To ensure the longevity and quality of your refill pads:

6. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ink bleed-through or show-through | Using very wet inks, markers, or high-pressure writing; using both sides of the paper with heavy ink. | Use drier pens or pencils. For important documents, write only on one side of the paper. Consider using a blotter sheet underneath if using heavy ink. |
| Pages tearing unevenly | Improper tearing technique; excessive force. | Gently tear along the perforation line. Ensure a firm grip on the page being removed and the remaining pad. |
| Paper curling or warping | Exposure to humidity or moisture. | Store pads in a dry, stable environment. Avoid leaving them exposed in humid conditions. |
