Anyone know of any sources for sublimation notebooks (probably A5 or A6 size)? The only ones I can find are the all aluminium ones from lovecut.

Cheers,

Neil.

If you are looking for to purchase lots of blanks then The Magic Touch might be worth a call. They sell meeting books which can be printed using the Laser heat transfer system. From what I have seen the quality is pretty good.

Alternatively notebooks are not that hard to make. Wiro bound ones are a piece if cake, might be worth considering making them.

Was just thinking of doing a few to see how they go. Hadn't thought of making them myself. Off to investigate...

Cheers,

Neil.

Send an image of the sort of note pad you are thinking of then I might be able to point you in the right direction of what to investigate

Hadn't really thought what type I wanted. I imagined I'd be able to find some more sub ones (might try the ones from lovecut anyway - despite the reputation!). Just looked and should be able to put new covers on wire bound ones easily enough as you said. Was just thinking about additional products.

Cheers,

Neil.

I've done a few in the past using a wire binder machine I have. I print the covers on thin card with an inkjet printer & then laminate the cover to make it that bit thicker. I do the same for the rear cover using just a blank piece of card laminated too.

A while ago I was in Staples & they were selling off a load of A5 paper cheap so, I bought quite a few packs with the view to making note books. I got a local printer to cut down some of the packs of paper to A6 to make some smaller note books. I gave most of them away as gifts to customers & they all really liked them.

Thanks for the ideas Ian - something else to go onto my to-do list!

Cheers,

Neil.
