Planmas Day 7: The BEST Pens for Your Plum Paper Planner | Smear Test

[@kendyloneal1070]

I use the Pentel Energel in 1.0mm and I love it. It’s perfect. I have to have 1.0mm in everything. I don’t like fine tip pens.

[@debraboldan7372]

My favorite is the pentel energel 0.7 and the Tul 0.7, they do not smear and no ink on my hands. My go to pens for my planner and all of my writing

[@TinyDogTraining]

My absolute favourite is the Sarasa MarkOn. It’s designed to dry quickly so you can highlight over it.

[@willowpaperdesign]

Ooooo adding to my list! Thank you for the recommendation!

[@nichelleedwards1962]

The papermate and the sharpie are my favorites for the same reason 😂

You didn’t try Plum Papers recommended pens - Staedtler. The Staedtler Lumocolor Permanent work on the dashboard if you give them a few seconds. I’ve also used the Staedtler Triplus Fineliner - probably too fine for your preference but they have lots of fun colors and they work really well on Plum Paper stickers. Pilot G2 is my main favorite pen that I use in my weekly (and for all of my non-planner writing). Note that the G2 doesn’t work well on the Plum stickers - it ‘skips’.

I love Pentel Energel! That is my go-to pen for my Plum Paper. I saw you were using a .3. I use a .7 and it’s thicker. I prefer a thicker pen too.

[@willowpaperdesign]

Oooooo I need the .7!! The thinner pens are just a no go for me & the pentel was pretty magical! I’m trying out the Pilot G2 this week & it’s such an adjustment from the felt tip but I’m trying! Lol 😩

[@ebonitompkins]

Le Pen! I use them in my Plum for the entire planner including the dashboard. It takes a few seconds to dry but after that, no smearing. Plus fun colors!

[@willowpaperdesign]

Oooo adding this to my cart as we speak! Thanks for the recommendation! The dashboard is always a struggle!

[@JustScribble]

I've never had issues with the UniBall ONE, Zebra Blen (0.7), UniPin oil-based. Nice oy see you try different ones.

[@amandamoore1187]

I feel the same about the flair! I sometimes forget I have to give it a second! The G2 is the only one i will put a mild liner over, where my flair I will put the liner down first which bugs me sometimes lol

[@amandamoore1187]

I def think you should do a part 2 at some point with popular highlighters, because I think smear and highlight ARE different tests 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe I’m just a nerd and was the kid who didn’t ask for toys but asked for school supplies even as a 6 year old lol, but I would watch it 😆

[@willowpaperdesign]

I have a coming out in a few days related to highlighters, you read my mind! 👀💗

[@lostwithoutaplan]

This highlights page is Def hard. I do like the sarasa microperm here too. Expensive pens but they have a few diff thicknesses.

[@teacherladyabc1124]

Side note-love your red star! I use pencil unless I am writing on a sticker😂

[@creativelyallie]

You should try the sharpie S-Gel pens! I recently ordered them because my friends can't stop raving about them! It says no smear, no bleed technology, so it should be good, but I haven't tried them myself yet!

[@willowpaperdesign]

Okay I’m ordering it right now! Thank you for the recommendation! I am open to anything!!

[@TechGirl84]

I’ve been using Pentel Energel for a long time in my Plum Paper. But I’ve found that Sharpie S-gel is just as good, and it’s actually cheaper. But I like the variety of colors that the Energel has.

[@tvmom]

The G2 is the worlds most stolen pen. I had to put nail polish on mine to keep people from stealing them at work.

[@willowpaperdesign]

That’s hysterical! It really is a great pen!

[@kylewinshiip1616]

Hey just wanted to tell you that you should try the energized gel uniball the first one you tried but in the 207 size that is a very nice and in rights way bigger than the one you had also another very nice pen that I found to like riding with is a pen brand called TUL

[@willowpaperdesign]

This is great! Thank you for the pen recommendation!! 💗

[@brandeesteffens1344]

Do you know how the Frixion erasable pens work with Plum Paper?

[@donnamook5172]

Frixion works great; even on the dashboard ;-)

[@willowpaperdesign]

I have purchased SO many pens lately but you have now convinced me to try just ONE more. lol

[@donnamook5172]

@@willowpaperdesign I get it. I'm so used to being able to erase now that I'm afraid to use anything else :-). Personally, I use the tip you hate 0.38, and I think the .70 is too fat, but you might like the .50. Have fun!

[@TheTonyayoung]

Frixion works well. No smearing and erasable. Even on the dashboard.. Same for the highlighters. Also Erin Condren felt tip works well, no smearing.
