Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a physical stationery item, no complex setup is required. To maintain the integrity of the Kinloch Anderson tartan fabric, keep the notebook away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent color fading. If the cover encounters liquid, dab it gently with a dry cloth immediately rather than rubbing it, which could fray the fabric fibers.
Regarding compatibility, the notebook works best with standard ballpoint, rollerball, or pencil sets. For those using fountain pens, it is recommended to test the paper with your specific ink on the last page to ensure desired flow and drying time. Keep the notebook stored flat when not in use to ensure the binding stays aligned over the life of the product.
