Hi everyone,
Wondering if some fountain pen experts could help me with something. I purchased a Rhodia webnotebook recently because it was supposed to give good performance with writing with fountain pens (better than the Moleskine notebooks). I also bought some Noodlers bulletproof black ink. Used it in my Retro51 fountain pen.
My question is, why does the ink smudge so much with this ink/paper combination? Even after 30 minutes the ink wasn't dry; if you touch it, it would smear on the page. Granted, the ink wasn't coming through to the other side of the paper, which is what the original reviews said was so good about the Rhodia paper.
I am annoyed at this ink, because I will be using it to take notes in my Rhodia book. I need an ink that will perform well turning the pages fairly quickly... I may want to sell/trade the Noodlers ink for a more conventional non-permanent ink if that would perform better.
Thanks in advance for your help!
