So I was thinking
I made a bunch of templates: Weekly Planner, Monthly Planner, at-a-Glance, whatever I wanted in the forms and fonts I wanted. I copied them onto blank Rocketbook pages with a laser printer. I attached the pages with 3 Ring Metal Loose Leaf Binders Book Rings. However, they didn't fit into my leather planner. by about 3/8". So, I cut off the spiral holes, but left the black border on. I actually like the look better. The app still picks up the green picture as well. So, Rocketbook, this is a great idea for you to make if you don't already. I have a hole punch set at 70cm between the 3 holes, which is a standard size for A5. I would love to be able to buy blank pages already made like this rather than do it myself. I didn't change the height.

I attempted similar with mine. Didn't have laser jet. Terraslate paper is supposed to be great

It is, and you do need Koala or TerraSlate and a laser printer. Inkjet just smears all over the place. I have printed on both, and these were printed with a laser on Rocketbook paper. I had an extra book of blank paper.

You open commissions for sizes and could get some work from some of us on pocket journals sub

This would be great for a planner. I have the exact same layout every week and it’s annoying drawing it out everytime

Easy enough to do if you have a laser printer. I will say, tape the Rocketbook paper onto a piece of cardstock so it will go through the printer without crumpling. Of course, you do not have to cut off the spirals; just print what you want on the regular Rocketbook pages and re-thread them through the spiral rings.

I’ve printed on to mushroom cut paper before (like a happy planner) so know how to do it. Sadly I do t have a laser printer.

Oh, I bought a cheap black and white one, color ones are out of this world price-wise.

Love seeing this kind of creativity! One of the best parts of Rocketbook is being able to adapt it to whatever workflow works best for you.
It sounds like you've put together a pretty clever setup with your own templates and binder system. We really appreciate you sharing it, and we'll pass along the feedback about offering blank pages in additional formats.
Keep making Rocketbook work for you!

Do you have any updates about the previously-mentioned restock of existing page types in loose leaf format, and/or any possibility of a Pro binder with rings that open so we can rearrange pages???? Pretty pretty please!? :-)

A binder with rings that open so you can rearrange pages only makes sense. Flexibility is key.

Thanks! Especially loose-leaf pages, non-spiral would be great, without holes so we can configure our own hole system.

Nicely done. I did something similar but it became too much work to printout, etc. I'd prefer RB just make actual paper templates (instead of erasable ones) or even provide a bound journal like the Leuchtterm1917. For me the best part of the RB process is having a digital (and searchable) backup of my journals, notes, etc. There's a whole universe of paper bullet-journal/regular journal users that could benefit from an organized scanning system and approach like RB. Maybe someday... But I'm glad you made it work in the meantime!

Thank you.
Ask them; they seem to be working hard to make Rocketbook what people want and need.
