Love the Concept - Not the Cost
on November 13, 2014

The Sustainable Earth brand is a great idea. I love having the option of purchasing a product that is better for the environment. Its good to be able to see it labelled as Sustainable Earth I feel comfortable knowing that it is a better choice without feeling I have to research into it. The pads themselves are a nice clean bright. No brown filaments or imperfections it looks just like regular paper. The lines are a light brown/tan color which I prefer over the more standard blue and red. When writing the color of the pencil or pen is no longer competing to stand out against the lines in the pad. I did receive a sample pack with Sustainable Earth products - it had a few items and introduced me to the brand. I'd love to see more products in the future! I'd especially love to see more affordable copy paper in the Sustainable Earth brand.

Nice alternative to high priced French

imported paper like Clairefontaine or Rodia. While a lighter weight the coating or sizing permits the use of fountain pens without excessive bleed through.

Excellent for Use with Fountain Pens
on August 28, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I'm an admitted fountain pen and bottled ink junkie. I bought these notepads on the recommendations of other fountain pen users as being inexpensive but high quality paper. I haven't been disappointed. I've used Pelikan 4001 Edelstein J. Herbin Diamine and Iroshizuku inks with extra fine fine medium and broad nibs and have not had any feathering or bleeding despite how thin it is. In most cases I could have written on both sides of the paper. Yes the sheet perforations could be better but if you tear off the sheets carefully they separate well. The rule lines are very light and unobstrusive.

A must have!

We keep these notepads on hand and wouldn't be without them. Because they are perforated you can take notes then tear the sheets off at the perforated line and place them in your folder with other pertinent information. Always have a few on hand!

Perforation for tear-out needs improving
on June 9, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I'm a little surprised at some of the comments especially the one review that negatively reviewed the pad as having pages that tear out too *easily*. I have had the *opposite* experience. While in most other aspects the paper is passable I do not find that it tears out well at all! I bought this 12-pack and have used well over half of them and have been consistently frustrated with pages tearing out OK part-way across and then hitting a spot where the perforation is either missing or not complete such that the tear goes off-line leaving me with pages with missing corners the vast majority of the time. While I see this perforation failure with most pads especially the cheaper varieties this pad has stood out in my experience for having more of this problem. The paper is also thin. I could not write on the back if I wrote with pen on the front side. Maybe if I wrote lightly with pencil...
