Review on πŸ“š Premium Clairefontaine Wire 6 5x8 25 Margin Colors - Elevate Your Writing Experience! by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sweet and sour on office and school supplies

Nice light white with medium light purple lines, lighter than standard US blue notepad paper. There is a red left vertical field line. There are no holes for attaching rings, only holes for attaching wire. At 8.0 mm, the line spacing is closest to the American latitude line. (College/Narrow Rule - 6.4, Medium - 7.1, Wide - 8.7.) Wire Binding - 11mm. I received a beautiful light yellow cover with marigold accents. The paper is smooth and takes fountain pen ink well. I use Noodles Bulletproof ink with a vintage 1940's Parker pen and the writing is amazing. No shading, star-shaped lines, the back does not show through. The cover is laminated to be spill resistant, very thin and unusable without a hard writing surface. It folds up nicely into a purse or backpack, but I need it on my lap for writing and wish it had a solid chipboard back. I will visit my local print shop and purchase perforated chipboard to use, but will not order again once the pages are full. I also wanted tighter line spacing so I could write more on the page, especially at this price point. I really like that the pagers are NOT perforated. I wish we could see more of this in the US. I want the pages to stay in the book. I would also like them to list line spacing in millimeters in their product description. I tried to find it on several websites and couldn't.

Pros
