Troubleshooting

Ink bleeding through pages

The 80gsm paper is designed to minimize bleed-through for most pens. If you experience significant bleed-through, consider using pens with less ink saturation or switching to the other side of the page for denser writing.

Ribbon marker fraying

Gently trim any frayed ends with scissors. Avoid excessive pulling or snagging of the ribbon.

Cover material becoming scuffed

Wipe gently with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or excessive rubbing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and attractive tartan design.
  • Good quality paper that handles ink well.
  • Versatile page layout for different uses (writing and sketching).
  • Durable cloth binding.
  • Includes a practical ribbon marker.

Cons

  • Mixed page layout may not be ideal for users who prefer consistently ruled or plain pages.
  • Cream paper might not be preferred by those who favor bright white paper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

Compatibility: The paper is compatible with most common writing instruments, including ballpoint pens, rollerball pens, gel pens, and pencils. While the 80gsm paper minimizes bleed-through, the use of heavily saturated inks (like some fountain pen inks) might show through to a minor extent on the reverse side of the page.

Care:

  • Keep the notebook away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to preserve the cover and paper quality.
  • Avoid bending the cover sharply, as this can crease the tartan cloth.
  • To clean the cover, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe gently. Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals.
  • Store flat or upright to maintain the notebook's shape.
