If you've ever written on Rhodia paper, you'll understand why it has such a devoted following. Smooth, fountain-pen-friendly, and consistently excellent — Rhodia notebooks are a benchmark in the stationery world. But with several distinct lines in their range, it helps to know what sets each one apart.
At CzipLee, we stock a curated selection of Rhodia notebooks. Here's your complete guide.
Why Rhodia Paper Is Special
Rhodia uses 90gsm Clairefontaine paper — the same paper used in Clairefontaine's own notebooks, and widely regarded as some of the best writing paper in the world. It's:
- Fountain pen friendly — virtually no bleed-through or feathering, even with wet inks
- Smooth — nibs glide effortlessly, reducing writing fatigue
- Consistent — every sheet performs the same, batch after batch
If you use a fountain pen, Rhodia paper is one of the best surfaces you can write on.
