Hey all.

I love the Plannerism planner (http://www.plannerisms.com/) and even though it doesn't work as fabelously with fountainpens as the Rhodia-planners do, I've managed to find a working combo for me.
Front page: (I use the top set)
7832

Other side of page:
7833


Sample page of how I use it:
7834

Thought it might be usefull to people here.

Yes, and then some :redface:

I eyedroppered the preppy-pens, and bought the 03 ones especially for this planner. I switched the nibs of the Diamine Sunshine Yellow one and Sailor Sei-boku. The yellow works well with 05 and the Sei-boku less wet (easier to write more with.)

Strangely enough, the Collins Filofax/Franklin/Collins planner diary inserts for 2014 are FP friendly.
It just shows that although the Plannerism diary is made by Collins, the paper varies between their products.
In past years, Collins inserts have been like Filofax inserts - very unfriendly toward FP. The 2014 inserts were a surprise and bonus.
I find it easier and less pain to just print my own A5 inserts for Filofax/Collins/Franklin. That way you get the insert style/layout you want and paper that is fP friendly.

What paper do you use to print on? 'Cause my regular paper is far from FP friendly... :/

The best paper I have found was some cheap 75gsm from one of the 'Poundshops' but they no longer do it.
Xerox 'Digital Paper' works for 80gsm and so does the HP 'Everyday' paper.
Test them before you buy though - batches vary, with one batch being fine and the next poor. (Take your wettest,broadest nib pen with you to test)
The best paper to look for is one that is sugarcane based and is not recycled pulp.
Something like:

I would offer to send you some Xerox paper, but the cost of postage would make it stupid to do.
