FAQs
Is the paper in this notebook fountain pen friendly?
It is suitable for dry-writing fountain pens, but due to the 80gsm weight, you may experience some ghosting if using very wet inks.
What does FSC-certified mean?
It means the paper has been harvested in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.
Can I lay the notebook flat?
Yes, the singer-sewn spine design allows for a fairly flat writing surface, making it easier to write near the center margin.
Are the pages perforated?
No, this notebook features a traditional stitched spine, so pages are not designed to be torn out.
Is the cover waterproof?
No, the manila card cover is made from recycled paper and should be kept away from water and liquids to avoid staining or warping.
Troubleshooting
Ink ghosting or bleeding on pages
Use ballpoint pens, pencils, or fine-tipped gel pens rather than heavy-flow fountain pens or markers.
Cover curling over time
Store the notebook under a heavier item or book for several hours to flatten the manila card fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This notebook is ready for immediate use out of the packaging with no setup required. To maintain the condition of your notebook, store it in a dry environment to prevent the recycled manila card cover from warping. Because the spine is stitched with natural cotton fibre, avoid excessive pulling or bending of the notebook beyond 180 degrees to preserve the integrity of the binding over time. If you carry the notebook in a bag, keep it away from sharp objects that might scuff the soft card cover or damage the gold foil branding.
