Is there a good contrast between the brightness of the paper and the depth of the ink? I got one that was gray on gray & couldn't see it well.

No, the ink is a soft gray and the paper is a soft white. I have the wine red one, and assuming all the internal printing is identical, it is not high-contrast. The dot grid is very fine, which is good if you want it to be unobtrusive underneath your handwriting in pencil/pen, but may not be bold enough if you require high-contrast printing for vision reasons.

Does it stay open on its own?

Yes. The pages will lay flat if you want them to stay open. When the planner is new, the book feels well bound and tight, but as soon as you use it, it responds to your needs. It easily stays open to write in the pages. You can leave the book open on a desk as your working calendar. I am currently using the 13th month (January 2022) of my dated planner from 2021. I have carried it everywhere. Every page is intact, still safely bound. I can open any page flat to write. I stick in beautiful stamps, ticket stubs, memorable cookie fortunes, business cards from restaurants where I enjoyed good food and good company. I make my daily planner a memory book by year end. All those extra pages, I use for my purposes, not necessarily for what is printed on the page. This planner is a gem for me. The quality of the production for past Legend planners was superb. I hope the sellers stay with their past production suppliers for future years. It is really a quality product. I love it.

Do you have to fill in your own dates?

Yes. To tack onto another answer, you fill in your own date numbers for months and weeks, but it does print the weeks as Monday through Sunday (European style) and the months as Sunday through Saturday (American style). If you start mid-week and go for a whole year, you might need to sketch in one more weekly layout at the back if you fill the whole thing.

Does the planner lay flat when opened?

Yes. The pages open well and lay flat for writing. If you choose to leave the planner open on a desk as an active calendar, it will work as needed. The well bound book responds to your uses. When the planner is new, it will be tight like a new book. As you use it, it adapts. After using my 2021 dated planner for all thirteen months (through January 2022), it is still completely intact and solid. I love the quality and layout of the planner. I have given several as gifts.
