Good Ink Pair For Midori Lightweight Insert?

[eepuppy]

I'm a fresh spring lamb to fountain pens (I own a Lamy Safari and a Pilot metropolitan, purchased as of February), much less purchasing inks for them and I'm looking for a happy marriage for my F nib Pilot Metropolitan and my recently ordered Midori lightweight insert. I have yet to receive it, I'm just plotting on how best to utilize it.

I'm looking for a quick drying ink, preferably colorful, that will play nice with the lightweight insert. (And with minimal chances of me closing it like an idiot before the ink has a chance to dry and ruining everything.) Doesn't need to be waterproof or any other qualities really, as I won't be using it for anything outside of writing.

Has anyone bought this particular insert and had good experiences? I am trying it at the recommendation of a friend, and I want to get full use of it to plan and take notes concerning my tabletop campaign plus day to day notes.

Unfortunately I can't answer your question directly, but I do have a suggestion. I ordered several sheets of blotter paper and cut a piece to fit my Midori.

I use the Midori lightweight insert for my daily journal and I have written hundreds of pages on this paper. All the inks I have used -from Pelikan, Montblanc, Iroshozuky, Sailor, Caran d'Ache, etc.. -require a few seconds to dry on this paper. I do prefer my fountain pens (F or M nibs) to write quite wet so if you use a dry extra fine nib, the wait may not be so long. My advice would be to keep a sheet a blotting paper handy to blot the excess ink if you are in a hurry to close your notebook.

I've ued Sheaffer Skrip Brown, Private Reserve Ebony Green and all variants of Bril without any problem.
