Refills & Compatibility Guide

Refilling saves cost over semesters and keeps your favorite body in hand. Use this matrix to match PaperMint refills with common pens and papers.

RefillTip SizeBest OnNotes
Gel Black PM-G05 0.5 mm 100–120 gsm, Grid/Dotted Dense strokes, minimal smudge; avoid glossy covers.
Ballpoint PM-B07 0.7 mm 80–100 gsm, All Everyday jotting; writes on tabs, kraft labels.
Fineliner PM-F03 0.3 mm 120–160 gsm, Smooth Sketch & outline; let dry before layering.
Highlighter PM-HL Chisel 100–120 gsm, Low-glare Pastel inks to reduce eye strain; test on photocopies.

How to pick the right refill

  • Line control: finer tips shine on smoother paper; tooth adds grip.
  • Show-through: if you see ghosting, jump one GSM tier.
  • Archiving: pick pigment-based gels for notes you’ll keep.

Care & longevity

Store horizontally for even flow; cap markers immediately. For fountain pens, flush monthly with lukewarm water. Avoid solvents on covers; use low-lint cloths.

Will PM-G05 work on kraft?

Yes, but strokes look slightly cooler; for warmer contrast use PM-B07.

Which refill for left-handed writers?

PM-G05 dries fast on 100–120 gsm; try Ivory Smooth to reduce smear.

Left-handed? Prefer faster-drying gels (0.5) on 100–120 gsm.

Carry Light

Pocket-friendly Sets

When you move between classrooms, labs, and cafés, a tiny kit keeps momentum — notes now, expand later on bigger spreads.

A6 pocket notebook with mint accent
A6 pocket notebook — quick capture, tear-out pages.
Mini pen with clip attached to a small notebook
Mini pen + clip — always within reach.

Why pocket matters

  • Frictionless capture: ideas stop fleeing when the page is right there.
  • Less bulk: slips into kurta pockets and compact bags.
  • Bridge tool: rough notes now, clean transfer to A5/B5 later.

Lasting Pages

Paper Care Policy

Good care keeps notes legible for semesters and beyond. Follow these field-tested habits from Indian classrooms, labs, and studios.

Notes archived inside a ring binder with dividers
Archive by month — dividers prevent tab curl and scuff.

Storage & handling

  • Keep notebooks flat in shade; avoid window heat and moisture.
  • Use card dividers between tabs; don’t press fresh highlighter strokes.
  • Rotate stacks every few weeks to prevent spine memory on soft covers.

Ink & tools

Pigment gels stay readable longer; dye inks are vibrant but sensitive to sunlight. If pages feel “toothy”, switch to finer tips or step up GSM to 120–160.

How to flatten a warped cover?

Place the book under a clean, heavy flat object overnight — avoid heat sources.

What about humid monsoons?

Use silica packets in desk drawers and ventilate; keep kraft stocks sealed when not in use.
