A wet ink Feathers on poor paper.

Combine this with a good paper like Rhodia, and you have a hassle-free way to get some of the best fountain pen performance I've ever experienced.

No feathering on even really inexpensive papers

It does bleed through cheap paper some, but I have not noticed this with good stationery quality paper

Feathers and bleeds a bit on cheap paper

It flows easily from the nib and dries to a dark gray-black color and doesn't bleed when used on good quality paper.

It exhibits some good shading, even in fine-to-medium points, and only moderate show/bleed-through on cheap papers

Nice dark blue shade, when using the right paper (I use a black & red notebook), I get crisp lines with no leakage.

With a fine nib, it doesn't smear much, but it will soak through cheap paper

I use the pen for correcting student papers and to write notes in my notebook that I want to be comments on what I have already written in black.

The ink wont feather or bleed unless you're using cheap, low-quality paper

The black ends up a little washed out looking when I finish writing, but I'm sure that writing on cheap paper is to be blamed for that.

On cheaper paper where other inks might fuzz and bleed and feather, this one doesn't.

With the latter nib, the choice of paper becomes more important since more ink is flowing at a fairly quick pace, but if you find the right paper it works just great

The ink, expectedly, performs well on the "fountain pen friendly" papers such as those sold by Rhodia, or Tomoe River, but those materials are a touch expensive for me to use for scratch work

The ink takes a little time to dry, and the ink can feather a bit on the wrong paper

It prints through bad paper, so it is not for two-sided writing on bad paper

Very easy to use and ink works great on the correct paper

I do not recommend using it with standard notebook paper, however - you need something somewhat thicker, like a standard artist's paper or what you would find in the nicely bound journals you can get at the book store

Works great on good paper

It is not for two-sided writing on bad paper.

It does bleed through cheap paper some, but I have not noticed this with good stationery quality paper

I bought a pack in black and a pack in blue at first for my pilot metropolitan, however they behave very bad in regular printer paper or cheap notebook paper (Look at the picture comparison)

(Soaks in quickly to all but the finest papers; takes a little time to dry

My search for affordable fountain pen compatible paper continues

Only feathers on super bad paper, comes out perfectly, and lays down a solid black line

Good ink, bleeds on cheap paper but flows really well in my Pilot Falcon.

This ink writes just a tad too dry with the Fine nib, which makes the paper feel a little scratchy

This is one of the best-behaved fountain pen inks on bad paper; it only rarely prints through even bad paper

Only feathers on super bad paper, comes out perfectly, and lays down a solid black line

It dries quickly for fountain pen ink, and doesn't bleed through on the paper too much (and trust me, I'm not using any high quality or expensive paper)

Arrived OK!They work as
