[@chrisoforlando493]

Sailor carbon black is a much better option than platinum carbon black or Noodlers black or x-feather for bad paper. It’s as bleed and feather resistant as salix or other IG inks, but it flows amazingly well, and has been easy to clean out of most pens

[@srestha]

O noes I need more money to pursue my stationery addiction.

[@TheJeppesk]

Just be aware that X-feather is most likely also a pigmented ink. While this has not been officially confirmed, cleaning it out of a pen looks exactly like it does with other black pigment inks , which is very noticably different from cleaning out dye-based inks.

[@F2p7YshCn9]

I personally recommend Sailor Kiwaguro black ink. It's like Platinum Carbon, but it's easier to clean. I have it in a fine nib and I can easily write on Xuan paper (which isn't even meant for pens, since it's so fragile). I also have it in a Kuretake fude pen and the ink writes just as well as a proper Chinese calligraphy ink.

[@motea6252]

The last one got me DEAD! For the worst paper? 🤣!

[@RyoCook]

Happy new year! I love the Rohrer & Klingner Salix. I have this in my pocket pen as my EDC. It's perfect for documents (iron gall ink stands the test of time) and it has a great color. And indeed it's so good on both bad paper and on the great Rhodia/Clairefontaine. Don't fear the iron gall label. R&K managed to have a "new" formula and it's especially made for fountain pens. It works great with steel nibs. Love this ink.

[@JetPens]

Happy New Year! Thanks for sharing about your experience.

[@vagrantastronaut]

@@piolopscl In case you're still wondering, no, Salix dries out to be pretty light (medium tone)! It looks very aged and stylish especially on ivory paper. I highly recommend it :)

[@CharmEng89]

I generally use 70-80gsm copy paper for day to day stuff, and my work requires me to take a lot of notes. I've been quite happy with how my J Herbin, Pelikan, Sailor, and Pilot inks behave with them. Are they the best? Heh, I wouldn't know. Btw, the first option you listed has quite a lot of bleedthrough compared to the rest IMO.

[@UmitSeyhan75]

Can you give the exact names of the inks you mnetioned? Like Pelikan 4001 or Edelstein?

[@CharmEng89]

@@UmitSeyhan75 ooh gosh i left that comment 3 years ago and a lot has changed. What I learned is that for regular copy paper, you want to use a drier ink to avoid bleedthrough. Pelikan 4001 inks are good for this purpose. I have become more discerning/ picky about paper and ink performance since, and have stopped using copy paper in favour of FP friendly stuff. I can't remember the other specific inks any more.

[@Galactic_Star0]

Noodler's X-Feather is what Jimmy McGill used in that one Better Call Saul episode where he wrote an entire legal document on toliet paper, confirmed! 😂

[@istoleurprivileges5269]

[@dxdxdxdxdxd7125]

Pelikan royal blue is also a fantastic ink for a bad paper - no bleeedthrough or feathering with a japanese fine nib or a german medium(pretty wet writing pen too) writing on a fairly cheap 11 y.o. spiral notebook that seen it's better times

[@marisafarias9574]

Waterman’s Serenity Blue is seriously good, it writes great and is super easy to clean out of of the pen.

[@zosia_mi]

I was just going to buy some ink, so this is great timing! I will probably pick up a Waterman ink.

[@notoriusdrifter40]

It is pretty good.

[@notoriusdrifter40]

[@x-changex-outx-oner8224]

Never tried Waterman. Most of my inks are Noodler's with some Monteverde and DeAtramentis inks and Platinum Carbon Black. Noodler's has more than one type of black ink....I have them all except for X-Feather.

[@LovkynaPeral]

Did you tryed the Red Waterman ink? Its good? Rich red a search. I like R&K, Diamine Ink and Herbin and Krishna Ink. Have some samples.

[@aldotovar9231]

Waterman is well known for selling low-price, well behaved inks. I bought Inspired blue and Serenity blue and they're both awesome! I also got the Intense black ink. It's pretty good except for the fact it's not that intense😅

[@_MisterG]

I'm a teacher so I have the worst of both worlds - poor paper and forced ink colours. For that reason I tend to use Waterman Audacious red. I like the idea of the Pelikan, but it looks too orange to me.... for work, that is; I use a lot of oranges for other stuff!

[@azounx]

I'm using the Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Red to grade papers and it doesn't look anything like in this video. I can highly recommend it. (Maybe they changed the recipe at some point?)

