FAQ’s
Can I use a fountain pen or watercolours in it?
Absolutely - The all cotton paper in these is so strong that it’s totally suitable for watercolour and if you go for a mixed book, the recycled cartridge paper is pretty strong too. l use fountain paper on this paper every day. it doesn’t feather or bleed. you can use a wide range of artist media too, including marker and brush pens, charcoal, pencil and even a light wash of watercolour
How long should the personalised text be?
Your notebook will be typed on a vintage typewriter which means that I can’t change the font size.
These books look best with one or two words and I love to space the letters out for a modern contemporary look - out but you can fit a couple of lines on if you wish [spacing between the characters will be standard if you have more than a couple of words. ]
Character limit for spaced out letters is 10 characters for A6 books and 15 characters for A5
If you’re happy to have regular spacing then you can fit up to 56 characters on the A6 and 80 on the A5
Please do message me if you have any questions.
