RETTACY Blank Journal Notebook, 3-Pack, 160 Pages per Pack, A5 Medium Size (5.7'' × 8.3''), 100 GSM Thick Paper, Spiral-bound, Flexible Plastic Cover, for Sketching, Drawing, Painting

I needed to get a dotted notebook for class, this one was a great deal for two. I do not know much about the requirements needed to have a good bullet journal or dotted notebook, but compared to the typical paper, it was thicker and the size was perfect. B5 paper is not pocket sized, I would get A5 for that, this notebook was B5 and it was good for my class assignments. The notebook survived a semester in my backpack, and the spirals are good at keeping is flat when on a table. I used Pilot V5 RT and highlighters often, and I glued many things inside the notebook, and it did not bleed through or bend after using over 30 pages.

I ordered these a while back when I was past due for my next year’s agenda. I’ve been proudly utilizing personalized bullet agendas for 5 years now and they’ve changed my life on so many levels! ^__^ Such an amazing tool you guys! That being gushed about and all, This particular product pack of 3 was super affordable, the quality of materials is There and each one has more than big enough to fulfill a year’s-worth of calendar & agenda-ing needs! At some point this year I am absolutely ordering another set of these guys to last me the next 3 years since I’m on the last of the 3 now, which is the pink one. Last year I went with yellow. And the blue one I actually gifted a friend who I got into bullet agenda-ing hehe. Once you transition, you’ll never go back to pre-made agendas. Though, I will add that is where I personally began using agendas in the first place! And developing & establishing That habit alone is not easy for the first month or two. But guy, it’s amazing and I couldn’t recommend a more helpful tool for one’s life and such. As I gush some more lol.. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to review my review and hopefully it was helpful.By the way, I’m SO using the blue one from this next pack for 2026. o__o. I never got the chance to use that one! And it’s a lovely shade. ^_^

Since everyone else seems to only care about markers and pen, thought I'd weigh in.I'm picky about my dot/graph paper. I have books filled with technical drawings, and the highest praises I can give to such paper are:1. Is it heavy enough to be moved around the shop or studio? 8.5/10. I wouldn't hate it if this was a HAIR thicker, but totally not a deal breaker.2. Does it work well with GRAPHITE (eg, is it too rough/too smooth)? 9/10. For all-purpose paper? 10/10.3. Does it erase well? Does it tear? Is it prone to smudging? 10/10. No complaints.4. Most critically, for me, ARE THE DOTS TOO HEAVY OR FAINT? 10/10. No! They're spot on! I'd call them maybe 40-50% opacity (black on white)? Call it 4H-6H? At a glance, I'd call it #9999AA (they appear to have a SLIGHT cool tone to them, but I'm writing this in my shop, not my studio, and the lighting in here is all 6000K ambient LED, maybe - MAYBE - 90 CRI)?But most critically, the dots can be easily 'shopped out with minimal effort or even impact on the illustration. They're JUST dark enough to see for purposes of laying down a line or following a curve, but still light enough they don't change the cast of the image if a line falls atop one. Clearly visible through engineering stencils too.All in all? 9/10? Call it 9.5 if you factor the price (WHY is DOTTED paper more expensive than LINED?! It's LESS INK! "There's less demand." For you to hit the bloody PRINT BUTTON!? I call BS.)If you're looking for a solid, all-purpose pad for writing notes, graphite, pen, or marker work, this is a solid choice. There's a BIT of bleed through with heavy inks (I said it could be a hair heavier), but since I work 99% in pencil? I believe the expression is, "Nyah nyah!"

Best notebooks ever. They got me through college. They are the perfect blend between too much and too little lines, just in this case it is dots. It was great quality. The pages are thick and never have I had ink bleed though the paper (I use fountain pens)

I bought this for utility use on notes and it functions quite well.Pro: Inexpensive, yet serviceable. It is reasonably sturdy - better than its card stock cover competitors. Fountain pen ink will dry fairly quickly so it's great for note taking. The dots are substantial enough to be useful in writing neatly while being light enough to almost hide behind any writing. Feedback with fountain pens is not huge, but noticeable. Bleed through requires a fair amount of ink. It is slightly less white than ordinary binder paper, but not so creamy that ink colors are distorted.Con: No closure strap.It needs an elastic band. The paper is not really fountain pen friendly so much as fountain pen tolerant. It is slightly prone to feathering and has noticeable feedback (If you don't like feedback then you won't like this paper.) Sizing is too low to allow sheening inks to sheen much. This notebook really isn't for journal keeping.So, do the cons mean I'll return the product? No,. Would I buy it again, probably. Basically it is a good buy for anyone needing to take notes and have the notebook survive being thrown in a bag or around a desk.

These are my favorite notebooks for journaling., I like the thickness of the paper, the size and overall design.

The dots are excellent - far better than what I was hoping for. Subtle enough so you can treat each page as blank if needed, yet perfectly present if you need them for whatever. Precisely what I was looking for.

love this notebook. very durable love the dots, works perfectly for my casual note taking purposes
