I write with fountain pens and the ink bleeds through the paper with slightest touch and bleeds like tissue paper

I have had no issues with smeared ink and when I make a mistake pencil erases easily without leaving a mark

Inconsistent ink on pages

Ink from pens bleeds into the sheets more than all other engineering pads I have used.

Many/most inks bleed badly

The other one had a dark green ink blot (a little bigger than one of the squares on the graph paper) on every single piece of paper (in the same spot).
