FAQs

What type of paper is used in the HAY Colour Notebook?

The notebook uses extra-thick, FSC-certified paper with a lined ruling.

Is the paper suitable for fountain pens?

The paper is thick and generally good for most pens. However, very wet fountain pen inks might show some bleed-through. It is best suited for ballpoint, gel, or rollerball pens.

How do I clean the notebook cover?

You can clean the glossy cover by gently wiping it with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What does 'FSC-certified' mean?

FSC-certified paper comes from forests that are managed responsibly, ensuring environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the HAY Colour Notebook is available in a range of colors, including Ocean Blue, Chalk White, Lavender, Soft Pink, and Vibrant Blue, in addition to this Black variant.

What are the dimensions of the notebook?

The product information does not specify exact dimensions, but it is designed as a standard-sized notebook suitable for everyday carrying and writing.

Can I use markers in this notebook?

Markers, especially alcohol-based ones, are likely to bleed through the paper. It is recommended for pens and pencils.

Troubleshooting

Ink bleeding through pages

Ensure you are using pens with standard ink flow. If using fountain pens, try inks known for faster drying times or consider using a different notebook for those specific inks.

Cover appears smudged or marked

Gently wipe the glossy cover with a clean, dry, soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.

Pages feel stiff or difficult to turn

This is normal for thicker paper. Gently crease the spine area to help pages lie flatter and turn more easily with use.