[@ilovmayo0238]

Why didn't you include Parker Quink ink. That one is a gem. So affordable and so good. The pigmentation is perfect and it doesn't bleed on 70gsm regular copy paper. Its a must try for regular fountain pen users!

[@hyleenpognaire8134]

If Black then yes, but for blue, aah, even after 1-2 days I think, it fades and blue colour gets so fade its not as rich and legible anymore. And its seriously affected by any amount of water on paper

[@ladyflimflam]

Nib size makes a big difference. The pens I keep for any paper all have fine nibs. Same ink with a broad or fine nib behaves very differently.

[@calska140]

I use Waterman "inspired" blue in one of my fountain pens and it works great on cheap memo pad paper no bleed or feathering. One brand, that you didn't mention, that also works well on cheap thin paper out of a fountain pen is Monteverde ink's Yosemite Green. It's obvious I like writing with crazy inks. But those 2 colors are vibrant and fun. The Monteverde and waterman inks have some great colors.

[@PrazgreenStudios]

Very glad that each of these are decently affordable for their high capacity.

[@xlerb2286]

I remember in college the book store had one brand of note paper that worked well with fountain pens. All the others weren't any better than the paper towels you used in the video ;) And in those pre-internet days the only ink I could easily get was Parker Quink. Which didn't help the bleeding problem any though it did dry quickly. I still took notes starting at the bottom of the page and working up though, whether using a fountain pen or a ball point.

[@murdelabop]

My favorite black ink for use on ordinary paper is carbon black inkjet printer ink. At about $15/500ml it has the added advantage that it's super cheap. I'd bet money that's what Platinum Carbon Black actually is, but I have not yet had a chance to do a side by side comparison. I figured that if it wouldn't clog print nozzles designed to apply ink in picoliter droplets then it won't clog up a fountain pen, and for the past month, writing almost exclusively with it in three guineapens, I have had zero problems with it. As always, your mileage may vary.

[@murdelabop]

@TRS800 : The thing is that inkjet printers expect some feathering. That's how they mix colors in addition to the pointilist effect. I've used dye based inkjet inks in fountain pens and they feather and bleed EVERYWHERE. I might try again sometime with diluting them to see if that tames the bleeding, when I'm in the mood for another inksperiment.

[@sluggger]

For all the years I avoided using fountain pens it was always because I thought there was some specialty to them that would make them less compatible with my every day tasks of writing. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have yet to find a pen and ink combination that is so bad on even the cheapest paper that I have that it is unusable. I have never found a combination that is worse than the cheapest rollerball pens I have. (The only time I've found a combination that is unusable, it is because I'm not writing on paper at all, which is solved by ballpoint or marker.) The worst thing that will happen is some nice property of the ink will be lost/wasted on cheaper paper, and for that I reason I would say the best ink for cheap paper is whatever is cheapest. And indeed some of the cheaper brands like plain Parker, Pilot or Pelikan entry lines, all perform well on cheap paper. And one final note is that I write on a lot of cheap paper, and I've found some of the notebooks I've bought even from the dollar store work well enough that my nicer shading or sheening inks work on them and show the full effect.

[@mathilda6763]

the good German pronunciation really surprised me that was nice. :D in general I think the ink of most German brands that also have school pens (lamy, Pelikan, online, herlitz) will probably work fine with cheaper school notebook paper made for students and will do okay with printer paper... the kids have to be able to write their tests on print-outs after all.

[@barbarawest1205]

Although I try really hard not to write on crappy paper, this is good to know! Love my Platinum Carbon Black and all my Waterman' not a fan of Noodler's and need to look into R & K for their off-black shades. Thanks!

[@kecola]

Do you mind me asking why you're not a fan of Noodler's ink? My very first glass dip pens are on the way and that is actually the brand I was planning on trying. I've heard so many pros but would love to be informed about the cons as well. Thanks ahead of time if you reply 😊

[@mandarin1257]

@@kecola personal preference. The X-feather dries slowly, some don't like the color, cost etc. Noodler is a safe bet for what I've heard.

[@jaavm95]

I think the Parker Quink Blue ink also fits into this group. I use it with a medium point pen and 75g reed-based copy paper and it doesn't bleed through to the other side, nor does it bleed, it dries quickly and the Color intensity is good, but it is affected by water. thanks for the recommendation.

