This durable notebook features a classic hard cover and high-quality 70gsm acid-free paper, providing an exceptional writing experience that stands the test of time. While it offers premium longevity and iconic style, users should note that the 70gsm paper weight may lead to minor ghosting when using heavy fountain pens or bold markers.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the paper fountain pen friendly?

The 70gsm paper is better suited for ballpoint, gel, and rollerball pens. While some fine fountain pens may work, heavier ink flow may cause ghosting.

Does this notebook come with lined or blank pages?

This specific 892710 model features plain, unlined pages ideal for sketching and flexible note-taking.

Can I remove pages from the notebook?

The notebook is thread-bound for durability, so tearing out pages may compromise the structural integrity of the binding.

What is the physical size of the notebook?

The notebook measures 190mm x 250mm (approximately 7.5 x 9.8 inches).

What is the purpose of the expandable pocket?

The inner pocket is designed for storing small, loose items such as business cards, receipts, or event tickets safely.

Is the cover waterproof?

The cover is water-resistant, protecting contents from minor splashes, but it should not be submerged or exposed to heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Ribbon bookmark is fraying at the end

Carefully singe the very tip of the ribbon with a flame to seal the threads or apply a tiny drop of clear fabric glue.

Elastic closure has lost some tension

Avoid overstretching the band by stuffing the notebook with too many bulky items; ensure it is stored flat to allow the elastic to rest.

Ghosting from ink on the reverse side

Use ballpoint or gel pens instead of heavy fountain pens, or use every other page if ink bleed-through is a primary concern.

Pros and Cons

  • Iconic, professional aesthetic suitable for any setting
  • Internal pocket adds extra utility for loose papers
  • Compact and lightweight enough for daily carry
  • High-quality paper that works well with most standard pens

  • Limited page count options compared to spiral-bound journals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your Moleskine, start by filling out the 'In case of loss' details on the front flyleaf. The notebook requires no specific setup; it is ready to use immediately. For care, keep the notebook away from direct, prolonged sunlight to maintain the integrity of the cover material and store it in a dry environment. If you frequently use fountain pens, test your ink on a rear page first to gauge the level of bleed-through or ghosting, as the 70gsm paper is optimized for ballpoint, gel, and rollerball pens. If the covers become dusty, a simple wipe with a slightly damp, soft cloth is sufficient to clean the surface.
