FAQs

What are the dimensions of the notebook?

How many pages does the notebook have?

It contains 70 leaves, providing approximately 140 usable pages.

What does 'dot grid' mean?

A dot grid is a pattern of small dots spaced evenly apart, typically 5 mm in this case, which serves as a subtle guide for writing, drawing, and layout.

Can I choose the cover color?

No, the cover colour is supplied as a random selection from available options.

Are the pages truly removable?

Yes, the pages are perforated along the binding for easy and clean removal.

Is this notebook suitable for sketching?

Yes, the dot grid provides a useful guide for sketching, especially for technical drawings or layouts. However, consider the paper's thickness if using wet media.

What type of paper is used?

The product information does not specify the exact paper type, but it is suitable for standard writing instruments. Bleed-through may occur with heavy inks or markers.

Troubleshooting

Pages not tearing cleanly

Ensure you are pulling the page firmly and steadily along the perforation line. For stubborn tears, a ruler can sometimes help guide the separation.

Wire binding is bent

Carefully try to straighten the wire using pliers, being gentle to avoid damaging the surrounding pages. If severely damaged, it might affect page turning.

Ink bleeding through pages

Use lighter-weight pens like ballpoints or pencils. If using markers or fountain pens, consider using a blotter sheet underneath or writing on every other page.

Pros and Cons

  • Perforated pages make it easy to detach sheets cleanly.
  • The B5 size is a good compromise between portability and writing space.
  • Lays flat thanks to the wire binding, improving writing experience.
  • Offers a high page count for its size and price point.

Cons

  • The cover colour is random, which may not suit everyone's preference.
  • Wire binding can sometimes snag or get bent.
  • Pages may be too thin for heavy ink or markers, leading to bleed-through.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Compatible with most common writing instruments, including pens, pencils, and fine liners. For markers and heavy inks, testing on a sample page is recommended to assess bleed-through.

Care:

  • When tearing out pages, use a firm, steady pull along the perforation line for a clean separation.
  • Store in a dry place to maintain paper quality.
