Rhodia118748C - Saphir Rigid Notebook - A5 - Lined - 192 pages - Ivory Clairefontaine Paper 90 g/m - Bookmark, Elastic Closure - Faux Leather Cover - Rhodiarama Collection

My renewed interest in fountain pens is still quite recent so I am not exactly the most experienced to comment on this... However the Clairefontaine paper (as used by Rhodia in this journal) is sublime and has a luxury, silky sheen to it.To be honest I find it too smooth with my fountain pen as my custom ground nib was already silky smooth... Combine the two and I found the experience far too slippery.I would expect it to be acceptable with many other FP nibs, but it is equally wonderful to use with standard BP (I am currently using Parker G2 Gel ink) which is ultimately what I purchased it for.This makes for a pleasing work journal so I definitely recommend, although I hope a more professional colour will be in stock next time I need to purchase... 😅

Fits my purpose perfectly as a small pocket notebook

The Rhodia Webbie is a good quality notebook. It contains fewer pages than the Leuchtturm 1917 (a broadly equivalent comparison) and its lines are helpfully, for my writing, more generous so I tend to go though them faster than I go through Leuchtturm books. The Rhodia paper feels slightly heavier and has a smoother finish than the Leuchtturm 1917. For fountain pen users the Rhodia shows less bleed-through than the Leuchtturm - I found the Leuchtturm didn't like Pelikan Edelstein ink and that my writing was visible through pages even when writing with a fine nib and non-Pelikan ink. The Rhodia copes well, even when I am using an "inky" pen, so I can use both sides of a page. Will I buy more of these notebooks? Absolutely.

The covers feel really nice. It’s perfect for writing with a fountain pen, and I haven’t experienced any bleeding through the pages.

I looked carefully at the quality of the paper when purchasing this notebook and after using it for several months I can say that I made the right choice. The Clairefontaine paper is one of the smoothest and most durable compared to similar products.I mainly use pencils, coloured pencils, inks and brushmarkers and the results are optimal. Occasionally I also use some watercolours applied lightly and the paper responds well, even though, the paper deforms a little bit.I also tried Copic markers, they bleed through the page so I suggest applying some paper underneath when using them on this notebook.

Cover has a lovely feel to it, the paper is as smooth as glass which allows for a fountain pen to effortlessly glide. I use a Waterman Expert III with medium nib, so quite a wet writer and combined with this paper it’s a joyful experience but there’s never been any feathering and only a every so slight ghosting through to the other side. The pocket in the back seems sturdy enough although I’ve not used it for anything. The book is great and I will go for another one when the current ones full. There is one thing as pointed out by some, that when open its doesn’t sit completely flat due to the spine, but to me it’s no big deal.

I love these Rhodia plain sketchbooks . The paper is so smooth and the size a5 is perfect . It is a page turner for me sketching ! Beautiful feel to the cover , great elastic and the colours are so rich and varied . I use ink brush and Posca and acrylic paint and it all stays beautifully on the pages . As an artist I highly recommend these Rhodia sketchbooks . I have purchased more than one . The a6 are quite nice too and small enough to bring about with you . Buy these you won’t be sorry .

I like the colour, the feel of the cover and the quality of the paper. My only slight problem is with the size: my hand falls off the page half way down. But this is my problem - the book is fine.

Elegante, elástico de buena calidad, hojas que se sienten bien al tacto. PapelDe buena calidad. La recomiendo.

My first Rhoda had a Black cover but I found a rare (in Canada) Grid Mole Skin 5x8One thing I notice is paper and pen (felt top or pencil.The new Sharpie Fine is smooth on this and does not smudge or transfer to other side of pageColor of this Red Poppy always helps me while sorting in my Black/Grey PackSafe. It’s POPS. 😁Cover Seems to not scar as much as othersGood luck Stationary Fans
