Troubleshooting
Pages are difficult to turn
Ensure the notebook is lying flat or folded back fully. Do not force the pages if they feel stuck, as this could damage the wire binding.
Ink appears to bleed through the paper
While the 70gsm paper minimizes bleed-through, some highly saturated inks (like certain markers or fountain pen inks) may show slightly on the reverse side. This is normal for paper of this weight and type. Ensure you are using standard pens or pencils for optimal results.
Hardback cover feels stiff
The hardback cover is designed for durability. It will become more flexible with regular use. Gently bending it back on itself can help loosen it initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This notebook requires no setup. It is ready for immediate use upon purchase.
Compatibility: The notebook is compatible with most standard writing instruments, including ballpoint pens, gel pens, rollerball pens, and pencils. For best results with fountain pens or markers, test on a small area first to check for ink bleed-through, though the 70gsm paper is designed to minimize this.
Care:
- Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the cover and paper quality.
- Cleaning: Wipe the hardback cover with a slightly damp cloth if it becomes dirty. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, as this can damage the cover material and ink.
- Binding: To maintain the integrity of the twin-wire binding, avoid forcing the pages beyond their natural lay-flat or fold-back position.
