Circa and printers

Rie — Wed, 4 Mar 2009 23:38:48 -0500

I have just copied my Kar-Ben Jewish calendar (full size paper) on to double sided circa paper. I only put one page through at a time (I was using my home printer - I would like to try with a real copier). It worked like a charm.

I think I am going to bite the bullet and buy the punch.

office supply 12 step sign up?

supenguin — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 14:25:07 -0400

I think if there was a 12 step program for office supplies I'd have to sign up. As long as I can be the one that will take the minutes. Can someone give me their Circa or Moleskine? ;-)

Anyway, I went from a very fat Classic size Franklin planner to a thinner one and now to a Circa/Rollabind combo but I still really like the Moleskine weekly planner + notebook http://www.moleskineus.com/large12month.html and find myself wondering how nicely that may fit in an Evergreen leather zipper binder along side my Circa notebook.

12 Steps

nay nay — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 14:03:25 -0400

Boy, how I wish there was a 12 step program for "people like us." I am seriously driving myself batty/nuts/crazy with my constant changes in planners. I think I have been here 4 months and in that amount of time I have gone from Moleskine, to Circa, to notebooks, to homemade notebooks, to mass-produced calendar things, and now I am back to Moleskine. UGH!

Here is my take on Moleskine - I just rcvd the weekly planner - pocket size - yesterday and I LOVE IT! There is something about the paper in the Moleskine. It is so smooth and yet thin - but thin is good for me in paper. Levenger's paper is soooo thick that I have a hard time "paging" through my Circa's and you have less paper in your planner then because it is so thick. I did, however, think about combining the two (Circa and Mole) like Chet did (see her pics on Flickr). She made a Circa 3X5 notebook out of a Moleskine... Intersting.

I guess I just got sick of punching paper all of the time. Now everything I need is in one notebook that is glorious to write in. I keep both work and personal all in one (which I couldn't do with my Circa - even using the large discs, I couldn't fit everything).

So, as of right now, I am happy again. My checking account thought is yelling at me non-stop!!! I have gone overboard with spending and now I want the Leather Moleskine cover from Ren-Art. Like I said, I am driving myself CRAZY! But, I am sure having a lot of fun!

The search continues....

moleskine

Sara — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 13:48:44 -0400

I'm tempted to pick up a moleskine just to have one... I feel like I've been out of the loop for far too long... and now I have a circa ... lol.

seriously... is there a 12 step program for office supply / planner junkies?

Circa is a very versatile notebook with enough flair and cachet to squelch my Moleskine love affair. Heavy journal-writers and notebook-capture types will want to also order a set of bigger rings. Also: make sure you buy the dividers. Brent Dusing

bomber jacket leather for circa

willhparker — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:27:58 -0500

I just got my latest Levenger catalog in the mail today (sea and sand...) and as I was going thru it I was wishing that you made the Circa covers in the Bomber Jacket leather - lets see now, that's one vote for a junior size Circa cover in Bomber Jacket leather - yes that's right Me - over here.....

How Circa/Rolla pages actually grasp onto discs

Rasmussen — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:19:37 -0500

There have been some great descriptions of how the Circa-perforated pages grasp onto and release from the binding discs. Yet, I realize it might still be a little difficult to visualize if one cannot experiment with a notebook first-hand.

So I thought a video might help - How-To: Replace Circa pages

Atoma in Australia

Katrina — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 20:36:08 -0500

The postage to Australia is too high for me to consider Levenger or Rollabind. My frugal nature objects to paying more for the postage than what I'm buying.

However, Atoma does have an Australian distributor so I might investigate it.

Actually...

Tournevis — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 20:05:00 -0500

Actually Atoma invented the concept, then Rollabind adapted it and Levenger licenced it.

Circa Printing

EricP — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 12:57:33 -0500

I recently contacted Levenger to find out if they had blank paper that was not punched that would hopefully run through my printer more than a single shest at a time.

Apparently they only carry unpunched paper that is already printed with lines or grids.

Does anyone know where i can get blank unpunched junior size paper that i do not have to trim?

Thanks

Did it

I ordered the letter size covers and some red discs today. Now my music book will be functional and pretty.
I need to design a nice cover page don't I.

Today is our ninth Anniversary, and DH asked what I wanted. I said the Truewriter FP in red, he said 'OK' but I just ordered the covers and rings today.

Silly me, I should go back and order the pen, too.

Circa + Simon only in catalog

Studio717 — Mon, 5 Feb 2007 13:06:27 -0500

Hi, Chet,

The only place I've seen the Simon + Circa combo was in the Levenger catalog, but it did have a pic of Simon holding the Circa notebooks named after him. As I mentioned, they were extra large ones. (Which is not to say it's the only place, just the only place I've seen it.)

In fact you are lucky guy.

Dmitry — Mon, 5 Feb 2007 11:04:41 -0500

In fact you are lucky guy. We, in Russia, even have no opportunity to order from Levenger - they have no delivery options for our country.

Circa

Roberto_Notecardo — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 14:53:05 -0500

Recently on this site I have seen several references to "circa" or "rollabind", and didn't understand what they meant. Since receiving my first Levenger catalog a week or so ago, I now understand what circa refers to. I'm assuming that rollabind is similar.

What I don't understand is the advantage of circa over standard punched holes. What is the mystique all about?
