Hello, I am from Turkiye (sorry if this comment has any mistakes). Years ago I met with a notebook producer -for a project- that was actually making Moleskine, if I remember correctly Moleskine have special paper or special formula of paper. If producer doesnt use them, they immediately drop the producer. Many quality drops are about stiching and cover. Paper changes supposed to be super minimal to even notice. I am surpprised to hear people notice different quality of papers. Maybe the air conditions of factory/warehouse affect the paper but idk.

@waahtever Месяц назад

I did actually notice a big difference in paper quality between two of my moleskines and the main difference (I didn’t think to check manufacturing) was that one had the QR code and branding printed on the end pages, and the other didn’t but had the pamphlet. (The better quality paper was in the pamphlet version, that I got on sale from staples). You could really tell the paper was less porous and the ink sat better on the surface instead of getting immediately absorbed and showing the pulp texture through the fountain pen ink. I’m glad to have a few copies with the better paper, but I’m not holding my breath re: finding more.

@waahtever Месяц назад

I mean, I still wouldn’t call it fountain pen friendly exactly, but depending on the ink there’s the potential for little to no bleeding with regular writing so I’ll take my win 😂

@SeaweedKisses Месяц назад

Ahh, interesting. Good to know, and thank you for sharing your experience. Will have to keep this in mind.

@nrickson Месяц назад

I hate that they have eliminated the world holidays. it's not necessarily because I need the dates but the holidays were also indicated in the calendar on the dates. I don't want to have to look up everything. Also it's better to have a small reminder on the day rather than having to write them in myself. Maybe I'm just lazy but I found those "page fillers" to be very helpful.

@ladyflimflam Месяц назад

Because my favorite weekly planner layout is moleskine and hobonichi weeks only (and the weeks is too small) I went on a quest to figure out a fountain pen and ink combo that works. What I learned is that my vintage pens, I use a Sheaffer Balance that’s nearly 100 years old, coupled with a heritage ink brand, Sheaffer or Parker Quink or Mont Blanc, works great on the moleskine. I also learned that the modern Platnium Preppy with an ef nib and any ink that isn’t really wet also works great. Right now I’m using my Balance with Microfilm Black Quink (yes, that’s vintage ink), but I do have other Sheaffer pens of 1930s and 1940s vintage that work equally well. I have a Lady Sheaffer from the 1960s I’m not as happy with in the moleskine.

I enjoyed your review very much. Can you consider to doing a non-fountain pen review? I am interested in that Serasa (sp?) because of the nice colour. But I am always interested in new pens for journalling in particular. I am not so interested in fountain pens as I don’t seem to get along with them very well. Everyone these days seems hooked on the Twsbi, but I bought one at the end of last year (cost around €80) and the ink seems to pool every time I use it for some reason. The nice thing about fountain pens though is that my handwriting improves enormously with them. Perhaps you have a favourite non-fountain pen for the same reason?
