Paper Selections
WRITING PAPERS
140gsm Standard Paper
An excellent quality all-purpose paper suitable for writing, drawing, fountain pens, and mixed-media journalling. It is soft white in colour and uncoated with a very light tooth. This is our most popular choice, offering the least amount of show-through from front to back and still a good number of pages. If you have purchased from us in the past, this is likely the paper you are used to from us.
120gsm Extra Smooth
Our newest paper option! This beautiful extra smooth paper is ideal for juicy fountain pens and brush lettering without wearing on your nibs. With 20% cotton blended in, the surface is buttery smooth but uncoated so there is no unpleasant slickness or long drying times. Page counts are the same as our 140gsm standard paper, but the finished books and inserts are a little thinner due to the lighter weight.
100gsm Standard Paper
The same quality and surface as our 140gsm standard paper in a thinner package! This lighter-weight option offers the maximum number of pages per journal while still boasting minimal show-through with most inks. If you want the maximum number of pages we can pack into a book and you don’t mind a little more show-through then this is the paper for you!
All of our writing papers are available in a variety of patterns:
- Blank
- Ruled (Fine 5mm or Wide 6.5mm)
- Dot Grid (Micro 3.5mm, Standard 5mm or Large 7mm)
- Full Grid (Micro 3.5mm, Standard 5mm or Large 7mm)
- Isometric (Dot or Full Grid)
- French Grid
- Calligraphy Practice (5mm or 7mm Baseline)
ARTIST PAPERS
140gsm Cartridge Paper
Our popular cartridge paper is also an excellent choice for artists! The surface is uncoated so it grabs dry media without loosing depth, but the paper has also been internally sized for wet strength so watercolours and other paints also perform beautifully.
225gsm Watercolour Paper
A superb acid-free paper suitable for watercolour and other wet-media. Our watercolour paper has a NOT finish (slightly rough) and is a mid-white shade. It holds without fraying even through repeated layering and scrubbing.
“Junk” Journal
A fun mix of our 225gsm watercolour paper and your choice of our 100, 120, or 140gsm cartridge paper printed with a random mix of dot grid, full grid, and ruled patterns.
Finally, all of our papers (standard and watercolour) are acid- and chlorine- free to ensure the longest possible lifetime for your precious work.

Capacity
All of our CitriDori refillable traveler’s notebooks are available in several widths to accommodate as many (or as few!) inserts as you like.
Approximate capacities:
- Slim: 1.5 – 4cm
- Original: 2.75 – 5.5cm
- Wide: 3.5cm – 6cm
- Chunky: 4cm – 6.5cm
Slim (2 Strings)
With the thinnest profile, CitriDori Slim is ideal for carrying from 1 to 3 inserts. It’s trim silhouette makes it easy to toss in your bag on the go!
Original (4 Strings)
The CitriDori Original spine has 4 internal strings for 4 individual notebooks. There is lots of room leftover, though, so you can use jump bands to expand your carry to 5 or 6 notebooks using the same cover.
Wide (6 Stings)
CitriDori Wide has 6 internal strings. Similar to the Original and Slim you can still add a couple more with extra jump bands and really stuff it to the brim.
Chunky (8 Strings)
CitriDori Chunky has 8 internal strings. This is a real workhorse! Don’t worry, though: the tough construction of all our CitriDori covers means even at max capacity your work is well protected.
Not sure what to do with so many inserts? Chunky still feels nice in the hand with only 6 or 7 inside so this can be a great choice if you think you may need room to expand later down the road.
