Full details
The Rhodia Rhodiarama Goalbook Creation is an ideal choice for artists, bullet journalers, and professionals who require a versatile, high-quality notebook for both writing and mixed-media art.

FAQs
Is this notebook suitable for fountain pens?
Yes, the 200gsm Clairefontaine paper is exceptionally smooth and is widely considered among the best for fountain pen inks.
Can I use watercolors in this notebook?
While it handles technical wash and light ink, it is not a dedicated watercolor sketchbook. Use light washes only to avoid paper texture alteration.
How many pages does the Goalbook contain?
The Goalbook is designed for professional use and features enough pages to sustain a full year of daily planning and creative entries.
Is the cover waterproof?
The hard cover is durable but not waterproof. Keep it away from liquid spills to protect the integrity of the binding.
Does the paper have a grain direction?
Yes, like all premium stationery, the paper has a specific grain; for the best drawing experience, note the texture as you turn the pages.
Troubleshooting
Ink feathering on the page
Check that the ink being used is compatible with high-GSM paper, as some fast-drying inks react differently to coated surfaces.
Notebook does not lay flat
Gently press the spine open at various intervals to break in the binding; do not force it wide open if the glue is still cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Goalbook, avoid extreme moisture or direct sunlight for extended periods. When starting a new journal, flatten the spine gradually to ensure the notebook lays open comfortably. The blank pages are highly compatible with fine-liners, fountain pens, charcoal, and graphite pencils. If you plan to use wet media, perform a small test swatch on the last page to confirm how your specific ink interacts with the 200gsm texture. Clean the cover with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, and utilize the back gusseted pocket for keeping ephemera like tickets or business cards.
