I only use the blue 4001 Pelikan ink with my pens. Yes it shines through to the other side in my Moleskines, on the cream cotton FF paper (do not have the white paper). But this is something I can easily live with; the writing on the actual page itself stays very well legible.<Lady Vaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692900982173810569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-62770935197047115432015-03-24T07:01:54.268-04:002015-03-24T07:01:54.268-04:00Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it depends...Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it depends on your writing style and taste I guess in terms of what width nib you use. I'm not an FP expert by any means! I do use one though, but I tend to use fine rather than medium size nibs. Less ink therefore less chance of bleed through. Certainly the FF cotton cream is going to be better than the FF White paper <br /><br />Quo Vadis inserts are Steve Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062727836545335187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-21780788228006563572015-03-24T06:06:33.899-04:002015-03-24T06:06:33.899-04:00Hi, Mark.

And of course there is always Smythson´s lovely blue paper (W2P), Sarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117536093989936960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-19442176680746317412015-03-24T01:51:00.493-04:002015-03-24T01:51:00.493-04:00Hi Mark.

Neither does the cotton cream, although depending on the type of ink nd how broad your nib is, it can be ok. I use Franklin Covey inserts trimmed to fit - it is a compromise I am willing to make so that I can use my favorite pen and ink. trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325410000145657117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-73204973795674037662015-03-24T00:59:25.102-04:002015-03-24T00:59:25.102-04:00Calling all you fellow fountain pen philofaxer'...Calling all you fellow fountain pen philofaxer's out there.......I know there's at least a few of you around....<br /><br />Wondering what inserts or paper do you use in your binders that you find works well with fountain pens ink.....<br /><br />Thanks for your input....<br /><br />MarkArchiMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369127935933420679noreply@blogger.com
