FAQ's
Q: Is the blank paper suitable for fountain pens?
A: Yes! The paper is thick & of high quality. Bleed through and ghosting is very unlikely with pens including fountain, and most water based fineliner markers. Not for use with sharpies.

Q: Can I use watercolor paints in my notebook?
A: You can do light washes, if you don't mind some warping. Many of my customers do this & are happy with the results - but this is not meant to replace a watercolor pad.

Q: Do I have to use Forest Nine brand inserts with my notebook cover?
A: No! You can use many brands of notebooks / inserts
