FAQs
What type of paper is used?
The notebook uses 80gsm paper, which is suitable for most writing instruments and offers good resistance to ink bleed-through.
Is the notebook suitable for sketching?
While the lined pages are ideal for writing, sketching is possible. However, for detailed artwork or using wet media like markers or watercolors, a sketchbook with thicker, specialized paper would be more appropriate.
What does 'Chlorinated Paraffin Free' mean?
It means the product does not contain chlorinated paraffins, which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and human health. This indicates a more sustainable and safer material choice.
How durable is the hard cover?
The hard cover is designed to be durable and protect the contents from bending, tearing, and general wear and tear. It provides a sturdy writing surface even without a desk.
Can I replace the elastic band if it breaks?
The elastic band is integrated into the cover. While not designed for user replacement, a skilled craftsperson might be able to replace it if needed.
What are the dimensions of the notebook?
The notebook measures approximately 21.3cm in length, 14.5cm in width, and 1.6cm in height.
Are the pages perforated for easy removal?
The product description does not specify perforated pages. Generally, hard cover notebooks of this type do not feature perforated pages unless explicitly stated.
Troubleshooting
Pages have started to detach from the binding.
Ensure the notebook is not being overstuffed. For minor detachment, professional bookbinding repair might be an option. Avoid forceful opening of the spine.
Elastic fastener has lost its stretch.
Gently stretch the elastic periodically. If significantly stretched, it may need replacement by a craftsperson.
Ink bleeding through pages.
Try using pens with finer tips or different ink formulations. Test a small area first. The 80gsm paper is standard, but heavy ink users might prefer thicker paper.
