A few sheets of paper taken from a CIAK notebook. We've always raved about the fountain pen friendliness of CIAK paper, but don't take our word for it.

We are pleased to include samples from the brand new range of CIAK Eco notebooks, which are made from recycled, ethically sourced materials. The notebook differs from the classic CIAK in the feel of its cover and paper, so please do try this one. The Eco should be available to buy soon.

A few sheets of paper taken from a Cartesio notebook, our favourite notebook here at TJS. At the moment only lined paper is available, but we hope to add the plain ivory Cartesio to the range soon.

A few sheets of paper taken from a Moleskine notebook. Fountain pen users are likely to be dissatisfied, but there's no better way to decide than by trying. Please specify the type you would like to try (visit the Moleskine page if you are not familiar with the range).

The superb CIAK notebook. Black leather with archival quality ivory ruled paper. 15x21cm (A5). Patented horizontal elastic band secures any pen tightly against your notebook. CIAK journals and notebooks are made in Italy.

Italian Bonded Leather

Made from smooth soft Italian bonded leather, the CIAK's cover is firm yet flexible, which makes it an excellent alternative to a hardback cover. The use of bonded leather also makes CIAK notebooks very durable - ideal for everyday use.

Archival Quality, Acid Free Paper

There are 140 pages of permanently bound, college ruled cream paper that is perfect for fountain pen ink as well as ballpoints. The paper is archival quality and acid free and takes ink with no feathering or showthrough.

A Unique Leather Notebook

But that's where the conventional notebook ends.

Handmade in Florence, Italy, the CIAK notebook is a leather journal with a difference. CIAK features a patent protected horizontal elastic band, one major advantage of which is that a pen can be securely fastened to the notebook without fear of loss or damage. We've tried this with a variety of pens of different sizes ranging from a Pilot G2 to a Mont Blanc and the CIAK secured each one perfectly.

This is something that is simply impossible with any other notebook, due to their conventional vertical elastic bands. A quick look at the various Moleskine hacks on the Internet demonstrates the usefulness and value of having a pen attached to the notebook in this way.

The CIAK Range

The CIAK range is comprehensive and provides for user choice in virtually all elements of the notebook:

Sizes: 9x13cm, 12x17cm, 15x21cm (A5)
Colours: Black, red, blue, burnt orange, yellow.
Paper types: Ruled cream paper, plain cream paper, squared cream paper, plain white paper, multicolour ruled paper, address book, daily and weekly diary.

As well as the classic range of notebooks, the CIAK range also includes the CIAK Golf notebook, CIAK Travel notebook, CIAK Pocket slim notebook and CIAK Design themed notebook, which are all also available from The Journal Shop.

CIAK introduces another great notebook to their range of quality notebooks - the CIAK Travel Notebook (or "Taccuino di Viaggio" in Italian).

Measuring 12x17cm, the CIAK Travel journal features the usual high quality bonded Italian leather cover and Italian paper stock suitable for even fountain pens. The journal includes preprinted 'travel information' pages, such as a page for your travel itinerary, travel checklist and international sizes and unit measurements conversion.

The actual writing pages are a mix of plain and ruled paper. This is a great idea and allows for writing and sketching in the same notebook, or even use as a travel scrapbook using photographs accompanied by a written account of your travels.

The finishing touch on any CIAK notebook is of course the patented horizontal elastic band, which secures any pen tightly against your notebook. Like the rest of the CIAK range, the CIAK Travel journal is handmade in Italy, as proudly stated on the rear cover of the notebook. If you're looking for a leather travel journal/notebook, the CIAK Travel is a perfect choice.
