Agreed! I’ve noticed that even with wet inks, this paper allows fast enough absorption and drying that it doesn’t bleed onto the previous back page when I close the book.
Just realizing how important drying time is for left handed folks, that makes a load of sense! Archival ink sounds like a great option if that’s a priority. I’m curious if you’ve used any tools that use alcohol based ink. I know those are normally coloured markers but they might dry even faster.
I have not played around with them much because they bleed on other thin paper but I will give them a shot again, I like the way they write otherwise. Do you have a recommendation?
The only alcohol pens ive used were brush pens/marker tipped pens. Those ones were gifted to me by my sister a few years ago when she visited Korea and Japan.
I believe the brand was Tombow? The writing experience is different since it’s not a pen in my case (though I do know that brand does make alcohol ink pens, so you could look into them!) Even so, I like the brush tip sometimes so I whip it out occasionally.
I’ve heard people who use dip pens with alcohol based ink. I don’t write exclusively at home, so dip pens aren’t my thing. Pretty sure fountain pens and alcohol ink don’t work since the ink is too thin, but I might experiment with that!
