Product Information

Full details

The Basildon Bond Writing Pad is designed for stationery enthusiasts and correspondence writers who value the tactile quality of traditional, watermarked paper. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of premium 90 gsm paper and dedicated blotting sheets, which provide a professional finish to hand-written notes; however, potential users should note that the compact 178 x 137mm size is best suited for personal correspondence rather than long-form formal documents.

FAQs

Does this paper work with fountain pens?

Yes, the 90 gsm paper is excellent for fountain pens as it is smooth and prevents excessive feathering.

How many sheets are in one pack?

Each individual pad contains 40 sheets, and this bundle includes 10 pads total.

What is the exact size of the paper?

The paper measures 178 x 137mm.

Is the paper fountain pen friendly?

Yes, the weight and texture are specifically designed to provide a premium writing experience for various ink types.

Can I use these in a standard printer?

These pads are intended for hand-writing; the size and binding are not compatible with standard office paper trays.

What is the purpose of the included blotting paper?

It is used to absorb excess ink on the page, preventing smudges and ensuring the writing dries cleanly.

Troubleshooting

Paper tearing when removing from pad

Apply gentle pressure at the glue binding point and pull the sheet slowly at a slight angle to ensure a clean release.

Ink smearing during writing

Ensure you are using the included blotting paper beneath your hand or over the finished section of the text.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 90 gsm paper weight
  • Authentic watermarked paper
  • Blotting paper included with every pad
  • Consistent and reliable writing surface
  • Excellent value with the 10-pad bulk pack

Cons

  • Limited to one specific paper size (178 x 137mm)
  • Not suitable for standard A4 printing requirements
  • Requires manual sheet separation from the glue-bound pad

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Using the Basildon Bond Writing Pad is straightforward: simply fold back or tear off the desired sheet from the top-glued binding. To ensure the best performance with your preferred writing instrument, test your ink flow on the bottom corner of a sheet if using extra-broad fountain pen nibs. When finished with a letter, tuck the piece of blotting paper into your envelope alongside the sheet to ensure the ink remains crisp during transit. To preserve the quality of the unused sheets, keep the pads stored flat in a desk drawer away from direct sunlight or moisture.
