Oxford Red and Black A4 notebooks for work, looking for an alternative
As you will see from my post count I am a fledgling so looking for advice on notebooks for work .......
I am conscious that both Oxford Red and Black brand and also the A4 size is perhaps not common on the other side of the Atlantic in the U.S.? In which case apologies to those people, but here in the UK they are quite widely used.
I use these notebooks, (provided generously by my employer) at work and I guess compared to the other budget / cheap books I have used they are are actually pretty good. The paper is of reasonable smoothness and quality and, provided I use the drier of my FP's I have no issues with minimal horribleness.
HOWEVER, if I get out my 'Juicy' pens it is carnage. The fact that it is 90 gsm paper and described as 'Premium' is both encouraging and worrisome - do I really need to use heavier gauge paper than this? :
Could anyone advise what my cheapest option for a hard-back notebook of this size which is robust enough to deal with a wet writing foutain pen? Some Rhodia pads, for example are available through our suppliers, do you think they would be much better? I am struggliong to work out whether they are 'good' paper for FP.

I am also starting to think that spiral wound may not be that good for me, the rings really get in the way when you are writing on the 'other side' of the page, I might be better off with a normally bound one.
Any other recommendations?
