Hello, everyone, I really hope you’re doing well. So today I’m going to do a quick review of the monster dot grid journal refill. If you’ve been subscribed to my channel, you saw recently did a review of this refillable leather journal that they offer. And today I’m just going to show you this dot grid refill real quick. This one comes with a lined journal, I’m not sure if there’s an option to choose which one you want with your order.
Gotta check that out if you’re interested in one of these. And yeah, these also come with different types of covers and cover designs, but here are the refills to offer a doctorate. So the dimensions on this are 5.75 inches by 8.25 inches or 14.
centimeters by 21 centimeters, so it is roughly a five and these can see it is like a cardboard craft paper cover and then you have another cover page here and it goes into the dot grid paper and then he can see where the spine is glued together with the cover right there and this is the back and it comes with a brown oak mark right there. Yeah, and he’s so you can see it stitched stitching right there. And it does like fairly flat once you break into it. I go and it is 70 gsm paper. And if you watched my last previous review on this, the paper is very unassuming.
It’s just good old white plain paper and it’s just me and so I wasn’t thinking too much of this paper because it’s not coated it’s not fancies and ivory colored. But I was really really pleasantly surprised with my writing sample. So here as you can see is a pencil ballpoint pen hybrid pens, couple gel pens, and ballpoint pens and then we have two fountain pens parliamentary problem with medium nib and then here’s the here’s Buford 30 with a food in them and we’re using diamond marine ink here and then Simon mirlo and then flip it over. Yes you do have ghosting since the paper is so thin but there is absolutely no bleed through with the fountain pen so I’m really really impressed with this because usually 70 gsm paper you do definitely have bleed through with fountain pens. Except if you maybe use some tomo river paper or some expensive specialty paper, but not with regular paper like this.
So very pleasant surprise. It has 320 pages and it is super affordable. So really great refill in my opinion. The only thing I noticed with the dots is some of them at the top here just like slightly crooked by like a half millimeters. So let’s see if I can find a page where that is the case like right here so I’m like thing in camera like you can see the dots like have cut off here and then when you come down here you can see the dots more fully.
So it’s just such as half a millimeter off the way they cut it but I wish there was a margin around the edges here to make it look cleaner. Instead of every paper having a slightly different I would say like it’s cut slightly differently here was like sometimes like It’s like where the thoughts start is different on every page like here they come down and then on this side just slightly off with the other seat here they can see the dots in here you can’t so yeah, I think that would probably increase the price point when it comes to this journal. So in my opinion, I think I will take a low price bone over having this looking super clean. And you can see that here the edges are pointy and the paper lines up perfectly with the cover. Let’s see if I forgot anything.
Yeah, these are also there’s these are made in India. So it’s one last thing. Anyways if you’re looking into getting refills for this journal, it’s definitely an option bullet journal. Pro be really happy with this one. If you have any questions please feel free to leave me a comment.
