FAQs

What is the size of this refill paper?

This refill paper is A5 size, measuring 148 x 210mm (approximately 5.8 x 8.3 inches).

How many sheets are included in one pack?

Each pack contains 60 sheets of dot-grid paper.

Is this paper ruled, blank, or grid?

This is dot-grid paper, offering subtle guidance with small dots rather than solid lines.

Can I use this paper in any A5 binder?

No, this paper is specifically pre-punched for Filofax A5 organisers and Filofax A5 Clipbooks. Other A5 binders may have a different ring mechanism or punch hole configuration.

What are the colours of the pastel paper?

The pack includes an assortment of 6 different pastel colour shades.

Is this paper suitable for use with fountain pens?

Yes, it is considered high-quality paper and is generally suitable for most fountain pens. However, very wet inks or broad nibs might show through slightly.

What are the benefits of dot-grid paper?

Dot-grid paper offers a versatile format, providing subtle guidance for neat writing while also being excellent for drawing, sketching, creating custom layouts, and bullet journaling without the visual interference of traditional lines or grids.

Troubleshooting

Paper does not fit my A5 binder.

This paper is specifically pre-punched for Filofax A5 organisers and A5 Clipbooks. Other A5 binders, even if they are A5 size, may have a different punch pattern and will not be compatible. Please verify your organiser is a Filofax A5 model.

Ink bleeds through the paper or feathers significantly.

While this is high-quality paper, certain very wet fountain pen inks, alcohol markers, or heavily applied inks can still show through or feather. Try using a different pen, a finer nib, or a less saturated ink type. Allow ink to dry completely before closing the organiser.

Pages are tearing easily around the punch holes.

Ensure your Filofax organiser is not overfilled. Overfilling can put excessive stress on the punch holes. Distribute pages evenly across the rings and turn pages gently. Consider archiving older sections to reduce bulk.

The pastel colours appear faded or dull over time.

Exposure to direct sunlight or prolonged bright artificial light can cause colours to fade. Store your unused paper and filled organiser away from direct light sources when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Aesthetic appeal of assorted pastel colours for a more engaging planner or notebook.
  • Facilitates effective colour-coding for improved organization and quick reference.
  • Dot-grid layout offers versatile use for writing, sketching, bullet journaling, and creating custom layouts.
  • Pre-punched design ensures immediate usability with Filofax A5 organisers and Clipbooks.
  • High-quality paper generally provides a pleasant writing surface and good ink performance.

Cons

  • Exclusively designed for Filofax A5 systems, limiting compatibility with other A5 binders.
  • The dot-grid format may not be preferred by users who strictly use ruled, blank, or graph paper.
  • 60 sheets might require frequent replenishment for very heavy users or extensive projects.
  • Assorted colours mean specific shade preference might not always be evenly distributed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Filofax A5 Dotgrid Refill Paper is straightforward:

  1. Open the rings of your Filofax A5 organiser or A5 Clipbook.
  2. Carefully align the pre-punched holes of the refill sheets with the rings.
  3. Gently press the sheets onto the rings until they are securely in place.
  4. Close the rings to secure the paper.

Compatibility

This refill paper is specifically designed for Filofax A5 organisers and Filofax A5 Clipbooks. The punch pattern and paper size (148 x 210mm) are tailored to these systems. It will not be compatible with other brands of A5 binders or Filofax organisers of different sizes (e.g., Personal, Pocket, Deskfax) due to varying punch configurations.

Care

To ensure the longevity and quality of your refill paper:

  • Storage: Store unused paper in a dry, room-temperature environment, away from direct sunlight or excessive humidity, to prevent warping, fading, or moisture damage.
  • Handling: Turn pages gently within your organiser to avoid tearing the paper around the punch holes, especially if your organiser is heavily filled.
  • Protection: Keep your Filofax organiser closed when not in use to protect the paper from dust and accidental spills.
