The significant Moleskine test has been completed.
It was brief, yet full of information. And I really wish things had turned out differently in the end. I have a lot of respect for Moleskine as a business. I really like the initiatives that they work on, such as developing mobile applications and online publications. I really like the creativity they put into their products as well as the product tie-ins they provide. I like their pens just as much as the next person.
However, the notebook paper they use is terrible.
I wanted to find out whether the tales I had heard about better paper were real, so I got this notebook to test it out. It's far terrible than I thought it would be. When I use a fountain pen, it seems like I'm writing in a notebook made of stone paper. If you've ever used one of these notebooks, you'll know that the material has a spongy texture and quickly absorbs the ink. Every fountain pen I used to test it had the same instantaneous absorption rate. It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words.
Even though it wasn't necessary to go any farther, I went ahead and made myself feel bad by turning the page to the next one nonetheless. In the event that you are compelled to make use of this notebook, there are a few options that are worth considering:

Good pens for Moleskine:

A ballpoint pen, such as a Bic Cristal or Uni-ball Jetstream, for example.
Gel, such as that found in the Uni-ball Signo or the Zebra Sarasa Clip.
Drawing pens, like the Sakura Pigma Micron.

Average pens for Moleskine:

pens with rollerball refills, such as the Pilot Precise V5 or the Uni-ball Vision.
refill cartridges for liquid ink for printers such as the Schmidt P8127.
Brush pens, with the smaller tip size being preferable.
