📓 Which notebook works best for bullet journalling?

Choose a notebook with smooth, thick pages (100–120gsm or higher) to prevent bleed-through and keep layouts crisp.
We recommend:

  • The Writer’s Duo notebooks, crafted for luxury and longevity — ideal companions for all pen types above.

  • Dot grid or plain paper formats for flexible design and creativity.

Explore our Notebooks and Writer’s Duo Collection to find your perfect match.


💧 How can I avoid ghosting or ink bleed?

Here are a few professional tips to keep your pages pristine:

  • Use pens with controlled ink flow like the Ergonomic Stylish Ballpoint or Black & Gold Elegance Pen.

  • Allow drying time before layering brush or gel pens.

  • Test new pens on a back page to see how they behave with your paper weight.

  • For heavy shading or colour fills, layer light strokes instead of pressing firmly.
