Good journals/planners for fountain pens? in c/fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu

[–] pixiecata@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I use a Hobonichi techo planner and grid notebooks. I also use Midori grid notebooks. No feathering on both, not too glossy so my nib doesn't "skate" on top. I like Rhodia pads (some of the notebooks feather). Clairfontaine is lovely smooth paper but my pens usually "skate" on it and I can't control my handwriting on it, but YMMV.

Any tips to get water out of a converter in c/fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu

Sailor and Platinum converters are easily disassembled/reassembled.Try it :)

My Curidas dries out faster than my Vanishing Point or my Majohn A1. I think the plastic trap door sometimes doesn't close fully, which I think is a design flaw. Too bad, because the EF nib is really great.
