EMSHOI 3 Pack Spiral Notebook 7.48" x 10.15" - B5 Large Composition Notebooks College Ruled, 480 Pages 100gsm Lined Paper, Plastic Hardcover Journals for Writing Women Men Work School Supplies Gifts

First and foremost, I definitely wouldn't say I'm a stationary expert. But as a university student who enjoys taking physical notes, I've gone through my fair share of it. Things I like: ~ There is minimal denting or bleeding through the paper. I almost exclusively use Sharpie S-Gel pens, which has a pretty thick ink and press pretty firmly into paper, but the bleeding is still far less noticeable. ~ The paper has more of a soft, creamy white/warm white color compared to the bright blue-white paper in standard notebooks. To me, it's more visually pleasing. ~ The size is roughly 1 inch smaller in both dimensions. So it's not a "small" notebook, but it does pack nicely into my backpack without being significantly taller than my books. The ONLY complaint I have so far, is noticeable smudging when using highlighters. I typically prefer using Pilot Frixion highlighters, but the amount of smudging while using them is simply too much in these. Even using Sharpie Smear Guard highlighters (my second favorite set) causes some smudging, albeit significantly less than the Pilots. I'm not sure if it's because the paper is a heavier weight, but I have not experienced this issue with either highlighter set in the past while using lighter stock notebook paper. Some reviews have mentioned issues with the plastic covers rolling up or the binding coming undone. I've only had these for two weeks, but see no signs of that so far. One final note, the notebook listing says, "3 Pack 480 Pages." What they mean by that is 240 SHEETS with 2 sides per sheet. So each notebook has 80 sheets of paper. I've included pictures of the Emshoi notebook compared to a Mintra college ruled notebook (a more typical notebook you would find online or at Target or something) so people can have a side by side comparison. Both sheets have notes written on the front and back pages, with notes also on the sheet below it. The highlighter test is on the Emshoi page and shows the smudging issue I'm referring to. I hope this helps!

The EMSHOI Line Journal Spiral Notebooks are perfect for keeping organized notes, journaling, or sketching out ideas. The paper quality is excellent - thick enough to prevent bleed-through, even with fountain pens. The spiral binding is sturdy and allows the notebooks to lay flat, making it easy to write on both sides of the paper. The covers are durable and give the notebooks a professional appearance, suitable for both work and personal use. With multiple notebooks in a pack, these are a great value and have quickly become my go-to for all my writing needs.

My son (now senior in HS) has been using these for years. He loves them. He has some quirks and the graph paper help him write especially for math, science, engineering. He has started using them for all his classes, for writing as well, he says his brain likes it. He also says he really likes that the paper is not stark white, it is softer more off white, ivory, or whatever, but not bright white, and he really likes that. He will keep buying these through college I am sure. The only thing he wishes is that they would use another method of binding, or cover the metal with something. As he pushes and pulls them in and out of his backpack they catch on one another and tear and deform. We are going to try some duck tape over the new new one and see how it goes to protect it. Over all though, he enjoys the notebooks.

Very handsome, I like the colors and the cover. The paper is nicely laid out and pretty thick, and I'd say it's a good value purchase. The spiral binding is mediocre and will become loose at some point, slipping out of its berthing. The pages are also not particularly tearable, which is a small con. Finally, for fountain pen users, I wouldn't recommend anything larger than a fine nib. Not much ghosting due to the thickness, but there is feathering and you won't see sheen or shading.

I love them they are great great quality

Perfect for Left handers . I have purchased these about 9 times now. Solid feel, paper is thick, feels good to write on. Great for bullet journaling.

Quality notebooks with very nice, smooth paper. The paper is a light cream color, easy on eyes, and it’s strong enough to withstand the metal spiral (doesn’t tear too easily, but strong enough to stay put). The notebook is slightly smaller than 8.5x11 and is a great size for meeting notes. Not too big. Will definitely buy again.

I will continue to buy these notebooks!! I’m so picky about good paper, this is very good quality paper, your pin just glides and it is not see through as some paper is. This is a steel at this price.

These are now my go to notebooks for work. I love the dotted pages, and the dots are just the right colour, and not too big or small. I like the sturdy covers, which survive my clumsiness!
