Pens for your Bullet Journal

Looking for pens for your Bullet Journal? Based on common customer questions, here we will try to find out what might be worth thinking about.

A problem many people experience in their Bullet Journal is that it becomes so-called ghosting, that it shines through on the other side of the paper. The second is that pencils can bleed through paper. Pens that are alcohol based do not work in regular notebooks, they simply bleed through. Instead, you should use water-based pens and in our shop 99.9% of the pens are water-based. That it ghosts largely depends on which book, pen and technology you have.

Tip!
* Avoid writing/drawing with pencils over and over in the same place. Instead, use, for example, brush pens.
* Wipe off some of the wetness on newly purchased pencils on another piece of paper. When the pen has been used for a while, you can get completely different results.
* Use the last page of the book to test pens. Test how it turns out and also test limits on how much you can expose the paper to.
*Never rest pencils in the same place on paper but incorporate technique around it.

Roughly summarized is that in the pen case of many in Bullet Journaling you will find:

* Fineliners are popular for sketching out layouts and many also use them for actual writing.
* Brush pen , i.e. brush pens are popular for colouring, making strokes and writing headlines.
* Gel and rollerball are good for daily writing and decorating.
* Marker pens are used to sketch out certain layouts before you can adjust and edit them.
* Fiber tip pens of different types with different functions. For decoration, but here you will also find some extra functions such as dot pens.
* Highlighter pens basically have the same function as the brush pen mentioned above.

Fineliners - For detailed work

Fineliners are incredibly popular pens to use when doing Bullet Journaling. These are usually the pens that have been used if you see layouts with thin black writing. With us you will find lots of popular brands and they are available in a multitude of different line widths.

A tip in this context is to test a few different brands and with different line widths. All the pens are good, but everyone just gets different favorites.

They are also available in colored! In everything from clear colors to sepia and grey. Great for lifting different spreads with decorations but also the layout itself.

You can find all our Finleiners here

Brush pen = Pens with a brush tip

Brush pens are extremely popular in Bullet Journaling. They are used both for colouring, lettering and writing headings. Many of the pens are double tipped with a thinner tip for details. You get a lot of functions in one and the same pen. A brush pen is kinder to the paper if you want to color compared to traditional coloring pencils.

Brush pens are available with different tip sizes and those with a small tip are mainly for writing different forms of headlines on publications. There, Tombow Fudenosuke and Pentel Brush sign are extremely popular.

Worth considering is that if you want to color with brush pens in a book with thinner paper, you should mainly look at Tombow ABT Dual brush, Zebra mildliner or ZIG Brushables.

A tip here too is to test a few different single colors as pieces from the different brands.
