Our Notebook Features Explained

We use only FSC certified paper, paper made strictly from responsible sources and often mixed with recycled paper. We are really obsessive about getting the most responsible paper source we can get, always 100% FSC certified.

Highest quality premium hardcovers and soft covers from Italy, Holland, Germany or other European markets. Ranging from classic to unique textures and designs in various colors and styles. Durable, with rounded corners and matching color extra long bookmark ribbon.

Premium Italian Fedrigoni paper 80gsm (80gr./m2). 192 or 224 pages have no “show-through” or “ghosting” with most pens.

Fountain pen optimized paper. Perfectly smooth and absorbable doesn't leave paper residue on the nib's tip and in between the nib’s tines.

Paper optimized to dry the ink on the surface layer and prevent “feathering”, without leaving rigid “spiky” lines.

The paper allows the ink to dry fast within 3-7 seconds depending on ink, simply drying as you write. This will ensure you don’t accidentally smudge the writing with your hand or when you turn the page.

Soft beige/cream ivory color paper, doesn't reflect light brightly as the white paper which can hurt the eyes and make the writing difficult to see in a bright daylight or under a strong desk light. Soft beige paper also produces great contrast with most inks.

Acid Free paper ensures no chemical reaction with the air, moisture or the ink. Written content is safe for centuries and the paper stays intact by the ravages of time.

The thread bound spine allows the notebook to stay flat. In addition to the thread we also glue the spine with a special paper slip at the back. This doubles the durability. Of course you will need to “break” the notebook once you start using it, and it will stay more flatter the more you use it.

Some of our models feature a unique colored paper block edge in the same color as the cover or the elastic, giving the notebook a special unique look. This is a very difficult and time consuming procedure and it can only be done by a professional painter by hand, each time to only a small batch of notebooks. In addition to the color paper edge (Texas and Prototypes), models Air and Prototypes feature a unique cover/elastic color matching first and last page!. On the first and last colored pages, an opposite-complementary color pens will produce amazing looking writing

The last 8 sheets are perforated, perfect for passing a note without tearing the notebook pages.

On the inside of the back cover there’s the expandable folder pocket made with very thick paper. It’s great for storing notes, cards, receipts or anything else it can fit.

We use only the highest strength and highest quality Italian elastics with 10 or 20 strings. Our elastics won’t loosen over time as on many other notebooks.

High-strength rivet integrated pen loop holder, will not loosen over time and will fit and securely hold any pen. Seamlessly integrated with the notebook, the soft and thick elastic loop ensures the loop won't scratch or damage the pen. Unlike other pens loops, our factory installed pen loops will not loosen over time and will absorb any awkward tensions and stress the pen might cause.

Each notebook is assembled, finished, inspected and packed by hand, under controlled humidity and temperature, just the right conditions for working with paper.

A set of unique multi-functional label stickers come with each notebook. They can be used for the front of the cover or even the spine. Great for labeling keeping track of your subjects, for archiving or even when the notebook is placed on a shelf.
