FACTOR NOTES A5 Notebook: Ruled | 90 GSM | 160 Pages (Trust the process)

This my second purchase from Factor notes. I got a journal last year too, and it's just perfect for me. 160 pages are more than enough for me, the size of the journal is easy to carry. And the gae quality is also premium. The binding is good and what caught my eyes was the variety of covers. Really cute and aesthetic ✨

I will write from perspective of fountain pen writing and the term we come across, is this paper fountain pen friendly. Short answer is yes, it is. First disclaimer about test, I use fountain pens for daily writing and usually am around fine and medium nibs, also flex nibs have not been tested yet for they are not loaded. Now observations below. Long answer- It is ink friendly paper for most part, I have not seen bleed issues on any inks I tested so no bleeding part is true, the only ink that showed show thorough was platinum carbon black and that in very wet tuned nib (in range of broad pens or more), rest were great. I also did not see any feathering of any sort so it should be fine (carbon black that wet does feather, so does auguro and ina ho if paper is not good, so most part I don't expect any feathering for daily writing. Paper is general is smooth paper and good to write, all in all its actually decent for the price its offered if one is looking for writing journal or such on them. I will update the review if I see any other inks of mine behave differently, otherwise this genral principal should apply. Final thoughts and small footnote For so called fountain friendly papers which give poorer writing experience for exuberant cost they charge (I won't name any but there are many), this one so far has been fresh breath of air for 200rs per notebook/journal. Downside (if it is considered) is that its softback, upside of said cover is that it looks beautiful and feels very nice.

Excellent paper quality. Perfect for fountain pens. No bleeding or ghosting experienced even with my wettest fountain pens. No resistance from the surface of the paper making it very enjoyable to write with fountain pens. However it's not perfectly flat lay style but manageable with some force. Not sure how the binding glue will hold up after some time of continuous usage. Looks and feels very premium. Also wished that it was also available in spiral bound form which would have made it much more easier to use. Also B5 size would be welcome.

Paper quality is very good! Recommended

Great quality and looks amazing, as shown.
