Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no 'setup' required for this notebook; it is ready to use immediately upon unboxing. Regarding compatibility, the notebook works best with pens that have a fine or medium point. Fountain pen users should test their ink on a small corner of the back page, as paper absorption varies by ink weight.

To ensure the longevity of your Blue Loch notebook:

  • Storage: Keep away from damp environments to prevent moisture absorption in the cloth cover.
  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the cloth cover with a dry, lint-free cloth if dust accumulates. Do not use chemical cleaners or water, as these can alter the texture or appearance of the tartan fabric.
  • Handling: Avoid over-stretching the spine when writing to keep the pages securely bound.
