I purchase sustainable earth products as often as I can. I admire the fact that Staples has joined the many companies who try to cut down on our carbon footprint. With the amount of products purchased daily and the increasing amount of waste associated with those products it is wonderful to see recycled and or recyclable substitutions available. I do most if not all of the purchasing of office products for our company and I will pay a few cents more for a recycled alternative every day of the week. Keep up the good work in the effort to replenish and save our earth.
I use a Lamy Vista with an EF nib and I try to use environmentally-friendly paper. These sugarcane-based notepads are great because my pen doesn't feather at all like it does on the other recycled paper I have. There is also very little ghosting so the backside can be used if one desires to do so. And unlike some cheaper notepads the pages tear out smoothly. The brown lines are also easier on the eye for long study sessions. These are perfect for class notes homework or as scratch paper--the best part about notepads is that you can take all your notes for the day and then separate them into your own organizational scheme at the end of the day. Sprial notebooks leave the spiral behind as waste and you can't remove pages from composition notebooks. I hope Staples keeps on producing these notepads.
Very good smooth paper. It is suitable even for fountain pens. There is no feathering and no soaking through - you can use both sides. The quality is comperable to very expensive European paper - at a fraction of the cost. I'm very impressed with it and would highly recomend it.
Staples got this batch of pads right. I opened the package and knew I had a winner with the first pen strokes. I like this paper so well that I immediately ordered a second package so I won't run out. This paper is perfect for fountain pens. No bleeding at all. Great stuff. If you use a fountain pen you owe it to yourself to give this a try and it's a bargain to boot.
This paper is wonderful for writing with a fountain pen. The ink does not soak in but dries on the surface. Have used it with fine to broad nibs and with "dry" to very "wet" inks. Wonderful. Too bad it does not seem to be available in any of the Staples stores anymore.
I use these pads everyday for notes in business meetings and to organize activities. The pages are bound together well and the pages rip out easily for filing. I find these pads to be as efficient as higher priced brands. I recommend them for students volunteer workers businesses and home use. The pads fit neatly inside pocket portfolios and binders. They also work well on clipboards. When I intend to save notes they fit well in regular sheet protectors for 3 ring binders. Great valued product!
