Troubleshooting

Pages feel rough or difficult to write on

Ensure you are using a pen or pencil suitable for the paper type. Some papers may have a slight tooth that is better suited for certain writing tools.

Binding feels stiff or doesn't lay flat

Gently open the notebook and press down on the spine while it is open on a flat surface. Repeated use will naturally loosen the binding over time.

Tartan cover shows minor scuffs

Lightly buff the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, use a cloth very slightly dampened with water, and allow to air dry.
