DoubleE said:My fountain pens bleed in my Moleskine as well. I now just use a nice rollerball in it and save my fountain pens for thicker paper in a couple of my other journals. I love the size and look of the Moleskines. I wish the paper was just a little thicker.

MJB said:When a fountain pen bleeds into the paper it is in part the papers fault but the writer may also be able to change things a bit. Writing bigger and faster with less pressure--thinking of the fountain pen more as a paint brush.
That being said--I am being a bit of a jerk here because--I agree my fountain pens which have generous ink flows or nibs that are not fine or comparatively fine mediums bleeds (which is most of them that I consider most worthwhile using) into the Moleskine pads.

Hi folks! It is true that Moleskins have become the unofficial trademark of many an aspiring writer. I started, a long time ago, in those familiar "black and white speckled composition" books. Now, I have found a hard-bound journal source, that is easy on the pocket, and yes, they take just about any kind of ink.
Here is the website .... don't laugh too loud, when you read it, please?

I have used for years, when I was 'a government wonk', and when I worked in supply, and then electronics, in the Air Force. It is not as 'light' as a moleskin, but ask our folks 'in the sand', since they swear by them, too. Besides, most 'bookstore journals', are the same dimensions as these, so they fit nicely on the shelf.
