[whitedot]

Hey guys,

 

I am stocking up on UK/EU paper before I move to the Far East.

 

Any opinions on Cambridge Business Notebooks?

Interesting - I've never seen them - where do you buy them?

Well, this link should give you a good idea.

I shop in nearly all the retailers listed and Staples but I've never seen them - only the standard Cambridge line.

 

I wonder where the Business line can be bought from a bricks and mortar store.

How was the standard Cambridge line?

IIRC about as good as a Pukka pad - depending on the ink there was feathering.

 

Let's just say I have never bought one again.

I don't know about Cambridge pads but I can recommend Pukka pads which are available widely in the UK either spiral bound jotta pads or as refills. However, they are only 80 gsm but do take fountain pen ink very well with minimal feathering and print through.

What size of nib do you use?

 

I used broads with both Pukka and Cambridge and had some bad feathering with most inks. I rated them about as good as the poor Moleskine paper (which was much complained of) for feathering. Maybe with a fine nib they'd be okay.

 

Edit: just read your signature line - lots of fine nibs there!

Oxford notebooks are FP friendly

Pukka Pads are relaible only if you use a fine or xf nib and the less saturated inks. Go beyond and anything could happen!
