Notebook Oxford Collegeblock TOUCH B5 dotted, 80 sheets, 90 g/m² Optik Paper+, extra-white, pastel gradient

Oxford Collegeblock TOUCH B5 dotted is a B5-sized notebook with 80 sheets of 90 g/m² Optik Paper+. The dotted layout provides a subtle grid for precise note-taking, sketching and planning while the extra-white, thick pages reduce show-through and improve ink opacity. The pastel gradient cover visually distinguishes the notebook and the robust pages are designed for everyday school, office and creative use with a variety of pens including fountain and gel pens.

Advantages

The 90 g/m² Optik Paper+ offers high opacity and a smooth surface that supports clean lines and minimal bleed-through. The dotted ruling gives structure without imposing a linear layout, making it suitable for diagrams, bullet journaling and freehand sketches. Thick, extra-white sheets improve contrast for easier reading and scanning, and the compact B5 format balances portability with sufficient writing space.

Suitable for

• Students taking notes or organizing subjects
• Office workers creating meeting notes, to-do lists or planning documents
• Designers, illustrators or hobbyists sketching ideas and layouts
• Bullet journaling, habit tracking and personal planning

When it may not be suitable

This notebook may not be ideal for users who require ruled or fully blank pages rather than dotted layouts. It is also not designed for heavy wet media such as watercolor painting; very wet techniques can buckle the paper despite the higher weight.

Key specifications

• Format: B5
• Page count: 80 sheets
• Paper weight: 90 g/m²
• Paper type: Optik Paper+ (extra-white)
• Ruling: dotted
• Cover style: pastel gradient

How to use

Use the dotted grid to keep handwriting straight, align diagrams or measure spacing without the visual dominance of lines. The paper supports a wide range of pens including fountain pens, gel pens and fineliners; allow a few seconds for ink to dry to avoid smudging. For sketching, work with dry media or light marker usage to prevent saturation. The B5 size fits most backpacks and folders for convenient transport.

What to consider before purchase

• Choose dotted ruling if you prefer flexible structure over strict lines or blank pages
• Consider whether 80 sheets meet your expected usage frequency
• If you frequently use very wet inks or markers, assess whether heavier-weight paper is required

Usage recommendations

Pair this notebook with fountain pens of low to medium ink flow or quick-drying gel pens for best results; allow ink to dry briefly. Store flat or upright in a dry environment to maintain page flatness and preserve the pastel gradient cover appearance.
