Hm I'm not sure--normally when there are oils on a TR52 page, the ink just doesn't adhere well if at all.  It shouldn't be bleeding through or feathering.  If it's just one page and the rest are fine, could be somehow that page.  My Hobonichi Cousin 2021 has been completely identical to its 2020 version for paper performance and appearance.  

 

I frequently use a  water brush to do ink drawings on the margins of my Hobonichi Cousin, and then some inks can indeed bleed through--or rather some of the ink components.  For instance yellow or pink components from some brown or red Japanese inks I use can show through slightly on the other side.  I haven't seen any feathering in normal writing, however.

 

That's what I was pretty sure happened with oils (you can kind of see it streak on the page when that happens) so thanks for confirming my original thoughts haha. It might just be the single page (or at least I'm hoping)- I haven't seen feathering/bleeding in the pages that came before, and I had a minor freakout hah. I seriously hope that this is just an isolated dud page! And no watercolour from me- just a vintage Pelikan.

You could try to find the other part of the page if the notebook is bind using signatures. It will have no oils so if it the ink feathers it's a defective page.

I've just received cream and white TR blank A5 sheets from JetPens in packaging I've never seen before. It's not the typical Sakae Technical packaging.

 

(I know I'm replying to a post made nine months ago…)

 

As it turned out, Sakae Technical Paper did sell Tomoe River FP produced by the (then) new machinery with a slightly different technical specification (not disclosed as part of Tomoegawa's or Sakae TP's marketing), but made it clear on the packaging that it was the ‘new’ paper:

and the product has a different product code from the packs most fans of loose Tomoe River 52gsm sheets are used to seeing/buying.

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.

      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
