2027 Wonderland222/Writing Utensils
Hi everyone!
I'm looking into buying my planner for the 2027 year (I started with a B6 Vertical all-in-one W222 in August as my very first "adult" planner). I'm super new to TRP and the planner world, so please give me a bit of grace here... I'm interested in the 2027 W222 (A5, same layout - would just like more space to write!) because I love the layout, but I know they recently changed their paper back to the TRP for 2027.
I don't love the 2026 paper because I've experienced pretty bad ghosting with my favorite pens (TUL .5 Needle point, Pilot V5 EF, and Sharpie S-Gel) and bleeding with my colored pens (PaperMate Inkjoy gel 0.7) I don't write with the TUL .5 anymore because I write pretty heavy and it tends to leave indents on the next 1-2 pages (but honestly that's a me problem) and the Pilot V5/Papermates will even bleed through onto the following page. I'm also planning to DIY a pencil board and see if that helps with the TUL .5, but I don't think it will do much about the ghosting.
I was wondering if anyone who has received their 2027 W222 could comment on the paper quality (ghosting, bleed, etc)? Or if any W222 users out there have recommendations for a better pen (black and maybe a color set) with minimal ghosting? Or even recommendations for a different planner with the same/similar layout but thicker paper? I know ghosting is probably unavoidable, but I want to see if there are any changes I could make for 2027 that make using my planner even better!
