Maintaining your workbook
Maintaining your workbook
To ensure you enjoy your fill-in book for years to come, we have listed a number of tips for you:
- Make sure you keep your fill-in book in a clean and dry place . In damp places paper can become bulged so it is better to keep it in a room in the house than in a (damp) shed/cellar.
- When you fill in your fill-in book, make sure you have a clean/dry surface and wash your hands beforehand. This will prevent stains on both the cover and inside the book.
- Take into account the thickness of the photo paper. The fill-in book has a beautiful bound cover but unfortunately it is not a photo album. Therefore, be careful with the photos you stick in. We advise not to stick the photos too close to the inner seam, not to print too large and to choose the thinnest possible photo paper type. (Tip: the HP Sprocket mobile photo printer prints self-adhesive and thin photos. These are perfect for our fill-in books)
- To prevent bleeding, it is best to choose pens that dry quickly and have a fine ink . Ballpoint pens are the most suitable! They write smoothly and ensure less leakage. If you really want to be sure that the ink does not bleed through, you can always fill in a test page before you start.
