263 - No Bleed Thru!
I finally found a book of manuscript paper that doesn’t bleed thru when using it with a fountain pen. In case you’re interested it’s by Clairefontaine and is formatted like a tablet instead of a bound book - that is, the binding is on top so the pages flip over.
What’s especially nice about this paper is because the ink doesn’t bleed through, it stays on top of the paper and dries with way more interesting tonal variety. This adds extra aesthetic depth to the appearance of the manuscript, something that’s lost in my abc transcriptions.
