Writing with Sharpies

So my favorite writing tool right now is the Ultra Fine Point Sharpie.

I love it so much.

There's just one problem: It just bleeds through normal mead five star/generic brand notebooks like crazy.

Are there any brands/types of notebook paper I should look for that wouldn't have this problem? How do Moleskine's work with Sharpies? Not that they would be my first choice, because yeah, ridiculously expensive, but I'm looking for options.

    Moleskine paper is extremely thin. You'd want some sort of heavy stock paper, like a sketchbook or something.

    And, even then, it's probably going to bleed through. You could probably bind some cardboard together, though.

    If you only write on one side of the paper, you can slip a thin piece of cardboard in between the sheets of paper in a notebook. If you're writing on both sides, this won't help so much.

    Alas. Any suggestions for a good pen that writes similar to a extreme fine point sharpie but won't bleed through?

    Uniball Vision Exact

    Although I personally prefer the Uniball Vision Elite, it does have a larger head.
