## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the paper made of wood pulp or cotton? I searched for cotton paper and this came up**
A: The MD Notebook comes in two types of paper: MD Paper Cream and MD Paper Cotton.

For most of MD Pape’s history since it was first developed in the 1960s, MD Paper was only available in white. This paper was used in MIDORI’s Diaries, Daily Journal and Diamond Memo, and remains a long-standing favorite.

MD Paper Cream was launched in 2006. With a warmer color that is gentle on the eye, this paper is ideal for writing with a fountain pen. It also has the perfect balance between smoothness and a little resistance, ensuring comfort and making writing a pleasure.

MD Paper Cotton was developed in 2013, with cotton pulp used for 20% of the materials, giving it a soft, fuzzy texture. Cotton paper is also extremely durable and preservable, and has long enjoyed a reputation as high-quality paper in Europe, where it was used for important paperwork and official documents for centuries. Its fibers are longer and narrower than those of pulp, giving it a smooth, pleasing texture with a softness that feels like it is infused with air.

This cotton-soft white paper is ideal not only for classic fountain pens but for colored pencils too. This special version of MD Notebook is available only with blank pages, as a specialist art notebook.

**Q: What gsm is the paper?**
A: 68 gsm according to this review: 

https://fountainpenlove.com/reviews/midori-md-notebook-review/

**Q: Are the gridlines black or blue?**
A: The grid lines are blue

**Q: Is the paper in the notebooks Tomoe River paper?**
A: No. Tomoe river paper is thin, almost onion skin thin. This is more like Leuchtturm or Clairefontaine.
