Around 70 GSM is the number behind Moleskine's most persistent complaint, and it is a specification rather than a defect: at that weight fountain and wet gel ink bleed through, so the reverse of a written page is generally unusable.
Full details →Who the Brother P-touch PTH110 Easy Portable Label Maker is for
Buy it if: Anyone labelling things that get handled, wet or sunlit, where unlaminated tape fails.
Avoid it if: Anyone making a handful of labels -- the tape economics do not justify the machine.
Who the Moleskine Classic Leather Executive Notebook Hard Cover is for
Buy it if: Ballpoint and pencil writers who want the build quality and the extras.
Avoid it if: Fountain pen users -- buy the 90 GSM Rhodia instead, which also costs less.
