Fountain pen question
A few weeks ago I asked about fountain pens. And your advice was very, very helpful!
To try it out, I bought a disposable model (Varsity disposable fountain pen) because it was on sale and learning from a $3.00 mistake is better than a $30.00 mistake, especially when the difference is part of a medication that I need to keep me from getting very unhealthy.
But as I was using it, I found that on some things, the ink "feathered" out and sort of seemed to soak into the fibers of the paper. So my question is this - will a higher quality fountain pen have this problem less and is the problem of feathering about the paper, the pen, or the ink.
Also, I like writing with a fountain pen. I know that I need to eventually (when I have the money) invest in a much nicer one.
I guess my question is, is there any kind of fountain pen or ink that will not feather? I'm looking for something where I can write in my journal and on other types of paper. I love how my handwriting turns out when I use a fountain pen and I love the flow of it. Also, I love how it works when I draw things.
I'm definitely converted to the idea that fountain pens are awesome. So - the question of feathering. How do you get past that or is it just part of using a fountain pen?
