Customizable notebook printing?
I have only been able to find lined notebooks with big spacing between the lines (8mm). I would like to have very tiny spacing (3 or even 2mm). I haven't been able to find them.
Also, I'd like to design my own notebooks with custom layout, so basically I'd like to be able to get a custom notebook with an arbitrary greyscale basis (whether lined, or with e.g. some text in the corner). To be clear I am talking about this being on all the pages of the notebook, not just the cover.
Is there a good online store that will print notebooks based on your custom design? (In the UK)

There are print-on-demand publishers, like Create Space, Lulu, and Lightning Source, that will print just about anything you want. You have to meet requirements like the page size has to be chosen from a list of acceptable sizes, they typically have only a couple of choices for type of paper, etc. But something like "a book made up of pages that are basically blank except that they have lines with this spacing" etc, if you can create a PDF file with pages that look like you want, they'll print it.
I carry a pocket calendar with appointments and phone numbers. I used to struggle every year searching every office supply store in town to find one with a format that I liked -- and of course the fact that a certain store had the format I liked last year does mean they have it again this year. Finally I said, forget this. I wrote a little program to create a calendar in exactly the format that I want, and every year I pay Create Space I think it's to print 2 copies for me.
I had a friend in University who wanted this and he did it using Publisher (which Microsoft will give for free to students at least in Canada and the USA). He then took it to the University Printer (student run, good quality and fair prices). There he had them do it up on campus.
Maybe your school has a similar shop?
Check out paperkit.net/linedpaper. You can set your own line height and then download it as a PDF template. I didn't play with it to see sizing variety and paper size options but you might be able to get what you want there and it is free.
