Portable Small Grid Notebook - 3.5"x5.5" Dot Grid Notepad for Field Notes, Sketching & Journaling | 64-Page Pocket Notebook for Students, Artists & Travelers | Pack of 6 Mini Graph Paper Notebooks for Bullet Journaling, Doodling & Outdoor Adventures

Works well in my travelers notebookI wanted some economical notebooks to put in my pocket-sized travelers notebook for everyday jotting of notes. I usually use fountain pens and was hoping I could use them with these notebooks. They work well overall for my purposes and are definitely good value. Seem my front and back photos of these with various pens.Pros:- Price. You get a lot of notebooks! These are probably some of the best priced notebooks I've come across.- Little feathering. Surprisingly, writing on this paper is not distorted, and there's little feathering even with various fountain pens. (Bleeding is another issue; see cons below and pictures.)Cons (some are personal preference):- Thin pages. I expected these pages to be a little thicker. There is definitely ghosting. Depending on the type of pen you're using, using the back side of pages might not be possible. This isn't a huge issue for me, as I just use this for jotting down quick notes or use only one side.- Dot grid size is larger than I've seen on most notebooks. Not a huge deal, but some might be against this. The sizing is ~5mm.- White space is rather large in the center between pages. Again, not a huge deal, but some might find this annoying.Overall, these are very well priced as an everyday notebook that works with most pens/pencils. If you're looking for thick, high quality paper to highlight your inks, you might want to look elsewhere. But these should work well for most purposes.Info* 4 rows/columns per inch (1/4" each)* Total for grid area 3"x5" (12 columns x 20 rows)Pros* Price - Most notebooks of similar style go for about twice the price, unless you are going for bulk packs (~24 packs)Cons* Thin paper - This causes a significant amount of ghosting when using pens to write, though not much of an issue with pencil* Inconsistent printing of grid - most pages have a fairly significant slant and different pages' dots would not align with each otherI have been using these pocket notebooks as something that I can keep in my back pocket and use for short term scrap notes. I like the dotted grid in that it helps organize things a bit better for me, but I would definitely prefer the 5 rows/columns that other notebooks have, and the misalignment is annoying. If you are looking for a quality pocket notebook, look elsewhere, but these have been a pretty decent dot-grid pocket notebook that can get beaten up and thrown out when finished without breaking the bank that doesn’t require a much larger bulk purchaseThe notebook is 3.5" X 5.5"-same as Field Notebook. 32 sheets (or 64 sides) I got the dot grid -just my preference.. I have no idea of it's durability-got it for 1) gardening notes, i.e.--that I intend not to die within the next year 7 2) strange reminders to myself. At home-I use a fountain pen-neither great nor bad, typical notebook-But it is a comfortable companion, T he botanical side it fits inside my ancient Rite in the Rain card holder w/ a pencil & thena plastic zip- lock bag All of us looking forward towards 2021. Thanks to the folks at Potage. ewI bought this product after reading this: "Our premium paper is smudge resistant and bleed proof". I use either an extra-fine or fine (both are Japanese pens. If you know about fountain pens you might also know that Japanese extra-fine and fines create a smaller line width. I was excited to put this field note into my new field notes cover. Unfortunately, after using various pens (two were filled with dry ink, I realized that all inks had ghosting and bleed-through. It turns out to not be such a good value.Its a nice little notebook for my job in the hospital to quicky jot something down. It fits nicely in my scrub top pocket and I can barely feel it.
