How does this pad measure up to the Web Book? Will there be bleed through when using a fountain pen?

Hi,Yes. This compony is famous for their paper qualitiy since 50's. we never heard these pads bleed through.

I have never used the Web Book; but I love this pad and have bought it exclusively for my fountain pens. It does not bleed through unless I accidentally write unusually hard and even then it is only slightly discernible. I love the dots vs. lines for every day use. The dots are a very soft, light blue; the paper is very white and a nice weight (21.3 lb). It shows off the ink beautifully. I quickly went through one pad and didn't hesitate to buy another one. Bottom line... great for fountain pens.

I use Rhodia paper. Including this very pad, with a TWSBI extra fine. Great, smooth hand and no bleed through. I have not used Web Book, but am very happy with Rhodia. Devin take preferable to Moleskine for my fountains.

If your main concern is bleed through, it shouldn't be an issue here. I frequently use this pad with fountain pens. It's the main reason I went with Rhodia. It's very smooth to write on. No discernible bleed through, even with the wetter inks I've tried.

I have both. This notebook (the Markings) used to be a great deal; I payed $6 and some change for mine several months ago. However, now that the price has doubled (and is more expensive than the comparable Moleskine), there is only one reason one would buy the Markings journal over its Italian counterpart: capacity. While the Moleskine has only 192 pages, the Markings has 240. But, while it has more paper, Markings' paper quality control is a crapshoot. I use fountain pens, and this is an issue. My brown Markings journals perform very poorly with my pens (lots of skipping and flow issues), but my black one is better; not on par with Moleskine, but close. If you use pencils, then this probably won't be an issue for you. Overall, it's clear the degree of quality Moleskine holds itself to far surpasses Markings'. When I use my Markings, I feel like I'm using a sub-par product. When I use my Moleskine, I feel like I'm using a refined and purposeful product. Try this brand if you want, but I personally would rather pay less money for a Moleskine and get a much better chance at quality paper; even if there's less of it.

I used some heavier stock which did not bleed through. I practiced with typing paper to get my calligraphy the way I wanted it and don't remember that it bled through there.

The extra fine does not write that wet. I have not experienced any bleed on the otherside of the paper. If you want it to write wetter, I would suggest a wider tip.

The problem here is that Amazon did not describe what pad you are talking about. PLease define so I can properly answer your question.

The loop is small. I am not an expert on the range of stylus diameters out there, but my stylus is too large to fit the loop, and I would call my stylus "medium" (it is not noticeably thick or thin, maybe ~3/4 the diameter of a standard ink pen).

The paper is of good quality but I would not recommend using fountain pen. I prefer a heavier smoother paper for that.

They are really good for fountain pens. For me, I use Noodler's, J. Herbin, Pilot Iroshizuku and Private Reserve inks, no bleed-through at all.

No, it will not. The pad acts like a paper and the pen like a pen. Any markings the pen does will be the only markings on the "paper" without the trouble of smearing or any annoying paper work issue.

With a fountain pen, the show-through is rather too much to write on both sides. With a gel pen, it is no problem. But, the paper quality is not great.

I chose to get the smallest size because of desk space in my cramped office and limited budget. I'm actually using it right now. I found I adapted to the smaller pad size really well and can draw freely. So I don't find it an issue at all.

It does hold a normal sized legal pad. Although a flaw, in my eyes, is that the area that allows you insert loose papers is very tight to where its somewhat difficult to insert papers and therefore it doesn't hold very many. That's my only complaint, other than that well made and had all that I would want in a padfolio.

Yes, it does. I'm left handed and run my hand over the words right after I write them. I find that I often smear ballpoint ink because it blobs and those parts smear easily. The fountain pen ink seems to dry faster. The only exception is shiny paper. The ink does not dry quickly on shiny paper.

Good morning. That's a good question; I did a little experimenting on my own for that very reason. I found that it depends in part on what kind of paper you're writing on. Obviously, cheaper paper with more "bleed-thru" will make the pen strokes look on the broader side. When I use these pens on slightly pricier parchment paper (that Strathmore stuff they sell at Hobby Lobby, to be specific...$7.99 for a package of 50 sheets) they work *great*, and the fine-nib pens are almost "too fine", if that makes any sense. When I realized all my Jinhao pens were equipped with M nibs I ordered a couple of fine-nib pens to experiment with for the same reason you're seeing, and found that for purely artistic reasons the M nibs were more to my liking I guess. Fine nibs are great for office use, but if you're writing letters, party invitations, writing in a journal (presumably a nice one with good paper), I'd stick with the Medium nibs. Sorry...to answer your actual question, I'd say these pens tend a bit more to the broad side of M. I hope this helps! :-) John in Arkansas

In my experience no. I use sketch and drawing paper and the ink never bled through.

I haven't used markers very much so far with this sketch book but what I have used hasn't bled much. I could see it bleeding through if you were using a heavy amount. Hope that helps.

I have never tried a fountain pen on a Black 'n Red casebound notebook. Sorry!
