Doesn't one need to be choosy about paper to avoid ink bleed? That was the reason I gave up on fountain pens. IIRC, even with specialized bleed-resistant ink, bleeding was a problem on common (i.e. cheap) notepads and notebooks.
- nextos 6y agoIt depends a lot on the nib and the ink. With an adequate nib and ink, you may write on any paper. For bad papers, I have had a lot of luck with Pilot F or EF nibs and Herbin Lie de Thé ink. It's a dry setup, but not too dry, and that Herbin has just enough lubrication to make it pleasant.
