These tend to bleed through, but if you get a thinner, drier fineliner this isn’t an issue. It’s hard to believe, but a thinner fineliner will work well on the Moleskine. If you can’t find an Acro 300 or the metal-bodied Acro 1000, then you can pickup an Acroball. Both are excellent but some people will prefer one will some prefer the other. Simply put, the Acro 300 is Pilot’s competitor to the Jetstream. Pilot Acro 1000 and Acro 300 Pilot Acro 300 Note: The Blen is one of our all-time best pens. This is a great pen to write with, it’s comfortable to hold for long stretches, and it has excellent ink. The Blen is another hybrid writer, like the Jetstream, but we’ve found that it performs well on this paper, especially in the 0.5 mm black ink. If you want a retractable pen in this class, try the Pilot Juice-up 0.3 mm. Try the 0.4 mm size, instead of the 0.5 mm or the scratchy 0.25 mm. So as long as you don’t let ink pile up on the tip and pool at stopping points a Hi-Tec C or Coleto is a top pick. Hi-Tec-C pens are solid picks for a Moleskine because they are fine-tipped needlepoint pens that let out limited quantities of ink. One of our favorite Jetstreams is the Slim Compact 3-Color, but a Jetstream 3 or Jetstream Prime would as well. Their use of of oil-based ink keeps the writing more on the paper than in it (like a gel or rollerball), but the lubricated ink means smoother writing than a traditional ballpoint. These are smooth writers that are called ballpoints by Uniball, but are generally accepted to be hybrid pens. Jetstream PensĪny 0.38 mm or 0.5 mm Jetstream will be a great option as well. If you want a retractable pen with the same qualities, try the Signo RT1. These are excellent pens with limited show-through so you can make use of both sides of your Moleskine pages. The Signo DX (UM-151) is a great starting point for a Moleskine because it’s affordable, it writes well, it’s sold in many colors, it’s writes well in 0.25 mm and especially well in 0.38 mm, and its ink is both archival quality and acid-free.
