When Ana at The Well-Appointed Desk ran out of her favourite ink testing pads, there was nothing else quite good enough to replace them. So she set about designing and making her own. With the help of Skylab Letterpress, where, rather conveniently, her husband worked, she began tracking down the perfect paper, and finding the best design for ink geeks everywhere.
She succeeded with the Col-o-Ring. And like all good ideas, it bore fruit. The result is a bigger (and some would say better) version.
This one is A6 size, almost 250% bigger than the original. It's sturdily wire-bound and contains 40 sheets of 160gsm European paper. The paper is bright natural white and acid-free, with a nice texture - a little toothy, but not enough to catch nibs. It's been thoroughly tested to ensure that inks won't feather, bleed or show through. And it's finished with sturdy card covers with the Col-o-ring logo.
Orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday will normally be sent out the same day.
FREE Royal Mail Standard delivery for orders over £100, and just £3.50 for smaller orders. Royal Mail Priority is available as an option, for £3.50 on orders over £100, £5.50 on smaller orders. Express available for £9, or FREE with any order over £400. No delivery surcharges for Northern Ireland, Highlands & Islands or anywhere else!
International deliveries vary in cost, so you'll need to add the items you want to your basket, and enter the checkout to see the options for delivery. Prices and payment methods will reflect your country, and many countries have all taxes and duties included to make things easier and more predictable.
For all orders outside the UK, heavy orders may cost more to send, but the shipping cost will be displayed in the checkout before you commit.
