Lamy Notebooks - is the paper in them FP-friendly, or not?

[Mercian]

Hi all,

I have been using Rhodia Webnotebooks for my journalling for Some Time now, because the paper in them is very good for fountain-pen use.

But I have been toying with the idea of buying one of the notebooks produced by Lamy, not least because I am drawn to their 8mm line-separation with 4mm dot-gridding printed over it.

 

But I seacrhed FPN for discussion/reviews of the Lamy Notebooks, and found very few mentions of them.
More worrying for me is the fact that → this thread from 2021 ← is the most-recent mention of these notebooks on here, and it is a lament about the reduced fountain-pen-friendliness of the paper in the notebooks.

 

So, can anyone out there in FPN-land confirm that the paper in these notebooks is, in 2024, still this, lower quality, stuff?
Or can anyone perhaps say that the paper has been improved since 2021, and is now fountain-pen friendly?

 

My thanks to you in advance for any information that you can let me have.

Slàinte,
M.

I have two. A black one and a silver one. Have only used the black one yet. I'd say they are fp-friendly. I used it with fp, bp and pencil.

I've used loads of the grey A5 softcover ones (the set of 3) and they've all been great. They're my default notebook, now, since they're cheap, look good, and work well with fountain pens and pencils.
