Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pages perforated for easy removal?

No, these books are staple-bound and intended to hold pages securely as a permanent record.

Can I use fountain pens on this paper?

Yes, the 80gsm Optik Paper is specifically designed to handle wet inks without bleeding or feathering.

What is the total number of pages per book?

Each exercise book contains 80 pages.

Are these books acid-free?

The Optik Paper is designed for high-quality note-taking, but for long-term archival preservation beyond a few years, specialized archival paper is recommended.

Is the cover waterproof?

The cover is water-resistant due to the gloss varnish finish, allowing you to wipe off liquid spills, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged.

Troubleshooting

Cover showing minor scratches

The gloss varnish is a protective layer designed to take surface wear; avoid using abrasive materials when cleaning the cover.

Staples feeling loose

Avoid over-filling the notebook with extra loose papers, which puts unnecessary tension on the spine staples.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Storage: Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent paper warping.
  2. Handling: When carrying in a backpack, place the notebook against a flat surface or inside a protective sleeve to avoid corner creasing.
