Midori Traveler's Notebook (Refill 002) Grid

Excellent quality and beautiful color

I buy these refill notebooks for my bullet journaling system in my Traveler's Notebook. I love that I can have 3-4 of them together at the same time to span different projects or studies.I use fountain pens almost exclusively in them and the paper absorbs the inks quickly without feathering or bleeding through. They don't even have issue with ghosting so I can use both sides of the paper unlike cheap notebooks when using heavy volumes of ink. I predominantly use an extra-fine nib pen for my writing but it also handles medium, broad, and 1.1 italic nibs without any issue.I have found that the dry time is faster than other papers like the Rhodia dot pad which is favorable to me since I often want to write quickly without worrying about shutting the pages and getting a lot of transfer to the opposite page. The quick dry time is also a strong need for me as I am left-handed and even with the different styles I can hold my pen there is always a chance for me to smear ink if it doesn't dry quickly enough.I have tried other notebooks made with Tomoe River paper and with Rhodia but I prefer these for the reasons listed above. It's also fantastic that they are the lowest cost inserts I have found so they are almost too good to be true!The one downside is that shimmering or other specialty shading inks do not perform well on this paper due to the quick absorption ability of the paper. This is not in any way a criticism of the paper since it just can't dry quickly AND show off your fancy inks. Since I prefer and need the quick dry time it's just something I had to choose. Just want to make others aware of it in case they are hoping for their unique inks to really shine in this notebook.

Love this grid insert. The grid is a nice size. The lines are a little darker than the grids in the planners. Personally, if I used black ink I would think it would be a little distracting and harder to read with the dark lines. The paper is heavy and slightly rough and holds fountain pen ink really well with minimal feathering and no bleed through. The cover is rich, dark brown.

I have been using a mixture of Tomoe River Paper, 32 lb printer paper and other fine papers for my fountain pens, but I always come back to midori. I like that it is a smooth texture and it has a good smooth to thickness ratio making it just right for me. Minor ghosting and no bleed with my pens. It is easy to cut down to A6 or Field notes sizes for my purposes.

My go to paper for my travelers notebook. It's not the thickest, but it holds up great with my fountain pen setups.

Midori Travelers Notebooks are infinitely customizable, and super-easy to put together and use. You can make them as thin or as bulky as you want, depending on what your interests are. If you're a writer, like me, these accessories provide endless combinations of notebooks, adhesive pockets for the inside of the leather covers, stencil straight edges, extra connection bands, etc. Never saw such a flexible book before, or since. You can file the filled books, or toss 'em. Ingenious!

Great paper so far. I have yet to have any feathering and no bleedthrough. However, I’m using the refill by itself and it does not lay flat by itself.

I use this grid paper primarily for sketching out my quilt patterns. That's...an incredibly specific purpose for it, but I thought I'd share. I doubt many quilters carry around their Midori for drafting patterns, but who's stopping you from using it from gridding out your room for rearranging? Your house? Especially teeny games of tic-tac-toe?I kid, but beyond drafting, this also works for plain writing. Some people prefer lined, some people prefer grid. It's up to you, homefry.

Really nice notebook !!
