A dot grid notebook features pages with a series of dots in rows which are usually faintly marked, suggesting a grid pattern. Often referred to as the chameleon of page ruling.

Our signature dot grid steno pad. Now available with a 2-sided dot grid interior. Durable covers made of premium, sustainable cover materials available in Black, Pistachio, and Kraft. These notebooks are printed with a classic 1/4" (6mm) dot grid on carefully selected heavy smooth 70# paper that results in minimal bleeding and show-through. The durable double-wire spiral binding allows you to turn pages smoothly and lay flat. The sturdy back cover allows you to work standing. With this notebook, you can easily sketch out drawings or plan major infrastructure projects.
Write notepads and notebooks come with a lot of acclaim in the Fountain Pen world (especially on the Pen Addict). I purchased this because I've been looking for a suitable replacement for my Field Notes Steno, which I like a lot but don't exactly care for the paper of FN for fountain pens.
Here are the things I really like about this notepad:
1. Size/type - A5 Steno is perfect for office note taking. The Wire at the top helps lay flat and is out of the way of your hand for writing.
2. Color - Love the Pistachio
3. Dot Grid is fantastic, not too light, not too dark, and I like that it's in US Units. The Ruling is a great size for my handwriting, which tends to be more in Medium nib fountain pens.
4. Fountain Pen Ink tends to dry faster than other fountain pen friendly notebooks.
5. Handles water brushes very nicely without any extreme puckering.
6. Handles high-sheen ink very well, like Organics Studio.
Here's what I think could be better:
A. Paper - In comparison to something like Midori or Leuchtturm, the same nib on this paper writes a tad thicker on Write than comparable brands; perhaps a 1/2 size thicker.
B. Absorption rate of Paper - When working with inks that have higher levels of shading, this paper could do better.
C. True "Steno". Even though I love the dot grid, it would be nice to have a true steno ruling option, the vertical line in the center and typical ruling of stenos, I've found over the years, is very helpful for making lists. or taking short notes in columns.

The notepads from Write are excellent. Using them for random thoughts and doodles feels like I'm wasting a resource that should be put to better use. They work wonderfully with fountain pens.
