r/midori

Hi all.

I really love Midori pad paper. I have both the standard and the cotton one. So naturally the next notebook I bought was a Midori. It took a while to track down a line grid, because they were always out of stock, but I finally managed to get one.

Sadly, I've been a bit disappointed with it. Like I think the paper differs from the pad ones. I even have another Midori notebook that has a grid and it feels somehow better? I'm not sure.

I write on it using 2 Pilot pens; Capless (Vanishing Point) and Falcon. I'm quite fond of the way the Capless feels, because there's some friction I can feel. But the same friction is a pain for my Falcon.

Now I just wasn't to add that my previous notebook was an Endless one (Regalia paper or something like that). And with that one and the same pens and ink I had a totally different experience; my Falcon was great and my Capless was too smooth. It didn't have enough friction and I couldn't get any nice writing in.

Either way, while I had that notebook, I compared it to the Midori pad paper and absolutely love those. I don't understand my dissonance with the pad VS (lined) notebook paper and wanted to ask if some of you felt the same?
