FACTOR NOTES Notebooks Pack of 2: A5 Sized, 90 GSM, Journal Diary(Kraft/Plain)

Affordable and absolutely great for fountain pens. Binding could be improved to use edges

I bought this notebook because I wanted to start bullet journaling. It's been an alright book, not too great, and good for the price. Its been less than a month and I noted a few things:- The outer cover is paper cardboard, so easily gets dirty and its starting to get soft/wearing on the edges- The bindings are not great. I already have my first 'folded set (?)' come a bit loose. So those set of pages stick out slightly.. to a point where I am concerned if it will stay or fall apart soon. Not a pleasant feeling.- The pages are the best feature, no bleed, no feather, good thickness. Correction tape almost became invisible.- 40rows x 26columns : : 0.5cm squares : : Good for bullet journaling.But I dont see this notebook surviving a year, so I am writing from both ends inwards (organizer vs notes)- If you are reading this in December... I would recommend 'Menorah's Dot Grid (unpurchased recommendation)

When i started bullet journaling, I wanted a cheap dotted notebook. I didn't knew i will continue or not. SO i picked the small b6 3 in one pack of factor notes and i liked it. Then i bough this. What i liked about this product::160 pages for 219rs:pages are 90 gsm, gel pen leaves minimum ghosting:if you are a bujo starter go for it before investing in hard bind.:it is off white, ivory color pages which i liked:liked the cover, with dots in front, its simple, its moderately thickWhat i didn't liked:the front cover is not glossy, so with constant use it leave oil stains from hand:when the front cover is bend it stays that way, it irritates me:dot grid is not straight in some pages, so we cant draw a straight line connecting dots:binding doesn't stay downOverall if you are one a budget this is a good purchase, especially you are a beginner. I used the wall paper sticker, glossy one, black and stuck on the cover so it is good now.:

This Notebooks are one of the must haves for the sketch drawings, Prototype sketches and Record keeping of the Concept drawings for long term.

Thought this was dot grid journal but the pages are plain blank.

A really good fountain pen friendly paper, made in India.Pros:- No feathering with a wide range of inks (I didn't find an ink that feathers in this paper)- No bleed-through in writing (90 GSM FTW)- Low to medium show-though with all inks I've tried so far- Shows a decent amount of sheen- Doesn't soak up the ink: not very absorbent (the inks feel almost as wet as you would expect)- Pleasureful writing experience with all nib sizesCons: (I really don't have any so I'm nitpicking here)- Some pages (<1%) are inconsistent quality-wise- Would have preferred white paper over ivory- Wish this exact paper was available in other sizes like A4 (not all Factor Notes books have the same high-quality paper)- Wish they had a grid notebook variantThe writing sample is with a Sailor Pro gear, medium nib with Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai ink.

Literally tge cheapest dotted diaries available!They're quite nice and the page quality is great. The diary seems to be sturdy and firm.I put some stickers on mine too😋😋The ability to lay these flat is quite better than some other factor notes diaries like 'the blah' and more---At the end it's a good deal!!!!

Brought it for 3-4 times now. I must say that this dotted journalling book 📖 plays an important role in the way i manage time, work and track my goals. Started using it during the lockdown and still using it.
