I have switched from Moleskine to Piccadilly brand (I think this is the house brand of Borders Books). Half the price, almost the same quality.
The problem with Moleskines is that they got too popular, so they keep switching around the source for their paper; while earlier (circa 2005) Moleskines had paper that fountain pens wouldn't bleed through, later ones of the exact same type do have paper that fountain pens will bleed through.
- mkramlich 16y agointeresting to know, thanks. I just got into Moleskine a year ago or so. i haven't experienced any bleedthrough with the Pentel ballpoint point I pimped in another comment in this discussion. I think B&N has a store brand they promote too but I haven't tried it yet.
- Luyt 16y agoI love fountain pens. I have bunch of Parker 'Vectors' in a diversity of line widths and ink colors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Vector http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Vector The only disadvantage is that the ink stays water-soluble after it dries.
- rmc 16y agoAnother fountain pen lover here. I got a Mont Blanc for a 21st birthday present with a gold nib. However I've ran out of ink and haven't gotten round to getting some more.