[@theodoretrisvei6762]

Royal Blue, is my favorite colour for a darker Blue, apart Turquoise, which looks astonishing and so aquatic in any paper.

[@Astyanaz]

I've found that Platinum Blue Black (iron gall) works well also. Many iron gall inks seem too, although I cannot vouch for them all.

[@mandarin1257]

My absolute favorite color is produced by brilliant green solution. Unfortunately, it is ethanol based, so it would ruin a fountain pen. But it's so beautiful!

[@standasebek5033]

Is there a black ink that would work well with standard moleskine? They have dropped their paper quality some time ago.

[@matildas3177]

All Pelikan 4001 inks are good for paper of dubious quality, I use the royal blue and it works great on everything I've tried so far!

[@catherinehubbard1167]

I especially like Noodler’s X-feather BLUE. It’s a beautiful deep true blue, smooth and well-behaved, and I haven’t had issues with slow drying even on good paper. It’s bulletproof, too. I agree about Waterman’s Audacious Red as an intense warm true red. I use it along with Diamine Meadow (a bright yellow-leaning green dark enough for legibility) and Noodler’s Southwest (formerly Apache) Sunset for annotation. I also like the gorgeous darker red, Diamine Red Dragon. I use Platinum Carbon Black all the time in a range of nibs and so far it has behaved well over months even in EF nibs. A great ink for writing and drawing.

[@ronaldojusto1532]

I own a 1970 vintage Meisterstück 149, M-size nib. It behaves greatly on my Rhodia paper, but only with it. I mostly often takes notes at work and I need a better ink to use on these ordinary papers. From the video I got the feeling of her using mostly F-size nibs. I own a Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black and it does really well with my F nib Lamy Safari, but it just makes a mess with my MB 149. I wanted to know if this X-Reader could work with a M-nib 149, before buying.

[@TheTanusaki]

That's a really helpful video but my concern with regular paper and fountain pen writing is not an ink that doesn't feather or bleed through (that's important too, no doubt!), it is mostly the damaging of the nib because of the abrasive nature and level of absorbency of such papers. It happened to one of my M nib pen, the slit of the nib was picking the fibres of the copy paper causing all sorts of problems.

[@JetPens]

Hi Soultana! That's a great point. Luckily, paper fibers in the nib slit won't cause any long term issues as long as you clean the the slit regularly. You can use a slim piece of brass or other material in order to "floss" between the tines.

[@TheTanusaki]

@@JetPens Hey! Thank you for your reply! That's true, however in my case I had severe railroading issues even after pen cleaning and maintenance and I believe it was because I was fiddling quite frequently with the tines in my effort to remove the paper fibres. I ultimately had to remove and fine tune my nib. Anyway, my point is that of course you can use low quality paper, the inks that you recommend are great for that purpose but I would highly recommend to use less expensive pens when writing on cheap paper. :-)

Also no Shallac inks, they will clog up the fountain pen feed unit and ruin the feed forever where you have to replace both nib and feed. 3 most important equipment for a good writing experience = 1) pen, 2) ink color & properties & 3) fountain pen friendly paper like { receipt paper, Claire Fontaine, Tomoae river, Campus, Mauruman paper [smooth coated paper but takes time for ink to dry]} Welcome to the fountain pen community.

PSA: This list is pretty bad for anyone looking in 2022. Platinum carbon bleeds through most papers without feathering. Use Noodler's black or heart of darkness or if you don't like Noodler's Sailor Kiwaguro. For blue nothing is better than Noodler's X-feather Blue but again if you don't like it then Lamy Blue is pretty well behaved. Blue-BLack use pilot Blue-Black. Red Use Sheaffer Skrip Red . The pelikan they suggested is fine but it turns orange. Also any parker Quinks will do great on cheap paper you just won't have any special properties like water resistance or anything

Hi there! In general, mixing inks from the same brand is safe. However, we still recommend a bit of caution: test out your mixture by adding drops of ink to a separate container (like a sample vial) and checking to make sure no precipitate forms. If your test ink looks okay, you can fill a pen with it!

Every bottle is sightly different in that it can be traced chemically to prove a signature was tampered with. It is also water washable even if dried in the pen. Cellulose in paper is what gives it's permanent binding properties. It even flows on a fine point nib. I was not impressed with Waterman's or Mont Blanc's ink at all.
