9. What pens do you recommend to use with the cardstock paper?
Our cardstock paper is super versatile! You can use most types of pens or markers without having to worry about the ink bleeding through.We recommend staying away from ball-point pens due to issues with smearing. Personally, we love to use Sharpie Pens or PaperMate Flair Pens! For the black cardstock, we suggest metallic or white Sharpie pens!
10. Can I add or remove pages from my book in the future?
Simply unscrew the far-left hardware on the front of the book to access the pages once you remove the cover. You can then easily add or remove pages!
*PLEASE NOTE: If the paper quantity is drastically changed, the provided screws may not cater to the size of the book anymore. In that instance, please contact us to purchase new hardware!
