Thank you all for stopping by! It’s like a huge game to find the best performing pen for the cheapest possible price. However, they’re often out of stock or sold out, so they are clearly still working on their inventory management skills. So far I haven’t mentioned the scoring system I used in the individual journal posts. Also, the alcohol art marker was pretty equal across most of the journals so I threw that one out too. Buke performed a tiny bit better than Eclectic Scribbles. Love to order from Paper Kooka coz the way my delivery comes it feels soooo special. If I were only looking at that one result, Buke would be in first place. Tekukor – There is no feathering on the page and the paper feels smooth to write on.

They have a B5 option. Yep, you guessed it… Archer & Olive and Scribbles That Matter failed hard! One big concern is the pen loop. There’s also no problem with the notebook lying flat when open. QiHeng failed with dye ink and Tekukor failed with a Sharpie Marker and both of them had a little bit of trouble with the swatch of fountain pen ink. With all the promotional videos I’ve seen from both of these companies, I would have expected watercolor (at the very least) to perform the best. I have amassed more pens than we need to mention here – but to summarize, I’ve been exploring the world of Chinese pens. With ultra smooth paper and no feathering at all, QiHeng takes the Gold Medal.

They have also spent a lot of time and energy listening to their community about problems with construction and correcting them as they continue to develop their journals. Are they trustworthy? Unless I am actually leaning over the notebook and writing on the page, the page looks blank from any distance. Their main business is making notebooks for other companies. For a $12 notebook, I’m highly impressed with this one. I’ve seriously wavered a dozen times about the difference between Tekukor and Eclectic Scribbles. I dug out my magnifying glass, to begin with, but that just didn’t give me the amount of magnification I wanted to examine how the ink behaves on the paper. FINALLY! Within 20 minutes I had spent close to $150 on journals (many 120gsm journals jumped into my shopping cart too – those reviews will be coming soon)! The Tekukor and Eclectic Scribbles performed almost identical and share the Silver Medal for pen testing. I just get my scribbles that matter but now I can really see that it is very rough paper, and it feathers a lot like in the photo of the archer and olive that you got. Tried Paperblanks because They’re just a little smaller, but no page numbers and dotted grid??. My promise to you is that everything you read here is honest, true, raw and real. You can read all about how I think they have “jumped the shark” in the full review (I get into a bit of a rant, so be warned). Dorothy – I responded to your similar comment in the review for QiHeng journal, but I want to make sure I address your comments here too. I have been searching for hours to find my mom the perfect journal/notebook for her birthday. Good performance in the Tekukor. They have a 120 and a 160 gsm version of the A5 dotted on Amazon. Whew!

What this means is that 1 of the supplies “sorta” bled through but it was closer to ghosting than it was a full-blown failure. I have added one of those to my list now. I was finally ready to find out if Archer & Olive was everything the interwebs were saying it was … or if there were some other notebook brands that could knock it out of the ivory tower it was in. See, if I take out the 2 alcohol markers from the list then there’s nothing left to “compare” because all these notebooks did just fine with all these pens. I just wish the design of the QiHeng notebook wasn’t such a blatant knockoff of Archer and olive..like the linen with constellation pattern is just a copy.

I’ve asked her if she plans to continue selling the notebooks and she says yes, so again, maybe I’m borrowing worry. I mean if I’m not wrong, the original few designs that A&O came out with are the bee, the moon and stars, and the Big Dipper, and the fact that QiHeng has an ant instead of a bee and a different constellation instead of the Big Dipper just seems to be getting into an intellectual/creative property grey area for me. Paper Type A3 (297 x 420mm) A2 (420 x 594mm) A1 (594 x 841mm) B1 (707 x 1000mm) A0 (841 x 1184mm) B0 (1000 x 1414mm) 160gsm coated paper on 5mm foamboard Oh STM, you’re a hot mess! The elastic pen loop – which matches the color of the elastic closure and ribbons, is secure and well-positioned between the back cover and document pocket with no major gap. ☺️✨♥️. You choose between an ant and a spider. Those types of notebooks have blank pages and won’t work well for bullet journaling. I’m highly considering them and just wanted an experienced opinion. I love my new journal and look forward to shopping again. Do you have any suggestions for a thick, lined journal/notebook – spiral or bound? The elastic pen loop is also attached securely between the back cover and document pocket with no concern that it will fall out of fail. The longevity of this brand rests squarely on the shoulders of the artist. They changed the paper because their “vocal few” insisted that they get thicker paper so they abandoned their 100gsm option completely. Have you ever bought something that you don’t need but you needed to have it because it was beautiful or cool? The loop is attached to the back cover between the back cover and the document pocket and there’s a sizeable gap that’s not well sealed. Several months ago I jumped headfirst down a rabbit hole of fountain pens and ink. As soon as I saw Tekukor on the list I kneeeeew it would be at the top. There are 10 different art supplies on the list. However, like the Buke notebook, the top of the pocket is really tall and butts right into the spine of the back cover.
