    I don't use Hobonichi products, but all I can say is there are tons of smaller planner creators out there that have beautiful TRP planners and seem to be unaffected by these quality issues. If I were you, I'd support these other companies, because they absolutely stand by their products and do their best to make things right. With all the issues this year, sounds like Hobonichi has gotten too big too fast.

    • @ngocngocnotes
      @ngocngocnotes 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I'm actually getting the CreffectivePaper A6 Daily Planner for that reason, and it also has TRP 😊 I did hear through the grapevines that the smaller shops that offer TRP planners are also affected by "bad batches" of TRP. If that's true, I hope it doesn't impact their business too greatly. In any case, I can always whip out my gel pens, haha 😆

      ​@ngocngocnotes I got a Sterling Ink for this year, which is also TRP. However, I have also seen that these smaller shops are having similar quality issues. I haven't tested my paper myself, but I am hoping that my planner is not affected. I will be using it regardless. I just won't be using certain supplies if the paper is from a bad batch.

    I tested my 2025 Hobonichi A5 Graph Notebook, and it works fine. With Fountain pen (though, i use EF) it was okay, then Tombow Fude - tried doing 3 strokes overlapping and seemed to hold up fine too. Tried to use a wet brush pen with 3 strokes too and seem to be good... maybe I got lucky with mine. I think for the other techos, they might be checking the waters still, since i think not all are bad... since i think its not just isolated case for Hobinichi... i saw someone tested out other planners that use TMR S for 2025 and they did perform badly too.

    • @ngocngocnotes
      @ngocngocnotes 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I've heard through the grapevines that the TRP from smaller shops are affected as well! Which is unfortunate and I hope it doesn't impact their business too much. I also exclusively use EF nibs and that tend to work well across the board, haha. Glad to hear that your Graph Notebook is holding up well! 🙌

    My 5 year paper is not even *close* to the three weeks, 2 A6 day frees, A5 cousin, and multiple graph notebooks, etc. I have. I tested all of them like a crazy person because I was curious. the 5-year techo paper is a *completely* different texture. It feels like writing on newspaper. It’s soooo weird.

Newspaper is an apt description to convey the ick you must’ve felt writing on that paper 🤢 This is so crazy! I wonder if it also has to do with inks. Like, maybe certain inks are better. In any case, TRP is just gaslighting us all for shits & giggles lol 🫠

Hobonichi is only at fault for not quality testing the paper before even getting them into books, but ultimately its Sanzen that sent out the bad shipment in the first place as QC starts with them.

  • @tortagialla
    @tortagialla 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I saw this announcement and I thought it meant they knew something is up with the 5-years, I mean, I assume they know the batches of papers being created to make their techos. Each techo has an individual serial number too, so I'm assuming they are tracking something?! I think either way - if you are having paper issues you should contact hobonichi directly. They usually have good customer service, although I suspect now they are being inundated with requests. I think ghosting is completely normal for these techos given the thin paper and there always have been some issues with super juicy inks, but it shouldn't be feathering or bleeding though. BTW, someone told me that the hobonichi paper is 47gsm but the same thickness as the 52gsm tomoe river paper - so it means there is more air pockets in the paper and that is why it can react differently ... I dunno, I'm not a paper expert but it does make sense! Personally, I tested my a6 techo and weeks and both are fine in terms of what I expect for sanzen paper. My midori hibino also uses tomoe river sanzen paper and works as expected - so I guess I lucked out!

    • @ngocngocnotes
      @ngocngocnotes 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Someone brought up the serial number but the form doesn't ask for it 🤔 It certainly would make it easier for them to track things. I've never known the Hobonichi TRP was 47gsm until days ago! I just thought it felt different because it's Hobononichi, ahaha. And you're right, the air pockets thing would definitely make sense! I already knew I was meh about TRP Sanzen and would put up with it without much issue. And if anything, I can always use my gel pens, haha. I hope they get this resolved by next year!

    You are soo hilarious 😍 I work in Mental Health and have had a long stressful day, with my own health challenges, I did not feel like laughing or smiling, but this video has just made my whole year. I’m not a stand-up-comedy follower, but if you decide to start a channel with your own material - you can count on me to follow! - definitely something else you could as a side-huddle - successfully 🎉 I really appreciate you sharing the “butt cover” I call it the denim cover but(t) I prefer your name for it. I just missed out on the last denim cover - I looove denim - 👖👖 always have, so I really want to get this cover too, I can’t decide if I want A6 or A5 as I used both size books for different things - I don’t want to get the same cover in two sizes. I had the same dilemma with The Tone of Illuminated Flowers cover and went with A6. Your Search and collect cover is lovely too - I too am not a bee 🐝 person - really appreciate them and all they do for us …. I’m scared of everything - yep! I’m THAT person - jumping at my own shadows!! 🙄 anyway I know someone suggested putting the who pen in the loop… I would so totally put several fountain pens in one loop. I have the A5 Laurent Garigue Twinkle Tweed (I think only the A6 is available this year), I leave it open with several fountain pens clipped into the loops as well as a couple of Sailor and Tombow brush pens hanging on for dear life!! Your Fountain pen collection (thank you for sharing some of them) is mouthwatering 🤤 (slurp, slurp - excuse my drooling). Love your interior decorating skills on the Cafe au Lait & the Butt covers too - I will definitely bling mine with patches and gem stone stickers when I get mine 🤤☕️🎊🫶🏽 Some fantastic buys thanks so much for sharing. This is the end of my long love letter to you. Looking forward to your next video. Varsha, London.

    Ok so I had to subscribe. I love the way your brain thinks. I laughed out loud when you mentioned the blue Alettone cover was Paddington’s raincoat - I totally could visualise this as I would think that too. I went for the Yumi Kitagishi as the Paddington sold out quickly and I thought about the A6 Paddington but decided to go cute with Yumi’s full range except the post-it tabs - sounds silly that I spent so much and wanted to save a few ££ on the posits!!

I’m sure. I put in one order… for myself, but just like last year I am fighting with myself to put in another (not at fisticuffs yet!). I fluff up my notebooks so I don’t know if mine would still fit after adding collage elements, stickers and I too love fountain pens… literally sitting her drooling over your gold vanishing point - such a beautiful combo with the cafe cover - now I want both but I love my pens like my babies so I couldn’t see myself getting cross with the zipper for scraping my “Precious” (pen).

      Hahaha, thank you so much for watching and I'm so glad you were entertained! 😆🫶 I definitely think you might end up fighting with the zip cover as your journal grow if you tend to include a lot of ephemera. But at least when it's still "flat," it can sit in the pretty Cafe Au Lait cover 🤭

    • @ngocngocnotes
      @ngocngocnotes 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The interior of my Cafe Au Lait cover smells more plastic-y than leather 🤔 I wonder if it's because the exterior fabric overwhelms the interior leather smell, or if maybe the hot weather transferred the smell of the plastic bag to the cover. In any case, I don't notice any smell it during normal usage. And I'm sure it'll fade with time 😊
