help Midori MD Notebook A5 (Standard) FAQ

What GSM paper does the Midori MD Notebook use?

Midori MD Notebooks use custom paper developed specifically for the MD line, which is reportedly around 92gsm with a cotton-rich blend. The paper is designed to minimize ink bleed-through and show-through, making it popular among fountain pen users who test paper quality rigorously.

Does fountain pen ink ghost or feather on Midori MD paper?

Midori MD paper is widely praised in the fountain pen community for handling a broad range of inks with minimal feathering and ghosting. While very wet pens or heavily saturated ininks like Iroshizuku Kon-Peki may show slight ghosting on the reverse side, most standard fountain pen inks and nib sizes perform well on this paper.

Is the Midori MD Notebook A5 available in lined, grid, and blank formats?

Yes, the Midori MD Notebook A5 comes in three formats: lined (with approximately 6mm line spacing), grid (5mm squares), and blank pages. The Standard A5 also features a distinctive exposed spine binding where you can see the thread-stitched signatures, which allows the notebook to lay completely flat when open.

What is the difference between the Midori MD Notebook and the Midori MD Cotton notebook?

The standard MD Notebook uses Midori's original cream-colored paper optimized for writing smoothness, while the MD Cotton version uses a higher cotton-content paper marketed as being softer and more luxurious to write on. The Cotton version is slightly more expensive and is favored by users who prioritize tactile paper feel over maximum ink resistance.
