I bought a notebook and a diary. The diary so that I could reuse it every year and the notebook because I take a lot of notes that I don't necessarily keep, so I wanted to avoid wasting paper. I'm delighted with my purchase because the pen is very easy to erase and the notebooks are really reusable without any problem. My only minor disappointments are the fact that the ink takes a long time to dry, so you can't close the notebook immediately, and slight marks on the paper after erasing. But this doesn't affect the legibility of what you write on top.

Thank you for sharing your experience with econotes products! It's great to hear that you're delighted with the reusability of the diary and notebook. Concerning the ink, yes, it takes a few seconds to dry like a fountain pen. This is because the ink is water-based. Don't hesitate to use the wet wipe to remove any traces left by the eraser... Thanks again for your purchase and your contribution to reducing paper waste. ????

I'm very interested in the principle, but the notes don't erase completely (there are always traces left), and I'm not a fan of the sheet material. Maybe I didn't get enough information beforehand.

I'm a stickler for handwritten notes, and Econotes has changed my habits by saving me countless drafts.The only drawback in my opinion is the lifespan of the pens, less than a month (hence the missing star), so I ordered a quantity of refills, which arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I recommend them for people like me who need to take notes that don't necessarily last forever.

Hello Nicolas, I'd like to thank you for your review and your great feedback... Concerning the refills, one refill corresponds to 400 meters of writing, for the hardcore econoteurs, they can run out quite quickly.... This is because the ink is water-based, unlike a traditional ballpoint pen. That's why we offer low-cost refill packs?

The order and delivery went as smoothly as possible. The product is of high quality, but the concept needs some fine-tuning for the erasing process, which remains laborious on a daily basis. It's a shame, because the principle is very interesting!

Hello Nicolas, Thank you for your feedback. Erasing is normally very easy with a moistened wipe, even easier if you do it daily... Customer service will contact you to identify the problem.

In such cases, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service department, who will be able to contact the carrier and reduce the delay. We use PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) certified cardboard envelopes to limit our ecological footprint and promote sustainable forest management. Unfortunately, we understand that the format of these envelopes may seem oversized in some cases. We are constantly striving to optimize our packaging processes while maintaining the safety of our products during transport. Please note that home delivery is also an option available on our site via Colissimo, which may be a more suitable alternative for your delivery preferences.Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience encountered and thank you for your feedback, which helps us to continually improve our services. ???

Very good notebook made in France! The only drawback is the use of the eraser at the end of the pen, which leaves marks on the paper. It's better to scratch and use the damp cloth at the end.

Thanks for the compliment on the made-in-France notebook! ???? For small corrections, erasing with an eraser is fine, but for a total page reset, the damp cloth is the best choice. Thanks for the useful feedback! ????

Impeccable product as usualOn the other hand, I regret that when I placed my order, I didn't have the choice of delivery address. You see the proposed relay and the list of other relays after payment, so you can't change the delivery method. If I had seen the list of relays, I would have chosen home delivery.

Fast and careful delivery. I've been using it for two weeks now and I'm delighted. The writing is pleasant, erasing is quick with the cloth and a little water. The only downside is that the ink takes a long time to dry, despite waiting for it to do so once erased. Also, be careful where you store it: the ink faded in the heat of my laptop's battery, which had just been switched off.
Translated reviews
Response from econotes
Thank you for your positive review of our products! We're delighted that you're happy with the speed of shipment and the quality of the writing.Concerning the ink in our pens, it is indeed heat-sensitive, which means that it erases when heated, which is handy for resetting the notebook with a hairdryer...! To reappear ink that has been erased by heat, as with your computer, place your econotebook in the freezer, and the ink will reappear after a few minutes. ??

