Forgive the bumping of the old thread, but I have just learned from a blog comment from someone else in the UK that Staples don't intend to release the punch over here at all :gaah: I love the arc system but without the punch it's so limited! Does anyone know any UK alternatives? Or maybe someone we can protest to?

Unfortunately no, as far as I am aware Levenger isn't sold anywhere in the UK, and even if it was, our Arcs are, I believe, a different size to yours (A4 and A5), so I'm guessing it wouldn't be right anyway?

Coronado - thatnks for the pictures of your cookbook (and therefore the green leather...)

 

Damn, I'm jealous. The UK doesn't have much of a section and I would kill for that green leather one! It's lovely.

I like to collect the cheap, cheerful and colourful!

Not true! I emailed Staples about this last week or so. They told me that they were planning on introducing the punch later on this year but couldn't give me a date.

 

(Also, sorry for the double post)

Just a page of grid dots was requested for the junior pages by someone who liked the Chronodex dotted pages.

 

So here it is!

 

dot grid.pdf

 

As always, half letter, print both sides. Slight extra margin for the punch on one side.

Thanks for doing this! I appreciate it. I'm sure others like it as well.

Danni2989, thank you, that's great news! I really hope they do actually release it here because the system is such a good one, and we don't even have the alternatives such as Levenger over here, so I would guess they'll have a good market. And their refill paper is superb, so I can't imagine they'll lose too many sales for that either, especially considering how much cheaper it is than filofax refills or similar.

 

And I too am madly jealous of that lime-green cover!

I'm going to keep emailing them every month or so to double check. I suggest doing the same - maybe the more people email, the faster they'll get off of their butts.

Still trying to talk myself into one of these. I think I may get it to replace my calendar/ planner, but not sure what else I would use it for. What are you guys using yours for?

 

We have also found it quite easy to remove a sheet of notes, scan it, e-mail it, then re-insert back into the notebook. Saves a lot of time previously spent transcribing meeting notes to e-mail (although some of us have better handwriting than others).

 

Overall, it's a good business-use system.

 

Hi,

re: handwriting issues and scanning, Evernote is a great free program I've used that has great handwriting recognition and converts to searchable PDF.

 

You can either scan the page or (with the Evernote mobile version)take a picture of the page with a smartphone. (And my handwriting is not pretty :) ) I have had good experiences using either procedure. From what I understand it works with a lot of scanners (scanning directly into the program). You can also share notebooks or notes digitally with others.

 

I've found it helpful in retrieving information this way.

Peace,

FYI Arc notebooks are on sale for 25% off at Staples this week. Notebooks only (not "parts"). Staples is giving 5% back in Rewards on almost everything now (except gift cards), also. Last week was a better sale on Arc stuff but I didn't see it until midweek and the FPN site was down( so I couldn't post).

The paper that comes standard with ARC is a nice heavy weight.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

The best part of having the punch is being able to use any and all paper and other notebook stuff.

 

I had a plastic/vinyl three hole punched piece that has pockets to hold paper & stuff. Even though it is already punched, I punched it again with the Arc punch. Everything fits well and is secure. I can also punch colored paper and anything that would ordinatily fit into a 3-ring binder works as well.

 

If you want, you can also make you own inserts like the one you buy with the small colored pointed "post-it" thingies. Stick them on a piece of card stock, punch it and insert it into the "binder" You could make a whole page of different "post-it" stickers and really have some fun.

“Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today, because if you do it today and like it, you can do again tomorrow!”

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
