FAQs
What type of ruling do these pads have?
The pads are ruled with 5mm squares (quadrille ruling).
How many pages are in each pad?
Each pad contains 160 pages.
Are the pads suitable for fountain pen ink?
The 75gsm paper is generally suitable for most pens, but very wet fountain pen inks might show some ghosting or bleed-through. It is best suited for ballpoint, gel, and rollerball pens, as well as pencils.
Can these pads be used for drawing?
Yes, the smooth surface and 5mm grid make them suitable for technical drawing, sketching, and graphing.
How many pads are included in a pack?
A pack contains six A4 refill pads.
What are the dimensions of the pads?
Each pad measures 210 x 297mm, which is standard A4 size.
Are the pages perforated for easy tearing?
No, the pages are head-bound and not perforated for tearing out.
Troubleshooting
Pages tearing at the holes when inserted into a binder
Ensure the binder rings are not over-stuffed and try not to force the pages into the rings. Consider using page reinforcements if frequent removal and insertion occur.
Ink bleeding or feathering on the paper
This paper is best suited for standard ballpoint pens, pencils, and gel pens. For very wet inks like fountain pens or markers, consider using a blotter or a different paper type.
Pads arriving with damaged corners or edges
Inspect the packaging upon arrival. If damage is significant, contact the retailer for a replacement, as this indicates an issue during shipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Silvine A4 refill pads require no setup beyond opening the pack. They are ready to be used immediately or inserted into a binder.
Compatibility: These pads are compatible with standard A4 binders and folders that accommodate punched paper. The 5mm grid ruling is a widely accepted standard for technical and academic work.
