Paper for Franklin Covey Classic Binder

[arvadajames]

I have recently purchased a Franklin Covey Binder in the Classic size along with some Franklin Covey paper. The paper is horrible with anything but my finest point pen. Does anyone have any recommendations for lined note paper that would fit this binder? Paper size is 5.5 x 8.5 and has seven holes. Thanks,

Best option is to purchase the 7 hole punch, decent paper (HP 32# comes to mind), and a paper cutter. There are applications online to print your own planner www.diyplanner.com (not affiliated) has lots of info regarding that. They might even have a bargain 7 hole punch source.

I've been using the Franklin Covey Monticello paper with very good results. It seems to be far more FP friendly than their generic stuff. Which design, if any, have you been using?

 

I also bought the hole punch, but its pretty poor quality for what it costs. Of course, my electric hole punch has probably spoiled me for the manual ones.

Take a look on Daytimer's web site for their desk size paper. It meets your specifications. Daytimer's ID Number is 20581.

Interesting - I've just gone back to a paper planner for some of my activities (calendar remains electronic due to group scheduling, but time tracking and to/dos, as well as notes, are back to paper for me) and I bought the classic Franklin Covey paper and have found it to be very FP friendly. No feathering, quick drying, etc... but I do notice it makes my fines look quite fine, etc... in other words it does not wick much ink away so a dry writer will look even dryer on it. I have the 2 page per day Original Classic filler.

 

I've found DayTimer paper to be equally good, FWIW so it is for me really a matter of format preference.

The seven hole punch is the way to go! Love it! There are probably several places to get one. FC sells one and works great!

I've had good luck with the FC Monticello paper too.....

I have been using the Franklin Planner for years (over a decade). Being a recent FP enthusiast I was concerned how a FP would work on its paper. I use the Monticito Weekly Compact and there are no issues with any of the pens I use. I also use thier yellow lined sheets and graph paper. I use a Parker 21, Rotring Core, a Duke and a HERO (Noodler and Quink) so far no bleeding or smearing (and I'm lefthanded).
