The A6 Dotted Paper Notebook is sized for maximum portability, making it a functional choice for "every day carry" (EDC) in a pocket or small bag. The matte cover finish provides a high friction coefficient, which helps the notebook stay in place on a desk or countertop while you write. The 5mm dot grid is registration-calibrated for consistency, allowing for precise DIY planning and sketching in a compact format.
The internal paper is an uncoated bond stock. While it feels substantial for daily notes, tests show that wet inks, such as those from fountain pens or heavy markers, are likely to bleed through to the other side. Using a 0.5mm gel pen or a standard ballpoint is recommended to keep the reverse side of the page usable. The thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive binding provides a rigid structure but does not naturally lay 180 degrees flat. To prevent the softcover corners from bending over time, using a protective sleeve is a practical way to maintain the notebook's appearance.
The A6 size is specifically optimized to fit into most pockets, making it ideal for on-the-go grocery lists or quick reminders.
For a refillable system that allows you to swap out notebooks while keeping a durable outer cover, you might consider the Voyager Journal Refills.
