» Expanding the dotPad

It seems as though the new Rhodia dotPad is making a big impression. We have heard from writers, calligraphers and artists that simply LOVE the dot grid format on the Rhodia paper. For me, it’s my favorite non-blank page. I love the pale dots and found them to be great for practicing lettering with a dip pen or calligraphy pen.

And you must be loving it too because we are constantly hearing people ask if it will be available in formats other than the top-stapled pads. If yes, which would you want most? Spiral bound or hard bound? Would you like a dotWebbie?

Remember, Rhodia listens to our Rhodies! We love your feedback!

I would love to see these in spiral bounded form!

Spiral bound pads would be great but so would a dot Webbie. Both would fit in my daily arsenal.

A dotWebbie would be a great item IMO.

In a regular notebook form! Like the side stapled ones.

Yes! I am also the blank-page-fan that have fallen for the dot pad! A dotWebbie would be lovely! I’d also like the dots in a spiral bound format and in the little neat cahier. To start with…:)

Please, the dotted Webbie!

+1 for the dotPad Webnotebook 3.0

Since one can already easily remove the sheets from the current pad format, it might be pretty nice to have the option of having the dotPad sheets bound in signatures in a more permanent sketchbook format with sturdier covers.

Reverse Book would be awesome. I love that format, even better if it were stapled instead.

I’m a webbie user, and also a fan of the dotPad, and so having the two together would be ideal, it would give enough guidance for journaling to keep a straight line, but not as much as the ruled webbie, where the ruiling can get a bit over-powering.

+1 for the dotWebbie!

Both (spiral and dotWebbie) sound great! Unfortunately I don’t have anywhere to be dotPads in the first place, so maybe an addition to JetPens? :]

+1 for the dotWebbie, also a regular notebook like the side stapled.

I love the dot pad as is, it’s pretty much perfect for letters. However, I would also find a notebook style dot pad to be awesome as well. Don’t know why, but the paper is more fountain pen friendly than the blank pad of same size and design. Don’t ever change the paper! Please.

No. 16 (5.8 x 8.3 inch) top-bound spiral.

I would like a bound version, something that would fit this great leather cover
http://www.oberondesign.com/moleskine.php

I would love the #18 (top staple or top spiral). I can only find the #19 and, while this size is fine for note taking, it is non-standard in U.S. universities – so I can’t do my homework on it. That’s really sad, because I am addicted to this paper!

I know this is a pipe dream, but . . . American Letter size (8.5 inches x 11 inches) and “classic” planner size (5.5 inches x 8.5 inches). And a heavier weight paper (32 lb) would make it ideal for use in Circa notebooks.

Webnotebook and regular sidestapled, please!

+1 on planner size.

I would love to see Rhodia dot paper in a planner notepad refill pak.

Heck, I’d even like to see Dayrunner-sized offerings in their 7-hole format so I can use it in my ‘brain-book’.

I dig Rhoda, but wish there was leather covers for the notebook brand. I use a Molecover ( http://www.molecover.com ) on my Moleskine notebook.

Have you checked out Gfeller Leather? They have covers for the large & small Webbies.

Here is what I would love; a le carre dotpad. Black cover, 16 x 16cm, stapled top. Anyone with me?

Our office happens to have a coil binding machine. I slice off the top of the pad, and coil bind the sheets. The perforated line lands below the spiral, so that pages can still be ripped out.

It takes some work though… Rhodia, please start making dotpad in spiral bound form. I can confirm that it functions beautifully!

18 top spiral please! I’d buy a truly silly quantity!

Yes I also agree . . . American Letter size (8.5 inches x 11 inches) and “classic” planner size (5.5 inches x 8.5 inches)…

Thanks
