Or a horizontal layout similar to Dodopad/Organised Mum? As near as I can do, Organised Mum aren't doing Filofax inserts anymore, and Dodo Pad personal inserts look like they have no space. I'm tempted by vertical layouts, but...

I'm in California so that paper is harder to find here and more expensive. But I just love it. There is a A4 setting on my printer; so I saved it as a standard setting "Claire Fontaine." Then I print and cut to size.

For a long time it was a chore punching one hole at a time for my insert. I still need a visual mark on the Franklin punch because I use pages that are taller than the Franklin pocket paper.

I've got a lightweight DayTimer "classic" sized binder (for American half-sheet paper) with 1" rings (25.4mm) and a Franklin Covey 7th wonder of the world classic behemoth with 2" rings (50.8mm). These enormous heavy rings snap like alligator jaws.

However, since my purchase of diamine ink. I have found my paper not being as fountain friendly as I thought. I appreciate not all 80gsm are equal. So can anyone recommend a brand of printer paper so I can use in future ... many thanks in advance.

I have decided to sell my A5s & stick to personal. Yes, I lose out on the page size, but I use my binder much more effectively as it's a more practical size to have with me.

I wrote a Philofaxy guest post about this very topic on 11th and 12th July 2012. You can find it easily enough using the side bar by date or search "ultimate A5".
