What is the ruling of the pages?

The pages are 8mm ruled, suitable for general note-taking.

Does the notebook lay flat when opened?

Yes, the wirebound construction allows the pages to lie flat for easier writing.

What are the dimensions of the notebook?

The notebook is A5 size.

Is this notebook suitable for fountain pens?

The 100gsm paper is of high quality and minimizes bleed-through for most inks. It should perform well with many fountain pens, though extreme ink saturation may still cause some ghosting.

What is the cover made of?

Troubleshooting

Pages tear unevenly at the perforation.

Ensure you are tearing the page away smoothly and steadily, pulling it away from the binding. Sometimes, a slight flick of the wrist can help achieve a cleaner tear.

Ink is bleeding through the pages.

While the 100gsm paper is high quality, very wet inks (like fountain pen inks with high saturation) might still show some ghosting. Consider using pens with quicker-drying ink or fine-tip markers.

Wire binding is bent or damaged.

Handle the notebook with care to avoid bending the wire. If minor bending occurs, you can sometimes gently try to straighten it with pliers, but be cautious not to damage the paper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for frequent use.
  • Professional and discreet black cover design.

Cons

  • Paper weight might be too heavy for some users accustomed to lighter paper.

Compatibility: The Concord Jotta Notebook is compatible with most standard writing instruments, including ballpoint pens, gel pens, rollerball pens, pencils, and highlighters. The 100gsm paper is designed to minimize bleed-through from most inks.

Care:

  1. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain paper quality and prevent cover fading.
  2. Handling: Avoid excessive bending or creasing of the cover and pages to preserve the notebook's structure.
  3. Cleaning: If the cover becomes smudged, wipe gently with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which can damage the cover material and paper.
