I purchased the academic planner in August of 2021. The product arrived sooner than the estimated delivery. I was disappointed that the layout had all of the monthly spreads first and the weekly spreads after, instead of having the months in-between. I use fountain pens on a daily basis and was concerned the paper wouldn't work with the majority of the ink I use - which is what happened. I tested 20 inks and only 6 did not bleed through and/or feather. There was some ghosting with every ink tested. However, the planner is not advertised as "fountain pen friendly" and it certainly is not! My only other issue is that the 'top to-do' section is very, very narrow and it's hard to fit a task on the line. I wish the weekly mood was put next to the word 'SCHEDULE' so you could rate daily instead of weekly - that feels more useful to me. I like the monthly view in the bottom corner and how the current week is highlighted with a box around it. I also like the bottom portion that says 'Today's Notes'. The schedule section is probably more useful for someone who is un undergrad
What I wanted: A fountain pen friendly academic planner for use with my graduate program and my full time job.
PROS: Size, decent paper quality, started in August, customizable with my name, ribbon bookmark, weekly spread has room for daily misc. notes
CONS: Not fountain pen friendly (tested 20 inks, about 6 did not feather or bleed, all inks ghosted), some level of ghosting with all pens (even just gel pens), monthly spread is all at the beginning instead of between the weeks as the year progresses
Overall, I'm glad I made the purchased because I've wanted to try a Papier planner for a long time. However, I likely would not purchase another planner.
