Square Notebook with Lined Paper by Cambridge Imprint

Cambridge Imprint is a design partnership of painter Claerwen James, textile artist Jane Powell and ceramicist Ali Murphy. We use simple hand-stencilled screen-printing to create our original designs, and spot-colour lithography to replicate that studio process in manufacturing the final paper product. The result is a matte paper of unparalleled intensity and clarity of colour.

Our influences are eclectic, but it has often been noted that our patterns have a particularly English quality, with a palette that is both sober and exuberant. We export paper all over the world, even to Kyoto in Japan, probably the world capital of beautiful patterned paper: an indication that we’re producing something with a very distinctive flavour. At recent design awards Katie Law of the Evening Standard called us ‘wholly original’ and ‘trend-free’.

"We are evangelists for paper and the wonderful versatility of this ancient material."

Cambridge Imprint square exercise book containing 84 pages of smooth cream paper with an elegant narrow-spaced line. There is no label or branding on the cover of patterned card – just our name stamped discreetly on the inside back cover.

Each book measures 210 x 210 mm, and is 8 mm thick.
