Pens for marking up books

[Fisherdan]

Hello Everyone,

 

I'm looking for a pen that I can use for marking up and putting notes around my books that wont bleed through the thin paper. I'd also like one that needs minimal pressure to write to prevent indention through the back of the page. I would extremely appreciate it if you could give me some suggestions based on your experiences.

 

I have a budget of around £15 (for 1), and ideally I would like red ink. I've had a look around and had my eyes on [removed link], but not sure if its suitable for thin paper.

 

Thank you,

Dan.

You can't edit or share links until you have 10 posts. I assume you're looking at a Sharpie pen?

How about a pencil?

I think it really depends on the quality of the paper in the specific book your writing on, the thin writing Sharpie pens are the only ones I can think of that might work but if the papers thin I think it will probably show though a little no matter what you use. What about using a mechanical pencil for books with thin pages?

 

Hope you find something

I would use a fine point Pigma Micron 05 made by Sakura. They are made for archiving so the ink won't fade. They are also specifically designed not to bleed through thin paper, also priced at about £3 they are well within your budget.

 

I should add I have no affiliation with this company, I just like their pens.

Pencil. Anything else I've tried shows through, and is most irritating.
