FAQs

What is the main purpose of the detachable margin?

The detachable margin is designed for quick notes, calculations, to-do lists, or temporary information that you may not need to keep with your main notes. It allows you to maintain a clean and focused primary page.

What type of paper is used?

The notebook features Clairefontaine White Velvet Vellum 90 g/m² paper, known for its exceptional smoothness, opacity, and strength, suitable for various writing instruments.

Is the dot grid suitable for drawing?

Yes, the finely printed dots spaced 5 mm apart are ideal for sketching, drawing, creating diagrams, or precise layout planning.

What are the dimensions of the notebook?

This specific model is B5 landscape, measuring 25x19 cm.

How many pages does the notebook contain?

The notebook contains 120 detachable pages.

Is the notebook environmentally friendly?

Can I replace the elastic closure if it breaks?

The elastic closure is integrated and not designed for replacement. However, it is generally durable with proper care.

Troubleshooting

Pages not detaching cleanly

Ensure you are pulling the page along the micro-perforation line. If resistant, a gentle, steady pull should suffice. Avoid ripping the page.

Ink bleeding or ghosting

While the 90 g/m² paper is high quality, extremely wet inks or markers may still show through slightly. Test your preferred writing instruments on a small section first. Consider using the reverse side of the page for less critical notes.

Spiral binding snagging

Keep the notebook away from rough surfaces. If a coil becomes slightly bent, try to gently straighten it with your fingers. Ensure pages are fed through the spiral smoothly when turning.

Elastic closure becoming loose

Avoid overstretching the elastic. If it loosens over time, a gentle stretch might restore some tension, but extreme stretching will permanently affect its elasticity.
