I bought some uniball 207 pens as per advice from this community;
however, I really prefer a 1.0 point. I was wondering if anyone could
provide any insight on another uniball gel pen in 1.0 size, in terms
of whether the ink has the same anti-check-washing properties/
longevity, etc, that make the 207 so great for moleskines and keeping
a permanent journal.

Thanks for your help!

Prior to using a moleskine, I was using your standard black and white
compostion note book w/ the uniball signo 207 .5mm, however now I have
been using a moleskine, I find that the ink never completely dries and
is prone to smudging/ smearing as I am thumbing through the pages of
my mole. Very dissapointing, I am considering returning to the
composition notebook. I have to choose between my favorite pen, or my
favorite notebook. Argh !

I had the same problem until I got the right pen. Here is the solution.I use a Pilot Precise V5 - Extra Fine Point - Black

This is a gel pen that is pefect for Moleskine note books, it dries immediately and is readily available at any Office Max Store

The V5 is actually a liquid ink pen, not a gel. Pilot's V-series pens
all use liquid ink - the 'V' refers to the ink feed they use.

You probably want the Gel Impact, or UM-153. It's the same Signo ink,
but has a 1mm tip, writing a 0.6mm line. There is also the UM-152,
the retractable version of the same pen.

The Uniball Vision Micro is my favorite pen for my moleskine, though
it also comes i a slightly thicker point.. It's fade-proof,
waterproof, and according to the email I got from customer service, it
is indeed acid-free--that's permanent enough for my intents and
purposes. :) The ink is watery enough that it makes quite a thick line
on the moleskine paper, but dries quickly.
