Details:
Plotter is a modular binder system; the binders themselves are offered in a range of different leather types, in different colors.
The binder features small 11mm rings keeping the profile of the book small and more sleek looking than other binder style planners. The exterior of the binders have a metal bar down the spine that make them instantly recognizable.
The bible size is similar to Filofax personal size so it’s possible to refilled by other companies in their binders. It also takes Raymay refills. You can also get a hole punch and add any custom inserts you want.
Review:
The leather used by Plotter for their binders is really beautiful and luxurious. I have the USA exclusive shiranami leather and it’s exquisite.
The paper is smooth, thin, and fountain pen friendly; my favorite refills are the 2mm grid paper. I don’t use this system as a planner because I like bound planners that I can keep, and the nature of a binder feels ephemeral, like the paper is meant to be discarded after use.
As a notebook, I really enjoy the available sizes, the variety and quality of the refills. The quality and aesthetic of the binder are great and beg to be carried around.
