Paper ranges from the very heavy and smooth to light, but ragged and everything in between. Every notebook we tested seemed different. Even the same weight of paper made by two different production companies can be different. The only real way to know what the paper is like, how much feathering you're going get (that's when ink bleeds out from the edges, making blurry lines) is to put pen to paper, which is what we did. Many pens to many papers. + +We studied the feathering, watched for ghosting (where the writing is visible from the other side of the page) and, gods forbid, bleeding (where ink actually soaks through to the next sheet). The texture of the paper is also important if you're sketching (artists refer to this as the toothiness of the paper. The more tooth, the more the paper will hold your charcoal when sketching). + +We doodled scribbles, brainstormed, took notes, made plans, even attempted bullet journaling (sorry, didn't take). We used gel pens highlighters, fountain pens, ball point pens, micron pens, copic markers, oil pastels, water colors, charcoal, soft graphite pencils, hard graphite pencils, the best mechanical pencil, erasers, and even white out for thoroughness. But don't use white out. Seriously. + +We also enlisted some lefties to learn how different notebooks smudged and how comfortable they were for the left-handed among us. The result of all this testing was a cloud of notebook chaos which we distilled down to these picks, which we believe are the best of each of our use cases. That said, if you think we missed something, drop your favorite in the comments below and we'll check it out for future updates to this guide. + +Feathering +Ink bleeds from the edges of letters rather than creating crisp lines. + +Ghosting +Pen ink is visible on the other side of the paper. + +Bleeding +Ink actually comes through to the other side of the paper, or even the next sheet. + +Tooth or toothiness +Toothiness refers to the paper’s texture.
