Test fountain pens before regular use
The Hobonichi Techo's Tomoe River paper is designed to prevent bleed-through, but some fountain pens and water-based ink pens are not compatible with this paper. When switching to a new pen, we recommend testing the pen somewhere in the book, such as the back memo pages, to see if the ink bleeds through or takes an especially long time to dry.
Silk print may smell like ink at first
The white line is screen printed, so there's a chance the cover will still smell of ink when you first receive it. If the smell bothers you, keep it out in a well-ventilated area and the smell will dissipate over time.
Hold down book lightly to keep open
Due to the materials used in the cover, the book will need to be slightly held down while writing.
Avoid using with Clear Cover
This cover uses thicker materials than usual, so it may not fit. Forcing it into a Clear Cover may damage the product.
Imprinted year numbers may peel
The numbers of the year are stamped onto the cover in metallic or other colored leaf, so strong rubbing or everyday use may cause the numbers to peel off.
Avoid storing in hot and humid places
Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
