Notebook Oxford Collegeblock Touch Pastell A4+ dotted, 80 sheets, Optik Paper, 4-hole punched

Oxford Collegeblock Touch Pastell A4+ dotted is a writing pad designed for clear, ink-friendly notes and printed materials. It contains 80 sheets of Optik Paper, a paper grade that improves contrast and reduces ink bleed-through. The pages are dotted to support structured handwriting, sketches and layout planning, and the pad is pre-punched with four holes for easy filing in A4+ compatible binders. The pastel cover provides a restrained, professional appearance suitable for study, meetings and everyday office use.

Advantages

The Optik Paper surface promotes high legibility for ballpoint, gel and fountain pens and is suitable for many types of printers. Dotted pages balance freeform sketching with guidance for alignment and spacing. The four-hole punch format simplifies organisation and long-term storage in binder systems. The pad’s A4+ format offers slightly larger margins compared with standard A4, giving more space for notes or annotations.

Suitable for

• Note-taking in lectures, meetings and seminars
• Sketching, diagramming and visual planning
• Office documentation and printable handouts
• Project notebooks and study folders kept in binders

When it may not be suitable

This pad is not intended as a replacement for specialised art paper where heavy washes, alcohol-based markers or intensive water techniques are required, since such media may still show through or cause feathering. It may also be less suitable where A4 exact dimensions are mandatory, as this is an A4+ format with slightly larger paper size and margins.

Key specifications

• Format: A4+ (slightly larger than A4)
• Sheet count: 80 sheets
• Page layout: dotted (punktkariert)
• Paper quality: Optik Paper for enhanced whiteness and ink handling
• Hole punches: 4-hole punched for binder compatibility
• Cover: pastel colour, soft but protective

How to use

Use the notebook for handwritten notes, sketches or printed material. The dotted grid helps align text and graphics without the visual weight of solid lines. If you plan to print on the sheets, ensure your printer supports the slightly larger A4+ size and feed sheets according to the printer manufacturer’s guidelines. Store the pad in a dry place and file removed sheets into a ring binder using the pre-punched holes for organised archiving.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your binder or filing system accepts A4+ or 4-hole punched sheets.
• Check compatibility of your preferred pens and markers with Optik Paper if you use heavy ink or speciality markers.
• Consider whether 80 sheets meet your project or course duration requirements.

Usage recommendations

For best results use ballpoint, gel or fine fountain pens and avoid heavy marker saturation; if printing, select the correct A4+ paper size in printer settings and feed single sheets if required by your printer.
