Planner Pen Test! Testing 20 Pens in the Happy Planner | Doodle With Me!

Doodle with me as we test out 20 pens in the Happy Planner!
My goal is to hopefully save you money so you don't have to go out and buy a bunch of pens to test in your Happy Planner. I'm going to be comparing the
cost, whether or not there is smooth ink flow or skipping, and investigating if there is any ghosting, bleeding, and smearing that occurs. I tried to pick a variety of pens to compare (rollerball pens, gel pens, felt tip pens, ballpoint pens, fountain pens, brush pens, etc.) because I realize that different people are going to have different preferences. In each square, I am drawing a doodle to see if there is any ghosting, bleeding, or skipping.

Pilot Metropolitan! Beautiful pen! Inkjoy and Pilot G-2's have been my faves, but you have given me some great ideas for branching out! Loved this video, thank you!

Thank you, Jill! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for creating this video, Lauren! You’ve shown me pens I’ve never heard of. I’ve been using the Micron pens and Frixion pens, but I like some of the other ones you’ve tried. 😊👍❤️

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

You are so welcome, Francesca!

I can still get the ink-joy, they have no intention of discontinuing it in Australia

The Frixion is not erasable. With heat, the ink changes to invisible ink. So imagine only using the Frixion pen. Leaving your notebooks, planners, or journal and your Frixion pens in a hot car. Everything becomes invisible. You put them in your freezer to bring the ink color back. Now all ink color returns. Anything you've "erased" reappears with the correction right on top of each other. No fun. And the dog no longer ate your homework. It just disappeared. Hope your teacher now provides a freezer. I'm just saying no to "erasing." I only have a few highlighters. I'm pleased to only have a small investment since coming upon this crazy disappearing ink, since I'm not 12 anymore. So great gifts for kids.

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

That would be frustrating to have that happen. Thank you for your comment, Carolina! :)

The other con with the Frixion pens is if you leave your notebook in your car during the summer (or anywhere hot), all the ink will fade. As a person living in AZ---this is a deal breaker. :) Just FYI.

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

Great point, Heather! I think I've heard that if you put your notebook/planner in a freezer the ink will reappear?

[@lwiener67]

Great video! How did you learn to draw?

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

Thank you, Linda! It took a lot of practice! A good way to get started is to try out a doodling practice sheet. Here is an example of a free one: thepetiteplanner.com/free-printable-bullet-journal-doodle-practice-sheet/
