bunch of the little flip top notebooks, which they threw in at no extra charge as padding material (I was ordering six of the 300 page journals, the "medium size" ones), and the paper on them is nice as well. But for the price, I think they're a good deal (although I wish I could get blank pages instead of ruled). I have a bunch of the 300 page ones, and the only issue I've had is that sometimes in the last couple the glue holding the signatures in has failed. The paper is pretty FP friendly (although obviously not to the level of Rhodia or Clairefontaine). R & K is a good ink, but on this Miquelrius paper, the quality of ink matters.I really like the Milquelrius leather-look journals. Those who doubt whether Pilot Iroshizuku ink is worth the higher price should look at my results. I wish the paper were just a bit stouter. The paper itself will please fountain pen users who are looking for a less glossy, less white alternative that provides some feedback. I like the flexibility of perforated paper, which can be removed and inserted in a ring-binder. The spiral rings are metal and evenly-spaced. I am left-handed and write fairly quickly the scan will show that this paper is leftie-friendly. Bleedthrough threatens.īecause of the absorbency of the paper, the ink dries quickly. With this ink, showthrough is most pronounced. This ink is on the dryish side nonetheless, on this paper feathering is apparent, at some places it is almost unacceptable. R & K Blau permanent, using a medium nib in a wet pen. Virtually no feathering, a nice tight line, no bleedthrough and little showthrough.ģ. Pilot Iro Kon-peki, using a fine nib in a slightly dry pen. Very little feathering, some showthrough, a bit of bleedthrough.Ģ. Pilot Iro Tsuki-yo, using a medium nib in a slightly dry pen. The paper itself is about as thick as ordinary three-ring notebook paper.ġ. The ruled lines are hairline-thin and subtle and match the color of the subject (slate blue, red-orange, grey-green, lime green, magenta, and turquoise). Pleasant feel of the nib and ink on this paper. The paper is smooth, but not glassy-smooth like Clairefontaine it is white but not bright white. * Paper is perforated and hole-punched (two holes in A5)Ī5 5.8" x 8.3" - $7.95 ($6.95 at Barnes & Noble). * Available in graph and horizontal lined paper * 6 subject notebook, 150 leaves, 25 sheets per subject * Cover color choice of Black, Red and Blue Recently I picked up the Miquelrius 6-subject notebook at B & N for $6.95 (the A5 size).
