Sustainable Earth Notepads
on July 25, 2018
Posted by: M.B.
I use these exclusively for office and personal notes. The notepads are fountain pen friendly and also work well with pencils.

Fountain pen friendly--almost

For people who use fountain pen the paper is Great. Inks still bleedthrough a little bit but won't go to the next page. Inks doesn't feather but lines still become little boarder(compare to rhodia). The paper is smooth but not too smooth. Ink I test: R&K salix(Hero 616) Waterman serenity blue(Lany al-star F) Noodler's heart of darkness(preppy F/Pilot 74 M) hunter green(lamy safari F) Private Reserve american blue(Pilot MR F) Diamine Oxblood(Pilot MR F) and Parker black blue-black.(Jinhao x250). I ran out of Noodler's black I think the ink won't bleedthrough at all.

Love this paper

It's pricy but worth it. This paper has a very nice feel to it it's not crisp nor is it limp it has a very smooth texture where the pen just glides easily across the surface. Also I feel like this paper is more sustainable than tree based paper.

I love this paper!
on September 11, 2016

I have been using this for several years. I tutor high school math so use a lot of these pads. While I initially chose it because of its sustainability factor I've continued with it for several reasons. My pencil glides easily across the surface the writing appears clearly against the background and the pencil marks do not smudge. Also I find the tan lines make the writing much easier to read than a traditional blue line. I absolutely love the look and feel of these pads.

better then cheap pads...

but paper does have problems tearing off as noted by other reviewers. However it is a BETTER paper overall then the really cheap pads. Takes liquid ink better. But perfect pads for fountain pens are 20 lb paper

No different than most other writing paper
on April 4, 2016

i bought this based on the many consumer reviews that aver that this bagasse paper is superior for fountain pens; this has not been my experience: testing with three vintage fp's and one contemporary fp permuted with different inks showed that scratchy/smooth performances were statistically the same with bagasse as with other papers.

Sustainable Earth for your Fountain Pen

As others have noted the paper is a little thin compared to that on other standard notepads but it is fountain pen friendly and reasonably priced. It is my everyday use paper.
