Paper Tested / Moleskine

Is the Moleskine Classic notebook fountain pen friendly?

Moleskine · Classic notebook · ~70 gsm

Verdict

Not really. Reviewers found bleed-through rated Common, feathering rated Common. Ghosting was rated Heavy: a lot of show-through on the back of the page in testing. Sheen was rated None. Dry time was rated Fast (quick).

Poor for fountain pens: frequent bleed and feathering, fast dry because ink sinks in.

The Journal Shop: performs poorly with fountain pens.
