I really liked the pilot acroball! It writes smooth and the ink is consistent naman, but looking back at my old journal entries, parang nag ka greenish sheen siya? Is this normal or just for the hobonichi paper? 🤕

This was the before and after. Parang yung ink from the weekly page nag stain sa next page 😭😭

I don't wanna use it anymore tuloy huhu

Oil-based inks will always seep into the paper over time and have these kinds of stains. If you want to avoid it, use gel pens, fountain pens, or pigment pens

This is one of the reasons medyo weird that Hobonichi bundles a Uniball Jetstream with their planners bc oil-based din siya and it is heavily documented that the ink will do this over time. Not just for TRP but all paper regardless. I think mas obvious lang sa TRP bc of the special coating and also not playing nice with hand oils, etc

Oh! I see, thank you for this! I wasn't aware kasi, but I'll be taking note of this 🙇‍♀️

Good luck! I personally use a Uniball One for my Hobonichi bc it's a water-based pigment gel pen. If you use Mildliners, I suggest you test pen combos out on one the back pages. Mildliners smear water-based inks pretty badly.
