Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the paper bleed if I use a fountain pen?

The high-quality Optik paper is designed to be fountain-pen friendly and minimizes ink bleed-through.

Can I use this with any binder?

The pages feature 4-hole punching, which is compatible with most European-standard 4-ring binders.

Is the Scribzee app free to use?

Yes, the Scribzee app is free to download and use for scanning your Oxford notebooks.

How many pages are in each notebook?

Each notebook contains 160 pages of high-quality ruled paper.

What is the difference between A4 and A4+?

A4+ (230 x 297mm) provides a slightly larger page size, ensuring your notes remain protected even when filed in ring binders or lever arch files.

Can I remove pages without damaging the binding?

Yes, the pages are micro-perforated so they can be removed neatly without disturbing the wire binding.

Troubleshooting

Digital scan is blurry or distorted

Ensure the camera lens is clean and the notebook page is flat; hold the phone steady and align the page markers within the app frame.

Pages are tearing unevenly

Ensure you are pulling the page firmly against the perforated edge rather than yanking it rapidly at an angle.

App does not recognize page markers

Check that the lighting is sufficient and that the four corner markers are clearly visible within the camera viewfinder.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, bleed-resistant paper
  • Digital scanning capabilities via Scribzee
  • Lay-flat wire binding for ease of use
  • Easy page removal with clean perforation
  • Sturdy backboard ideal for writing on the go

Cons

  • Soft cover is less durable than hardbound alternatives
  • Not intended for archival-grade long-term storage
  • Requires app installation to unlock digital features

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use the digital features, download the Scribzee application on your smartphone and create an account. When scanning, ensure you are in a well-lit area to allow the app to capture the page markers accurately. For physical care, keep the notebook in a dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the paper quality. While the matte cover is scratch-resistant, avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly on top of the notebook to prevent the wire binding from becoming deformed. If filing pages into a binder, remove them slowly along the perforation line to avoid tearing the 4-hole punched section.
