Product Information

Full details

This Oxford A5 Office Smart Black notebook is designed for professionals and students seeking a durable and high-quality writing experience for daily use. Its key benefit is the smooth, high-white 90gsm Optik paper that prevents ink bleed-through, allowing for writing on both sides of the page. A potential caveat is that it is a pack of 5, which might be more than an individual user requires at once.

FAQs

What is Optik paper?

Optik paper is a high-quality paper developed by Oxford, designed to be smooth, bright white, and to reduce ink show-through and bleed-through, allowing you to write on both sides of the page without distraction.

Is this notebook suitable for fountain pens?

Yes, the 90gsm Optik paper is generally suitable for most fountain pens, offering a smooth writing experience with minimal feathering or bleed-through compared to lower-quality paper.

What does 'ruled with margin' mean?

It means the pages are lined for writing, and there is an additional vertical line on the left side of each page, creating a margin for annotations, dates, or key points.

How many sheets are in each notebook?

Each notebook contains 90 sheets, which equates to 180 pages when writing on both sides.

Can I buy single notebooks instead of a pack of 5?

This specific product listing is for a pack of 5 notebooks. Please check other Oxford product listings for single notebook options.

What is SCRIBZEE compatibility?

SCRIBZEE is a mobile app that allows you to scan, organize, and share your handwritten notes directly from your notebook using your smartphone. Look for the SCRIBZEE logo on the cover.

What are the dimensions of the notebook?

The notebook is in A5 format, measuring approximately 148 mm in width and 210 mm in height.

Troubleshooting

Ink bleeding through pages

Ensure you are using pens and inks compatible with higher GSM paper. While Optik paper minimizes bleed-through, extremely wet inks might still show.

Spiral binding is bent or damaged

Try to gently straighten the spiral with pliers if slightly bent. For significant damage, pages may become difficult to turn. Handle the notebook with care to prevent future damage.

SCRIBZEE app not recognizing notes

Ensure notes are written clearly within the designated zones on the page. Check that the camera has good lighting and is held steady. Update the SCRIBZEE app to the latest version.
