Product Information
Full details
The Wilko B5 Notebook and Pen Set is an ideal stationery companion for students, professionals, and avid note-takers who appreciate a blend of style and practicality in their everyday carry. Its primary benefit is providing a coordinated, ready-to-use writing system that keeps ideas organized with smooth, high-quality paper; however, the bold striped design may be too vibrant for those seeking a strictly minimalist or corporate-neutral aesthetic.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of a B5 notebook?
B5 paper measures 176mm x 250mm, which is larger than A5 but smaller than standard A4.
Can I replace the pen once the ink runs out?
Yes, any standard pen can be used with the notebook; the set is designed for convenience, not proprietary refills.
Is the notebook lined or blank?
The pages are designed for general note-taking; please check the specific inner page layout upon opening for ruling style.
Is this set suitable for left-handed writers?
Yes, the smooth paper surface is generally compatible with both left and right-handed writing styles.
Can I use highlighters in this notebook?
Yes, standard highlighters perform well on these pages, though test for saturation on a corner of a back page if using heavy-ink markers.
Troubleshooting
Pen skipping or inconsistent ink flow
Shake the pen gently or scribble on a scrap piece of paper to prime the ballpoint tip.
Paper corners curling
Keep the notebook stored flat rather than vertically in a crowded bag to maintain structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This set requires no assembly—simply remove the packaging and begin writing. The notebook is compatible with standard ballpoint and gel pens, though highly saturated fountain pen inks should be tested on the back page first to check for potential bleed-through. To care for your set, store the notebook in a dry area to prevent page warping and keep the pen capped when not in use to ensure the ink remains fresh. For longevity, avoid overstuffing the notebook with thick items like photos or stickers, as this can strain the spine.
