Rhodia16200C - Stapled Notepad N°16 Orange - A5 - Small Squares - 80 Detachable Sheets - 80G Clairefontaine Paper - Soft, Resistant and Waterproof Coated Card Cover - Basics, 148 x 210 mm

Needed a basic no thrills note pad to keep in my back pocket. I’ve tried spiral ringed pads but they get flattened and distorted and I managed to scratch a leather car seat as the end of the spiral ring poked through my jeans. This pad has a single staple fastener and is completely flat so doesn’t get bent out of shaped if it’s in your pocket when sitting. Easy to tear off pages and paper is lined and of good quality. Very good value for money.

From my experience, this Rhodia white paper is extremely smooth, making it great for calligraphy. This paper works great for calligraphy ink which is generally some what thick in viscosity. The paper doesnt absorb the ink, preventing the bleeding of the page.While this works very well for calligraphy ink, it is not the same for fountain pen ink. usually fountain pen ink are water based and so it remains wet on the page. Also from my experiance the colour of the fountain pen ink seems brighter on other paper that absorbs the ink a little more.Overall I believe Rhodia paper is one of the best available for the use of calligraphy or any art that requires heavy ink. The grid lines make it very useful for practicing handwriting and the paper is definitly of high quality.

Although this is pricey for a pad of paper, it is Rhodia and it is so worth it! Like writing on silk!

First time buyer of a Rhodia notebook. Wanted something for practicing hand lettering and this was recommended almost everywhere. The paper is extremely smooth! I haven't started using it but a bit disappointed as the edges get wavy very quicky! At first I thought that is how I received it but then I got a replacement and after keeping it on my shelf it turned wavy within 15 minutes!! It's probably the humidity in the air but disappointed that it does as my other books or papers don't.Edit: I've used it now and the paper is really good. No bleed through even though it's quite thin! Impressed! I also realised the wavy edges seem to go back to normal after few days when kept in a less humid room.

I regularly buy the A5 plain paper pads for my daughter. She sketches incessantly and these pads fit perfectly into a small backpack so she can take one anywhere. The quality of the paper is second to none. She's now looking forward to also using them for note-taking at college. Highly recommend.

Excellent to have by the side of your desk for note taking: suitable for fountain pens and every other writing instrument , the paper is smooth enough that you could rest your arm on the pad and not even know it’s on there, don't let the “80gsm” fool you it’s amazing

I bought these so I could use them to keep running rugby scores during games (normal small notepads aren't long enough and you are having to turn over to the next page and so on; wanted it all on the same page.Had to buy 3 (wouldn't let me buy a single one) but I thought I would have spares.They arrived and I was more than pleasantly surprised. They look and feel very high quality. The cover is tough and protective and I will definitely buy more of them. They are superb. A real surprise for such a low cost.

Love this pad. Top quality paper and a pleasure to use.

These Rhodia grid pads are just the perfect pad to have in your desk drawer! You can sketch out a design using the grid, work on math in a column or simply write out a "to do" list and use the grid as a check-off box. They are good quality paper, no bleed through. They tear off the pad easily and are an ideal size for multiple uses.

This paper has a very smooth finish, perfect for fountain pens and gel pens (and probably any other pen). The ink does not bleed through. Handwriting is easy on paper this smooth. Rhodia is my go-to paper (Clairfontaine, which now owns Rhodia, has similar quality paper).

Excelente!!!

I swear by these notebooks and have different shapes and sizes and paper types for all my notebook needs. Nice, heavy paper. Very easy to write on with no bleed.

O papel da Rhodia é o melhor que eu conheço. Escrevo com caneta-tinteiro, e como o papel é extremamente liso, a tinta escorre bem, sem ultrapassar a camada inicial do papel e sem aqueles "pelinhos" que a tinta deixa em papéis mais porosos.
