I got this pad for writing letters and I personally felt that my fountain pens didn't lay down ink as easily on this paper compared to my hobonichi journal or Rhodia pad. I'll probably just use gel pens with it.

For context, I write on this with a Fine nib on a TWSBI Eco using Diamine Twilight inkThe paper is fine, I wish it stayed in the pad but it peels right off whether you want it to or not, same with the cover. For the sake of keeping the pages together (keeping as a book or journal), this is an inconvenient pad. For ripping out a page to give to someone, this is great as the pages peel more effortlessly than I've ever experienced. I tend to get sweaty palms and so far it hasn't been an issue with this paper. I have had no ghosting from writing or doodling, however if you have a Medium nib or larger you may end up with some if you write very slow or with unnecessary pressure. I've been using this for about a month now, to practice my handwriting. For that, it is exactly what I'd want.

Nice and smooth, and a good size for letter writing. I have one ink that dries especially slow, and I use a blotter to help it dry, especially on this paper which it seems to dry slower on. Bright white paper, shows ink colors well. No bleed thru of any of my fountain pens, even a pretty wet flex, and stub nib.

Very handy sized good quality writing pad. Fountain pen friendly and reasonably priced and a handy size

I use this pad for writing letters to my family and friends, and it has served this purpose greatly. The paper is a very crisp and bright white, which makes any ink look good. The only knock I'll give it is that I have slight trouble removing the papers from the pad after I'm done writing, but I've never had good luck with tear-away paper.
