📖 Read "What Is Jibun Techo?" Complete Guide ➔Q. What pens work best? Will fountain pens or highlighters bleed through? ▼ Tap to view
*Note: Bleed-through resistance and drying time may vary depending on specific ink formulations, nib sizes, and writing pressure.
Q. What is the difference between "THIN PAPER" and "MIO PAPER"? ▼ Tap to view
- THIN PAPER (Standard, DAYs, LITE, etc.): Feather-light and compact to keep your planner slim and portable. It features a brighter white tone that makes ink colors pop and offers a crisp, airy writing feel while resisting bleed-through.
- MIO PAPER (Biz series exclusively): A tad thicker and softer than THIN PAPER. It provides a smooth glide and superior ink absorption, making it a popular choice for fountain pen users and long writing sessions.
Q. Can I put accessory covers on LITE or Biz models? ▼ Tap to view
- LITE: Slides directly into our accessory covers as-is.
- Biz & Standard Models: Remove the notebook from its included standard cover first, then insert it into the accessory cover.
💡 Pro Tip: You can also buy bare Refills + a Clear Cover and insert your own decorative paper to create a 100% custom cover!
