- New to Philofaxy? Read our quick guide to finding your way around
- Whose hand is that in the header? That is the hand of Steve's wife Alison... she likes to claim to be 'the hand of Philofaxy'! And she is writing in my A5 Finsbury, the diary insert is one printed from Outlook. The pen is just a Parker fountain pen.
- One of the advantages of Filofax is the compatibility between sizes. For instance Mini size pages will slot in to a Pocket size organiser. They will also fit an A5 as well with out overlapping
- Did you also know that Filofax Pocket pages will fit in to a Filofax Personal organiser and an A5 organiser. The holes in the page have to be the slotted variety to fit.
- Similarly a Personal page will fit 5 of the 6 rings on an A5 organiser, but you have to fold the bottom corner of the page.
- Day Timer Portable size is the same as Filofax Personal size. Their Desk size is similar to A5, but the ring spacing is not the same as Filofax
- Franklin Covey Compact size is similar in size to Filofax Personal size but the pages are wider, so can stick out slightly in Filofax organisers. Their classic size is similar to A5, but the ring spacing is not the same as Filofax
- Where is the best place to sell my Filofax organiser? Well Ebay is an obvious choice or Craigslist. But don't forget that Philofaxy has it's own Google Group for exchanging/loaning/selling/donating Filofax organisers and other accessories.
- Where can I display my collection of digital pictures of my collection of Filofax organisers? Philofaxy has a Flickr Group and also a discussion group attached to this group.
- What punch should I buy for my Filofax. See our detailed post on punches. Note you can use a personal punch for A5 but you need to punch it twice with the top or the bottom of the paper 32mm above the centre line of the highest hole. The paper will be just beyond the centre of the punch.
- Only use the tabs at the end of the rings to open the rings, don't just pull them apart, otherwise you strain the mechanism and they won't meet properly in the centre. This particularly applies to the small delicate rings in a Mini or Slimline organiser.
- Quo Vadis make a range of loose leaf refills. Their Timer 14 range fits Pocket Filofax and has the correct hole-spacing. Timer 17 fits Personal Filofax and has the correct hole-spacing. Timer 21 fits A5 Filofax, but the hole spacing is different and needs to be re-punched to fit.
- How many pages can you fit in to a 11mm diameter ring Slimline? I tried this out myself, 100 pages will go in comfortably, 120 pages I would think is the limit, above that and the pages become difficult to turn. This was tried using diary insert pages, no dividers or other pages.
- How many pages can you fit in to a 19mm diameter ring Pocket? I managed 220 pages which is about 19mm thick, so add section dividers as well and you will still be able to comfortably be able to turn the pages.
