      The small rings are great for a slim portability, and Plotter only uses the 11mm rings. MeePlus has a few products with larger ring choices, but 11mm is great in my opinion. The thin paper in the video is 100 sheets and fits quite well. Their thicker paper comes in packs of 40 sheets.

    Thank you for your wonderful review, Kendall! We truly appreciate your feedback. We will work on optimizing the website to enhance the user experience and also focus on improving our shipping times. Generally, we do manage to process orders within 20 days. However, we did experience some delays recently due to a shortage of the Pueblo Tobacco/dark brown color and supply issues with our leather supplier, which caused some setbacks. To minimize the risk of stockouts moving forward, we've increased our leather inventory. Regarding the ring pads, we initially used a small batch of Italian Pueblo leather similar to the cover material, but it turned out to be a bit too thick. We will make adjustments in future batches to ensure better quality and comfort. Thanks again for your valuable insights!

    I save some of the inserts, and others get tossed. Depends on what it is. Like the ones I use for todo lists garbage. The ones I use for journals read them again reflect and they go in a shoe box under the bed. I have one where I jot down notes about the different cigars, and I will eventually get another cover for that because I like to take it with me in my bag when I go to the cigar lounge. So I guess it depends on your needs. In my work life, I have one to keep track of sales I made to make sure they pay me correctly. I put the info in the book then type it up all nice and neat and print a copy for myself, and it goes in a file cabinet and then gets emailed over. So I essentially have my records in triplicate. Digital typed and hand written 🤷‍♂️
