I haven’t written about the Zequenz brand in quite a while. I did a detailed Zequenz notebook review in 2010, and ever since then have meant to try using one as a daily notebook, but I never got around to it. It will be at least a few months before I can give my old Zequenz notebook a try as that part of my collection is currently buried in a storage unit!
In the meantime, I noticed a couple of new (or at least new to me) products on Amazon:
This one seems to be the same as their basic notebooks other than having a perforated cover design. The product description notes “premium paper,” but the Zequenz website indicates that this line has 70 GSM paper, vs the 80 GSM or 100 GSM paper found in some of their other notebooks. Other reviews I’ve read say that even the 70 GSM paper performs ok with some fountain pens, but the 100 GSM is much better (see this one. Also this one.)
The “Galaxy” notebooks have metallic covers, and offer a taller 4×7″ size option. These have 70 GSM paper.
Zequenz seems to have quite a lot of other product lines shown on their website, including a series with cork covers, which look very nice! Unfortunately there is not much description to tell you what distinguishes some of the other lines.
I’m tempted to pick up a new Zequenz to see if I love it as much as the one I reviewed. So many brands have declined in quality over the last few years–it would be nice to find an exception to the rule!
