FAQs

What is the exact size of the notebook?

The notebook measures approximately 140 x 210mm, which is a standard B5 size.

Can I choose the color of the notebook?

No, the notebook is available in assorted colors and one random color is supplied with each purchase.

Is the PU leather cover truly waterproof?

The PU leather is waterproof, meaning it can withstand light splashes or spills. It is not designed to be submerged in water.

How many pages does the notebook contain?

The notebook contains 192 ruled pages.

Does the notebook lay flat when open?

Due to the sewn binding, the notebook should lay relatively flat, especially after some use. It may require a slight initial press to stay fully open on a flat surface.

What kind of pens work best with this paper?

Most standard pens like ballpoint pens, pencils, and gel pens work well. For very wet inks, testing a small area first is recommended to check for bleed-through.

Is this notebook suitable for sketching?

While primarily designed for writing, its ruled pages might not be ideal for detailed sketching. However, it can be used for quick doodles or diagrams.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic closure feels weak

Ensure there are no obstructions between the cover and the back of the notebook. Avoid storing near other magnetic objects.

Pages have faint lines from the ruling

This is normal for ruled paper. For clearer writing, ensure your pen ink is not too saturated.

PU leather cover is creased

Gently press the creased area flat. If the crease is deep, place a thin cloth over it and apply light, even pressure with a warm (not hot) iron for a few seconds. Allow to cool completely.

Ribbon bookmark has frayed ends

Carefully trim any frayed ends with sharp scissors. A tiny amount of fray-check or clear nail polish can prevent further fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This notebook requires no setup. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for use with most common writing instruments such as ballpoint pens, gel pens, pencils, and markers. Compatibility with heavy ink usage may vary depending on the pen type to prevent bleed-through.

Care:

  2. Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain the integrity of the cover and pages.
