Many of us use notebooks for the many different meetings we attend.  How often have you taken great notes and it takes you 3-5 minutes to find them 2 days later to reference?  Or you have multiple meetings on the same subject and the notes are spread out across several pages with other notes in-between?

Enter….ROCKETBOOK

The Everlast Rocketbook notebook provides a classic pen and paper experience yet is built for the digital age. The Everlast is endlessly reusable and connected to all your favorite cloud services.

When you write using any pen from the Pilot Frixion line, your writing sticks to Rocketbook pages like regular paper. But add a drop of water… and the notebook erases like magic. The Everlast has pages made with synthetic materials that provide an extremely smooth writing experience.

  • No more wasting paper - this environmentally friendly notebook can be used endlessly

Responsible Printer Practices


  • Print Only What You Need.

  • Print on both sides of the page (duplex) for 44% reduction in yearly paper use,

  • Reduce margins and typeface sizes. Remember in college when you used big margins and fonts to make those ten-page papers less arduous? This is the reverse. Just changing the margins can reduce paper use by up to 14 percent.

  • Recycle printed paper (or shred if confidential)