I think it's a good idea. I'm impressed by competitors who make stone sheets instead of plastic.
Translated reviews
Response from econotes
Thank you for your constructive comments... We should point out that our first versions were made of stone paper, but we finally banned it from our production, as this paper is not as virtuous as it seems. It can only be recycled in Asia, so importing it, exporting it for recycling and then importing it again would be ecological nonsense, all the more so because of its weight, and if it isn't recycled, it will release micro particles of plastic invisible in nature, given that it's a mixture of 2 materials (stone powder and plastic), so it can't be recycled in France and Europe. Not to mention the conditions under which the raw material is recovered from quarries. Everything is verifiable, despite the few sites that promote this paper. This link may give you food for thought: https://www.jdp-pub.org/avis/avis-jdp-n-546-18-imprimeur/amp/econotes has chosen a synthetic resin that can be reused over 1,000 times, is tear-proof, waterproof and 100% recyclable in France in the yellow garbage can. To take things a step further, we're planning to consign the notebooks so that we can be sure of the material's end-of-life and recycle or revalue it. At econotes, we're not perfect, but our eco-responsible thinking extends from production to the end-of-life of our products?

The ink really takes too long to dry (I had to give up notebooks because I couldn't write several pages in a row). I was quite happy with the diary, but in the end it didn't last: even after several attempts with the hairdryer, you can still see what was written before (especially as sometimes the pen catches and scratches the page a bit). By dint of erasing, I can no longer write in certain places (with little stains that don't go away). In short, this is my second year and it won't go any further, which is a shame. The ink also fades very quickly, so you have to keep a stock of it, which can be quite expensive in the end. On the other hand, the paper is really solid

Disappointed with the diary I was looking forward to, the ink drools even when you wait. Customer service sent me refills, less drool but still the same. I've missed the deadline for returning the diary because customer service didn't get back to me in time. (2 emails in 14 days)

The pages are superbly textured, making them a pleasure to write on. Erasing is amazing, especially with water. Only downside: the red and green pens in my pack don't erase as well after a few days (and I didn't know that...). But I really appreciate the fact that I no longer have little pieces of paper everywhere with my notes. Once obsolete, I delete my list!

Good on the whole, but I ordered the diary and the pens from the brand and I still find that you can see a lot of what was written before (without leaving the writing for a long time before erasing it). I doubt I'll be able to use it for more than three years, which is a shame. I doubt I'll be able to use it for more than three years, which is a pity, and I should add that even while waiting for the ink to dry, there are often transfers and drooling. Important point: do not use with any other brand of friction pen, it's a disaster! Fast, careful delivery.

A correction to my 1st review. I can confirm that ink cartridges don't like high temperatures. Because with 4° less, my pen works perfectly today. Thank you for your help and follow-up. Sincerely, Véronique ----I have mixed feelings about the pencils. My cartridge was empty, so I recommended 10... And a few minutes after loading a new cartridge, it's already not working... I put it in the fridge and nothing helped... In short, I'm disappointed!

The notebook is very good. It can be erased but you mustn't move from one page to another quickly, the ink has to dry otherwise it'll smudge everywhere.dittoDry the erased pages with a damp wipe (too little damp doesn't erase well, too wet you have to let it dry: it's a good idea) and with a hairdryer, separate the pages and let them cool otherwise it'll erase the back pages. Otherwise the pens glide nicely over the paper (glossy style) which is great! I like the reusability of the multiple lists.

The presentation of each day is very well done, week on 2 sheets is good.what I miss is a recap of the year with all the months visualized on a single page, a small pocket to slip documents like prescriptions, there is a transfer of ink even if I wait a good 20 seconds before closing the diary.

I'm always disappointed that I can only use the black pen, because the other colors don't erase! If I don't erase my work right away, several days later it has to be done with a hair dryer, and that always leaves traces apart from the black pen.

I bought a Notebook + Pens pack and have been using them for about 2 weeks. The ink dries slowly, which is not suitable for "intensive" use. I have to take notes in meetings or for myself on a daily basis (I work in communications), and find myself stuck at the end of the page waiting for the ink to dry before turning the page... Otherwise, the notebook goes everywhere with me on a daily basis, and despite taking care of it, the protective film on the cover is starting to peel off.as far as erasing and rewriting are concerned, there's nothing to say it works perfectly.in short, a product to be improved in its use, which I'd happily recommend in the future if practicality improves :)

An excellent idea at an affordable price! On the other hand, I find that the promise isn't completely kept, because I think it's a shame that the ink fades if you touch it a few seconds after drawing. It doesn't prevent you from using it, but you have to be on your guard and wait a bit for it to dry. Despite this, I think it's very good value for money and a good initiative to limit waste for notes that will often be thrown away without being reused.
