Dear All, I never thought I would review a notebook or any paper for that matter, but this journal changed my mind. From the moment I put the pen to the paper, I was very impressed. Very smooth writing and quite a heavy paper. I'm not going to write the review in the journal because as much as I want to share my thoughts on this, I'm not willing to sacrifice even a page. I'm terribly sorry but I shall be selfish on this matter. I will of course show you a writing sample. I'm using two different pens and two different inks in the pictures, the red ink being Rober Oster Signature Fire Engine Red in a Jinhao 599 with F nib, the black ink being Rober Oster Signature Black in a Pilot Prera M nib. No feathering, no bleed through, some show through but it is minimal. I think that if you were using bolder nibs you may get more show through but unless it's a really wet pen I should think any bleed through would be minimal. As an example, the Pilot Prera with M nib I'm writing with is quite wet but there was no bleed through. Definitely fountain pen friendly, but someone else will have to judge that regarding broader nibs. Unfortunately I don't have any to test it with, my collection being limited thus far to F and M nibs.
