DESIGNPHIL 15311006 Midori Notebook, MD Notebook, Journal, A5, Block Ruled A

Midori products are superb.. but packaging was not done properly. There were scratches on the notebook cover .

This is a great lay flat notebook… Although it can handle fountain ink, I do not recommend use of a heavy flowing nib. I would also use quick drying inks. I did not experience bleed through, but severe smudging did occur. I would not go beyond a medium nib nor use a very slow drying ink. Now the positives are many. As previously mentioned it lays very flat, The design is nearly perfect it just is simply what it is supposed to be. Typically Japanese understated and always elegant, from the impossibly beautiful design to it’s understated ribbon place holder. The stickers are also a nice touch with wrap around the page duality. Hai!

The paper is smooth and handles pen ink well with no bleed-through. Dot grid is subtle but useful. Lays flat easily which was very important to me and makes it great for journalling or notes.

The paper is a dream, perfect for fountain pen ink. Lays flat.
