Caran d’Ache

This notebook has been designed with Caran d’Ache’s range of products in mind, and therefore is wonderful with a range of fountain pens and inks, and also works well with coloured pencils, pens and watercolours. The paper is only 90gsm, so if you lay on too much liquid, you will get a minimal amount of bleed through, so use them in moderation and you’ll be happy. The notebook has an original cover design that really stands out.

My in-depth review video looks at the construction and features of the journal, the quality of the paper, interesting information about the company, and includes a pen test of a full range of pens and watercolour paints, with a special fountain pen test. See my pen test page for an explanation of each test.
