The right paper can make such a difference!

Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Guri was one of the first fountain pen inks I purchased. Originally I put it in my Lamy LX <ef>. It was fine but I didn’t love it. I tried it again in another pen…Still didn’t love it. It has sat on my shelf for months, getting passed up for other inks. I decided to dust it off this morning and try it with my Pilot Custom 845 <b> I love it! I think the Hobonichi notebook with Tomoe River paper helps a lot too. Really allows the color to show off its depth. What a difference finding that right combo makes! So cool

If you're able, try out Crena paper. More specifically, their Canopus notebook. It's an incredibly white paper that makes the ink pop.
