Eye-ease green paper--or what's left of it

[Gran]

Remember the days of Eye-ease green notebook paper and legal pads? All that's left are spiral-bound stenographer's pads. I saw the thread in honor of the composition notebook. While I like the sewn binding of the composition notebook, I prefer the top-bound steno pad. Perhaps that's because I have freedom of movement on the whole page. I've never been fond of writing in something which curves up or down.

 

I use the steno pads for journals, bookkeeping (yes, I do mine by hand), and doodling for health.

 

Anyone else like these lovely green-papered, top-bound niftinesses?

I do! I find that the ones I've used feather pretty badly, but are conveniently sized, and were actually pretty darn smooth. I wouldn't use them for anything I was going to show off, due to the feathering, but I love them for projects and notes and such.

Best steno pads I've found are Ampad Efficiency, green tint, made in USA. Smooth and non-feathering. My local Wal-Mart sells them in three-packs. I've found that the double-thick Ampad Gold Fibre white steno pad, supposedly a premium steno pad, feathers terribly.

 

I just did a quick google search and saw that Staples sells a small National Eye-Ease spiral notebook.

Those Ampad Efficiency pads are the ones I buy. I don't have trouble with feathering, but, am not carrying them around much. Last time I compared them with whatever was for sale at Office Depot, I preferred the color of the green and the lines of the Ampad.

I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the TOPS Prism Steno Book (actually it is a spiral top bound pad). The paper is not very thick but there has been no feathering or bleed through using a variety of pens and nib widths. The pads come in a couple of different paper colors. I am currently using one with light blue paper.

You can always buy a computation pad. I'm so sick of green computation pads. They do make ones that are white and buff, but they are basically impossible to find.

 

I'm pretty sure Roaring Springs still makes notebooks with the eye-ease-green paper. I'll see if I can dig up a link...
