  • Publication number: 20080153699
    Abstract: The present invention generally provides a copying system, preferably for a personal calendar system, whereby notes can be transferred from a notepad to a single sheet of the calendar by writing the information while the note sheet is positioned on the calendar sheet. A separator or other backing board is not needed to ensure that the information is not transferred to additional calendar pages in the stack of calendar pages. In one embodiment the calendar sheets have a first surface and a second surface, the first surface having carbonless developer material thereon. Conversely, the notepad sheets have a first surface and a second surface, the second surface having a carbonless color-former material thereon. Additionally, the notepad sheets have a removable and repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on at least a portion of the second surface thereof.
