The Apica CD story

Apica’s C.D. Notebook has been a staple of Japanese schools and offices for decades. Its paper is known for being exceptionally smooth, comparable to many European premium papers, and it takes fountain pen ink, gel ink and pencil with ease.

Why go A4?

A4 is the size of standard printer paper, so the CD30WN is a natural home for lecture notes, project planning and anything you may want to pair with printed documents. The large page makes it easy to write long passages or sketch diagrams beside your notes.
