A Paper That Makes Noodler's X-Feather Ink Exhibit Feathering


A Smug Dill

Recommended Posts

(The topic title notwithstanding, this is not really about the paper, but the inks in question.)

 

Usually Noodler's X-Feather is so good at resisting feathering, I could write on a run-of-the-mill paper napkin with it using my Rotring 400 pen with an EF nib, and it would barely show any feathering; furthermore, soaking said paper napkin afterwards still would not induce feathering.

 

Imagine my surprise to see writing done with that pen and ink feather earlier tonight, especially when Sailor seiboku does not appear to feather on the same paper to anywhere near the same degree.

The paper in question is one of these adhesive labels: Avery-branded removable white rectangular dispenser labels

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Wonder if it's the thickness of the paper with the adhesive behind it, and with X-feather sitting on top, whatever did penetrate blow it, radiated outward thru the stray filaments, whereas the sailor just radiated down and out right off the bat.

That'd be my guess on it.

It is possible that Avery uses the same type of paper for its inkjet labels, but this narrow roll of labels I'm using is definitely not for inserting into any (consumer market) printer I know of for printing.

:P Moleskine is only meant for Pencils and ballpoints and not Rollerballs or Fountain pens (their words), but yet people still using it. :D\

xfeather will feather on a lot of different stuff. I honestly found it pretty unremarkable, feathering wise. If feathering/bleeding is absolutely not allowable, the only ink I know of that pretty much cannot and will not feather or bleed is diamine registrar's iron gall.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
