Troubleshooting
Pages tear easily at the holes
Ensure the binder rings are not overstuffed and that pages are inserted carefully. Consider using reinforced binder strips if frequent page turning causes wear.
Ink bleeds through the paper
This pad uses 75gsm paper, which is standard. For very wet inks like fountain pens or markers, consider using a heavier weight paper or a blotting sheet.
Paper does not fit binder
Verify that you are using an A5 sized binder and that the binder's punching mechanism is compatible with standard two-hole punched paper. This pad is not suitable for binders with different hole configurations.
