After reading several reviews finding fault, I checked 4 of the notebooks I have but not yet opened and both that I am using now. None have any flaw in the grid ink, paper , or cover. I mostly write with Pilot 0.3mm gel ink pens, and 0.3 to 0.5mm mechanical pencils. I switched and bought these notebooks to replace Moleskin notebooks. The pen and pencil write just as well. Gel ink does not smear at all if allowed to dry 1 second. I checked writing with 0.3mm gel ink pen on a Moleskin and it to smears if wiped with a finger immediately. The Miliko paper is thicker than Daytimer pages, and the feel of the paper is not as smooth as the Daytimer. A so-what factor for me. Daytimer paper is exceptional quality.
Just now, I tried 3 different highlighters and 10 other kinds of pens that were laying around. I buy all my writing things during visits to Japan because they make the best writing instruments and they are relatively inexpensive. They are a mix of gel and regular ink and ball sizes. I found no fault with how any of them wrote on the notebook paper. The square punch holes all look uniform. When writing, the notebook lies flat on the table, a useful improvement over the Moleskin. At meetings, I generally fold the front cover and written pages all the way around beside the back cover, to make notes. Something else that can't be done with a Moleskin. I did find that 2 of the notebooks had 1 slightly bent pair of rings half way up the spiral. This did not interfere with operation, but I just bent them back to look like the others, anyway. And that they use pairs of wire in the spiral is another quality attribute.
