It's designed to write well even on newspaper, so it'll work on any kind of planner paper you use. I use it on my pocket and personal Urban, and it works just fine in practically any pen I use. It's also cheap, and waterproof.Daximillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902074674892525955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-27141159244046190132011-06-10T21:24:03.312-04:002011-06-10T21:24:03.312-04:00Thanks a lot for everyone's suggestions.

Though I can't speak to calendar paper, I use cream ruled paper as a journal -- there's no bleed through and very little ghosting for me when I use fine-point "dry-writing" fountain pens. For me that includes gold-nibbed pens like the Lamy 2000, Sailor 1911, Parker 100.

I read about it online and it really worked a treat. However I would advise caution as Steve says - just do a tiny bit to see if it works first, then if it does gradually do more but don't soak it, just dab with a cotton bid.

Then lift it off, it should remove all the dust and dirt without leaving anything behind. <br /><br />You might have to do this a couple of times with different bits of tape to clean it all.
