Troubleshooting
Pages falling out
This notebook features sewn binding for durability. If pages are falling out, it likely indicates significant damage from rough handling or excessive force. Inspect the binding for any visible tears. For minor issues, careful handling may suffice. For severe damage, consider replacing the notebook.
Ink bleeding through pages
The 75gsm paper is suitable for most pens. If you experience significant bleed-through, try using a pen with a finer tip or a lower ink flow. Avoid using heavily saturated fountain pen inks or markers.
Elastic strap losing elasticity
The elastic strap may naturally lose elasticity over time with frequent stretching. To prolong its life, avoid overstretching it unnecessarily. If the strap becomes too loose to hold the notebook securely closed, it may need to be replaced by a professional or the notebook may need to be retired.
