FAQs

What size is the Midi journal?

The Midi size typically measures approximately 5.75 x 8.25 inches (145 x 210 mm), offering a balance between portability and writing space.

Is the paper suitable for drawing?

The paper is primarily designed for writing. While suitable for light sketching with pencils or fine liners, it may not be ideal for heavy media like charcoal or extensive ink washes due to its weight and surface texture.

Can the memento pouch hold many items?

The pouch is designed for a few small, flat items like photos, tickets, or business cards. It is not intended for bulky objects.

How many sheets of paper does it have?

The journal has 144 pages, which is equivalent to 72 sheets.

Are the ribbon bookmarks attached permanently?

Yes, the two ribbon bookmarks are permanently bound into the spine of the journal.

What does 'Lindau Gospels' refer to?

The design is inspired by the Lindau Gospels, an illuminated manuscript from the 9th century, known for its intricate decorative elements.

Is this journal refillable?

No, this is a hardcover journal with a bound spine and is not designed to be refillable.

Troubleshooting

Elastic band becomes loose

This is a common wear-and-tear issue. While not easily repairable, ensure the journal is kept closed to prevent pages from becoming loose. Consider using a separate strap or band if needed.

Pages appear yellowed or discolored

This can happen if stored improperly in direct sunlight or high humidity. Ensure the journal is stored in a dry, shaded environment. The paper is acid-free, so discoloration is usually due to external factors.

Ink bleed-through with fountain pens

The paper is designed for standard writing. For very wet fountain pen inks, consider using a drier nib or a lighter ink, or opt for a different journal more suited to heavy ink use. Alternatively, use a blotter sheet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, acid-free paper that is pleasant to write on.
  • Durable hardcover protects contents and allows for writing on the go.
  • Elegant design inspired by historical art (Lindau Gospels).
  • Helpful features like dual bookmarks and a storage pouch enhance usability.
  • Environmentally friendly construction using recycled and certified materials.

Cons

  • Hardcover design can make it heavier than softcover alternatives.
  • Lined format may not be ideal for pure sketching or freeform visual notes.
  • Ink bleed-through can occur with very wet inks (e.g., fountain pen inks).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This journal requires no setup. Simply open it and begin writing.

Compatibility: Suitable for use with most common writing instruments such as ballpoint pens, gel pens, pencils, and markers. Performance with fountain pens varies; testing with your specific ink is recommended.

Care:

  1. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the hardcover with a slightly damp, soft cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
  3. Page Protection: Keep the journal closed with the elastic band when not in use to protect the pages from dust and damage.
  4. Mending: For minor cover scuffs, a gentle buffing with a dry, soft cloth may help.
