is it too late to reply this? :-)

anyway, i saw this "journal guy" in a local art fair.
but he is not sure if his paper would take FP ink.
he said gel ink & ball point are safe.
but i told him since i'm a Luddite, i don't use those pens.

i was not sure so bought a small jornal book ($25).
strange that most people would buy those beautiful journals yet use yucky, cheap pens to write on them.

so far, the paper is a little rough cause it's not commercially made. but does not bleed (Noodler walnut).

regards,
