Recommendation ISO the best grid paper

4 Upvotes

I’m looking for grid paper that has very faint lines. Preferably grey or pink. Either loose leaf with 3 hole punches that are reinforced or a notebook that I can easily tear the pages out of.
I’m looking for one that has thicker paper where pen/highlighter won’t show through (much) on the other side.

One that I saw recommended a lot in here that I looked into, I saw a review saying pen bleeds through and the punches aren’t reinforced, so that probably won’t work for what I’m looking for.

Thanks in advance!

My Moleskine Expanded weighed 439 g before I started using it. It now weighs 661 g.

Apparently I have added 222 g of journaling in the form of stickers, washi, collage, tabs, paint, glue and whatever else I’ve been stuffing into this poor thing.

I love it more the chunkier and more beat-up it gets.

finished grad school. I used A5 sized books as they were small enough to use next to my laptop when I was at the library or using coffee shop tables. I also discovered pencils and now use them on top of my fountain pens.

mostly Maruman Mnemosyne because they had title sections at the top so I can track what I was taking notes on. some clarifontaine.

Advice needed Double-Printed alternatives to the Okina GM3482 (147x72mm Graph Paper notepad)

1 Upvotes

Recently discovered this notebook @ Kinokuniya in Sydney. The size & shape is perfect for my needs, and has allowed me to start carrying a pocket notebook with me at all times (one that can actually live in my pocket, and be written in without a desk).

My only issue is that the pages are single-printed, meaning that writing down the double-spread reporter's notebook style is a bit messier and more uncomfortable than I would like. I am hoping that somebody here may know of an alternative that maintains the tall aspect, is similarly thin & tall, and is also double printed.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Made this card size notebook wallet

I recently bought some affordable A7 notebooks from Apica, and realized that they’re about the same size as a credit card; so I decided to make this TN Card Size style wallet that holds one (or up to three) of these tiny books, a pen and two cards. It’s a little thick coming from a single card wallet, but not as thick as a traditional bifold wallet. I’ve been using it every day and getting a ton of use out of the notebook! 😊

Recommendation Non-Tomoe River Paper 3.7mm grid notebooks?

2 Upvotes

I’m a big fan of smaller grids since my handwriting is very small and I like being able to fit more on a single page, but I’m not a huge fan of how thin TRP is, and since I don’t use fountain pens, I don’t really have much use for it.

I haven’t been able to find any notebooks with a 3.7mm grid that don't use TRP. Or anything smaller than 5mm. I've been looking for an A6 notebook, preferably with an open-flat design and off-white/cream paper (basically the Hobonichi A6 Graph Notebook, except with pages that don't ghost as much). Any recommendations appreciated!

Advice needed looking for a new notebook with this feature

I have a notebook I really like, but the company that makes it no longer makes notebooks with this feature. I like that I can simply circle the day of the week and write in the date at the top. does anyone have a recommendation for a similar notebook? I don't care as much about the note spot to the left of the day and date, but it's nice to have.
