Abstract

Notebook comprising a plurality of pages ( 1 ) of paper bound together with a cover ( 2 ), in which a plurality of substantially vertical and/or substantially horizontal lines are printed on the pages ( 1 ) and are formed by a plurality of dots ( 5 ) aligned with each other, which have a maximum dimension, in particular diameter, comprised between 0.21 and 0.35 mm, the distance between two adjacent dots ( 5 ) of a same line being comprised between 0.43 and 0.7 mm and the color of the dots ( 5 ) being darker than the color of the page ( 1 ), in which the sum of the four quadrichrome CMYK values of the color of the page ( 1 ) is comprised between 0 and 20, in particular comprised between 10 and 20, with the K value less than 10, and the sum of the four CMYK values of the color of the dots ( 5 ) is comprised between 15 and 50, in particular between 25 and 40, with the value K less of 40. The present invention also relates to a method for digitizing notes by means of said notebook.

Claims (23)

1. Notebook comprising a plurality of pages of paper bound together with a cover, in which a plurality of substantially vertical and/or substantially horizontal lines are printed on the pages, wherein said substantially vertical and/or substantially horizontal lines are formed by a plurality of dots aligned with each other, which have a maximum dimension, in particular diameter, comprised between 0.21 and 0.35 mm, the distance between two adjacent dots of a same line being comprised between 0.43 and 0.7 mm and the color of the dots being darker than the color of the page, in which the sum of the four quadrichrome CMYK values of the color of the page is comprised between 0 and 20 with the K value less than 10, and the sum of the four CMYK values of the color of the dots is comprised between 15 and 50 with the value K less of 40.

2. Notebook according to claim 1 , wherein the difference between the sums of the CMYK values of the colors of the dots and of the page is greater than 10.

3. Notebook according to claim 2 , wherein the four CMYK values of the color of the dots are comprised between 0/3/6/16 and 0/5/11/23.

4. Notebook according to claim 2 , wherein it is also provided with one or more sheets comprising one or more adhesive labels having a shaped profile and/or comprising a graphic symbol printed on them.

5. Notebook according to claim 2 , wherein it is also provided with a code printed or applied on a page and/or on the cover.

10. Notebook according to claim 9 , wherein one or more adhesive labels have an arrow-shaped profile and/or graphical symbol.

11. Notebook according to claim 10 wherein the sum of the four CMYK values of the color of the adhesive labels and/or of their graphic symbol is comprised between 50 and 150 with the K value less than 50.

12. Notebook according to claim 10 wherein the sum of the four CMYK values of the color of the adhesive labels and/or of their graphic symbol is comprised between 70 and 150 with the K value less than 50.

13. Notebook according to claim 9 , wherein the sum of the four CMYK values of the color of the adhesive labels and/or of their graphic symbol is comprised between 50 and 150 with the K value less than 50.

14. Notebook according to claim 9 wherein the sum of the four CMYK values of the color of the adhesive labels and/or of their graphic symbol is comprised between 70 and 150 with the K value less than 50.

15. Notebook according to claim 9 , wherein it is also provided with a code printed or applied on a page and/or on the cover.

16. Notebook according to claim 1 , wherein it is also provided with a code printed or applied on a page and/or on the cover.

17. Notebook according to claim 1 , wherein the sum of the four quadrichrome CMYK values of the color of the page is comprised between 10 and 20, and the sum of the four CMYK values of the color of the dots is comprised between 25 and 40.

18. Method for digitizing notes, wherein it comprises the following steps:

writing one or more notes on at least one page of a notebook according to claim 1 ;

photographing this page with a digital camera;

processing the digital image of the page photographed by said digital camera so as to convert said notes into digital data.
