» If not Blank, Dot, Graph or Lined, What would you like to see?
Doodling as much as I write, I am a big fan of the blank page. I find that lined has it’s place with me as well- using it for making lists, staying organized, and brainstorming. Big graph pads are fun for mind-maps and the dot pads fun for practicing calligraphy. For fans of the Cornell note taking system, Levenger is now exclusively offering Rhodia paper for their Circa notebooks that is annotation ruled.
I know that during my travels that I’ve seen a few other kinds of page rulings- are there any that you have seen that you’d like to see Rhodia produce?

The annotation ruling is a great idea – I also wouldn’t mind seeing a French-ruled/Seyes version.
An isometric grid, for drawing 3D structures. I need a way to fulfill my Minecraft obsession when I’m away from my laptop.
I’d love to see a pocket size notebook with lines like an old-fashioned ledger– better yet, with the greenish paper and a retro-looking cover too!

i’m not sure the name, but the top is blank for drawing, and the bottom is lined for writing. But not the wide lines like they use for children, but french ruled.
I have searched everywhere for paper like this, and there’s nothing of any quality
Ah… Bienfang makes something like that. I like that style as well.
We’ve actually had that request before! Nice!
How about ruling on only one side? In engineering classes, we always used these green paper pads with a graph ruling printed only on the underside of each sheet, showing though just enough to act as a guide but not nough to notice once written on.
I may be being dumb here, but I have some Rhodia stapled pads that are A4 Sayes ruled. Is this a European thing? They do exist in Seyes and Sayes C format here in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. Perhaps you could contact your European colleagues with a veiw to getting them sent to the US if there is a demand for them, such as requested by the other comments to this post. That way you would all get the format that you want in the orangey pads that we all love :)
HTH.
+1 for Seyes ruling. I’d be curious to know if Clairefontaine already offers a Seyes pad in addition to its bound notebooks. If so, does Exaclair import it? Still, I prefer the texture of Rhodia’s paper.
I like the idea of having a Rhodia pad in the Cornell note taking system, and I would offer it in the #18 size because students usually have a separate notebook for different classes, and being able to snap a Rhodia pad in each notebook would keep the notes for each class with the correct notebook.
Here’s an interesting one. How about a Seyes ruled Webbie? Just a wild thought…
How about notebooks with graphics and colors like stationery? Korean notebooks have these fun, cute pages for their notebooks, so when you doodle you can play around by integrating the existing design or just get inspired. Those notebooks are pretty and fun, but the paper quality is just not for fountain pens.
Is there a dot pad style Webbie and I’ve missed it? I’m still tinkering with this paper, but it seems to be a less restrictive format than lines or graphs.
I’d love to see Webbies with colored papers. I use Webbies almost exclusively, rather than pads.
If not colored papers, could we have different colored lines? It would be a quick visual cue of changed topics/subjects when the notebooks are open, rather than having to change ink colors or turn them over to check the label I’ve pasted on the front.
I take notes a lot in school, and I prefer Cornell formatting. I also prefer graph paper, so graph ruled note paper would be a dream come true.
