FPN Notepads - size

[KCat]

Originally we only proposed the smaller pads. But some may prefer letter size. Hence this poll.

 

We can have letter size pads available provided there is enough interest. They will be more expensive than the smaller pads obviously.

 

I believe all pads are 50 sheets per.

[Cam]

Either or both for me too!

[Keith with a capital K]

I'd prefer both and think we could alter the poll to reflect that choice as I think it will be mighty popular.

[Stompy]

If I'm going to have them sent to the UK, I'd like both sizes as well.

[KCat]

okay - i edited the poll. But if I need to restart let me know. Or just make sure you add your .02 within the thread.

 

thanks everyone.

[Maja]

Both sizes because sometimes you want to write just a note (and a big sheet is too big), and other times you might want to write a letter (and a smaller sheet just won't do)...Just my 2 cents...I have tried Jimmy Tom's notepads and they are very nice

[Leslie J.]

Both sizes.

[feff]

I would like both sizes.

Let's not forget that some of us voted before the "both" option was there. I'd like both, but voted for the smaller one.

Maybe for next time we could do blotter paper with the FPN on there, or we can do it this time along with the notepads. What do you think

[TheNobleSavage]

You know what? Maybe I should have my wife draw up something. She is a really good artist that does a lot of drawings such as scratch art and charcoal. Ill ask her tonight and see what she can come up with. I think plain text would be too boring and generic. If we are going to do this then we need to do it right!!

I agree with Maja--each pad size has a different purpose. I think that I could find a use for either or both. Great idea--pursue it with vigor! LMB

Thanks to everyone who has helped on this. We will make it happen.

Thanks NS (hope you don't mind me shortening that) for the offer. If she's interested than FPN would appreciate her ideas/input very much.

 

I do think we need to distinguish ourselves with a graphic.

[KCat]

Oh you troublemaker you!

 

Well - I know it's physically possible. But it is more difficult and would add cost to the product. I will talk to JT about it. And let you know if it is feasible for him and how much it would impact the price.

[John]

I've always thought the best answer to that problem was a sheet of lined paper behind the one you are writing on. Lots of stationery suppliers include one lined sheet in a pad for just that purpose.

[Gerry]

Using lined paper behind the sheet being written on would probably not be very suitable considering the paper's weight. I believe the paper in question is at least 24# if not 28# paper, thus not very transparent.

[John]

What's that in g/m^2?

[John]

OK apparently 24# is 90g/m^2 which is what my Clairefontaine pads are. They work just fine with a heavily ruled sheet behind them.

[KCat]

I have used heavy ruling guides under Jimmy's notepaper - but it requires good lighting to do so as this is quite opaque paper.

[Guest Denis Richard]

It seems like both sizes are appealing.
