Will this notebook be capable of handling fountain pens? Is there any bleed-through?

For really wet broad nibs, there may occasionally be some ghosting but no bleed through. I only use fountain pens and use a variety. This is the book that I use for my journal and I have been well pleased.

They are really good for fountain pens. For me, I use Noodler's, J. Herbin, Pilot Iroshizuku and Private Reserve inks, no bleed-through at all.

Yes it does. I have bought around 5 such notebooks over the past 2 years and have written on them exclusively with fountain pens, without issue. In comparison to other notebooks such as Moleskin, there is never any bleed-through or smudges.

While not as good as clairfontaine, it's good. Significantly better than moleskine, that's for sure.

Great for fountain pens. Heavy archival pain. I use a fountain pen and have not had any probs.

happily no these pens do not bleed through the paper. Although to be safe you can use a piece of paper, on the back of the page you're writing on.

On regular printer paper you can see the ink on the other side but it does not bleed through. In my experience, the black pens "bleed" less than the blue/red/etc.

The extra fine does not write that wet. I have not experienced any bleed on the otherside of the paper. If you want it to write wetter, I would suggest a wider tip.

They don't bleed completely thru, but you can see the writing on the other side more than you could with a ball point pen. (I write a lot in composition notebooks. Similar paper)

I've had no problems with it, the paper is thick and the ink doesn't bleed through.

It's possible to rip the pages out, but there are no perforated edges, and so it's not going to be a clean tear. So I'd recommend looking for another notebook if you want to rip out pages.This is a solid notebook that I use in my lab all the time, and they don't fall apart easily, which then leads to hard to tear out pages.

If your main concern is bleed through, it shouldn't be an issue here. I frequently use this pad with fountain pens. It's the main reason I went with Rhodia. It's very smooth to write on. No discernible bleed through, even with the wetter inks I've tried.

The paper is very absorbent for inks , so it's great if you have a cartridge or low flow fountain pen, but a standard dip well will probably be too much ink. However its very great looking paper, and shouldn't be too big a problem especially if you put a sheet behind the one you are writing on.Great booklet only complaint is one sided leather.

You'll find it to be quite light! The 14" size also makes it slim. It might be the lightest notebook I've ever owned.

I use these pens for Architectural drafting and renderings. I haven't had a issue with them bleeding on trace paper, vellum, or 20lb printer paper.

With a fountain pen, the show-through is rather too much to write on both sides. With a gel pen, it is no problem. But, the paper quality is not great.

I have both. This notebook (the Markings) used to be a great deal; I payed $6 and some change for mine several months ago. However, now that the price has doubled (and is more expensive than the comparable Moleskine), there is only one reason one would buy the Markings journal over its Italian counterpart: capacity. While the Moleskine has only 192 pages, the Markings has 240. But, while it has more paper, Markings' paper quality control is a crapshoot. I use fountain pens, and this is an issue. My brown Markings journals perform very poorly with my pens (lots of skipping and flow issues), but my black one is better; not on par with Moleskine, but close. If you use pencils, then this probably won't be an issue for you. Overall, it's clear the degree of quality Moleskine holds itself to far surpasses Markings'. When I use my Markings, I feel like I'm using a sub-par product. When I use my Moleskine, I feel like I'm using a refined and purposeful product. Try this brand if you want, but I personally would rather pay less money for a Moleskine and get a much better chance at quality paper; even if there's less of it.

No the paper isn't textured but if you wanted to use a fountain pen it would bleed through. The paper is very thin and meant for sketching with graphite. I tried a fountian pen on it because I wanted to use it as a journal but ended up just using it as a sketch book. Still a huge book for the price!

I believe the nib will last a long time if the pen is taken care of and not abused. I've had my pen for over a year and have had no problems.

As Shannon mentioned, the paper is thick handmade paper without any sizing, so fountain pens tend to bleed quite a bit with a fair amount of shadowing on the reverse side of the page.
