Starting new notebook with new year, more or less, which is a coincidence since I just start a new one with the old one is completed.
This time I wanted to go one step further and use as archival quality materials as possible. That means changing inks, paper and maybe leather cover.
I found new waterproof (and other magic properties) inks keeping the same colors and I show them in another post.
I tested quite a few high quality papers from a specialist shop. All laid papers in cream color and I fell in love with one of them called Burga because its texture and feeling. However it can't resist the eraser without breaking the external layer of papel so easily. A huge shock after I already bought quite a lot quantity. Conclusion: I continue using my trust Galgo paper 100g/m2 again.

The thickness is much more moderated than the former one, which became quite fat. Actually it's not "pocket" anymore so I decided to make something more portable. There is also a more important reason: Last notebook took me 2 years and I felt some risk when carrying it in my bag during some travels specially in dangerous areas. It could be a big lost if something happened to it. Shortening the time of use also reduce that risk.
I also used the same black leather. The cardboard now is stronger.
New adventures ahead for this baby.
