  • Black Paper Planners — The Original Blackout Collection

    Lights Planner Action pioneered the blackout planner, and we've been perfecting it ever since. Our 28lb (105gsm) black paper is silky smooth, designed to prevent ghosting, and works beautifully with gel pens, metallic markers, and even light watercolor washes.

    Every blackout insert is printed in-house with your choice of gold, silver, or white metallic ink — pick the vibe that matches your aesthetic. We offer blackout versions of our most popular layouts across all sizes:

    What pens work best on black paper?
    Gel pens (like Sakura Gelly Roll), metallic markers, and white Posca pens show up beautifully. Our paper is also compatible with light watercolor and acrylic paint pens.

    Is blackout paper the same as black cardstock?
    No — our blackout paper is a smooth 28lb writing paper, not thick cardstock. It's designed specifically for planning and journaling, so it lays flat and takes ink without bleeding.
