the paper is sturdy and the back is a good size of thick cardboard.

What I wish I knew before I bought a fountain pen...I prefer to do my writing on graph paper, which allows me to better space my letters both horizontally and vertically. This Zaviko 70 gsm graph paper is NOT advertised as being fountain pen friendly, but it could be. Almost on the same level as Rhodia Dot Grid 80 gsm paper as far as preventing liquid inks from bleeding through or feathering, but at a fraction of the price (8 1/2" X 11" Zaviko paper is 5.8 cent per page, A4 Rhodia paper is 19.2 cent per page), this paper hit the sweet spot for me. Additionally, the Rhodia paper dot matrix has roughly five lines per inch, this Zaviko graph paper has four lines per inch. More lines per inch would be better, IF I could write that small, but to me, a line only 3/16" tall is simply too small unless I'm writing with my Uni Jetstream Edge Ballpoint Pen with a 0.28mm tip while wearing magnifier glasses. Size DOES matter, and I need that extra 1/16" per line. The individual pages are prepped for clean detachment from the block with the use of functional perforations that actually tear along the perforated line. Only 30 pages per block, so you don't have that awkward drop-off as your hand goes off the edge of the block while writing, and the even more awkward writing angle!I normally pay attention to that "Made in U.S.A." label or sticker, and prefer to buy products made by my extended neighbors. However, when it comes to buying supplies and accessories for my writing habit, "Made in U.S.A." generally means "STOP! Don't". When it comes to buying liquid-ink-pen friendly paper, buying this Chinese brand's paper is actually a better buy (with less harm to the environment because I can write on both sides of the paper) than trying to find an inferior and higher priced American-made equivalent product.Speaking of which, if you're in the habit of writing in off-size notebooks, I would recommend going to the Dollar Store, and get one of those cheap "Composition Books" with the black and white cardboard cover, made in Vietnam, India, or China. Why? Because their kids still write with fountain pens in school, so their paper is suitable for use with fountain pens. Those Composition Books cost between 50 cents to a dollar each; try it out for yourself. Our kids' school work is done on tablets, so "we" don't care about the quality of our paper as much anymore. It only needs to be good enough to laser print bills, invoices, and junk mail on it. And it needs to be 100% post-consumer recycled paper, or made from cage-free organic trees, of course, for the appropriate signaling of corporate citizenship.

I love this graph paper! I am a “doodler” and have been playing around with 3D drawings as seen on Facebook and YouTube. I bought the 1/4” and 1/2” grid paper, thinking I would most likely prefer the 1/2” grid. I was wrong…the 1/4” is definitely easier to work with on the 3D drawings. I’s all for fun for me, and I am enjoying every minute of it! I will always keep some of these grid pads on hand.

The pages used for this notepad are really high quality and you can use a variety of inks and there would be no ink bleeding. My only issue relies on the fact that you need to be really careful and have a certain technique to tear the pages since the tear outline is really prone to ripping off the actual page.
