Notepad Michalczyk & Prokop Notes Self-Copying A5 Plain — duplicate carbonless sheets

Michalczyk & Prokop Notes Self-Copying A5 Plain is a compact notepad designed to produce an immediate duplicate copy of handwritten entries without the need for carbon paper. Each A5 sheet contains two layers: a top original and a self-copying duplicate beneath, both with plain, smooth surfaces to accommodate ballpoint pens, pencils and most felt-tip pens. The pad is sized for easy handling, filing in folders, and transport in briefcases or coat pockets, making it practical for on-the-spot documentation.

Advantages

The self-copying mechanism ensures fast, simultaneous creation of an original and a copy, reducing errors and saving time compared with manual copying. Plain A5 pages provide flexibility for freeform notes, sketches and signatures without printed lines or grids. The pad’s compact format and durable binding keep sheets aligned and facilitate tearing out clean copies when needed. Compatible with common writing tools, this notepad supports routine business documentation workflows.

Suitable for

• Field service notes and site inspections
• Receipts and delivery confirmations
• Sales orders and order taking
• Workshop job sheets and maintenance records
• Any situation requiring an immediate paper duplicate

Key specifications

• Format: A5 (portable, fits folders and briefcases)
• Sheet type: plain (smooth) self-copying duplicate sheets
• Copying method: carbonless self-copying layers
• Suitable writing instruments: ballpoint pens, pencils, most felt-tip pens
• Binding: glued or stapled pad construction for orderly sheet removal

How to use

Place the pad on a flat surface and write on the top sheet as you would on a standard notepad; the pressure of the pen creates an identical copy on the sheet underneath. When a duplicate is completed, tear out the top original or the copy along the pad edge, using the binding to guide a clean separation. Store used and unused sheets flat to maintain the quality of the self-copying layers and avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct sunlight.

Usage recommendations

For best results, write with a moderate hand and use a ballpoint pen or pencil. Avoid heavy ink bleeding instruments and do not use excessive pressure that could damage the sheet surface. Keep pads in a dry place and file copies promptly to preserve legibility.
