Idea 12: The Pen Test Log
The Pen Test Log
This is a pretty straightforward idea, you create a log where you test out your pens to see whether there is any ghosting or bleeding through the pages of your Bullet Journal.
For example, I recently I did a pen test at the back of my Bullet Journal to test out the new Zebra Mildliners I got.
Pen test for your Bullet Journal
If you want to have a little more order, you could add columns for the brand, what type of pen it is, and the nib size.

Do you keep a pen test log in your Bullet Journal?
What is ghosting/show-through?
This is when you can see the ink of the pen on the other side. This doesn't bother me, but understandable that it would bother others. Conducting a pen test will help you see whether a pen will show-through/ghost on the other side.
What is bleed-through?
This is when the ink seeps through to the other side of the page.
P.S. If you're new to the Bullet Journal®, I recommend checking out BulletJournal.com, it was invented by Ryder Carroll - he's an awesome human that walks you through how to set up your own Bullet Journal with his handy tutorial video that you can check out here!
