Hobonichi users, how do you manage writing several pages a day?I know I'm super early, but I'm considering getting a Hobonichi to journal. I already have a A5 notebook that's almost full, but I don't really go back to it (because it's a chore knowing what day it was for specific entries, although I might just not display it enough), and I'd spend weeks not writing at all for some reason. I think having a journal where the dates are pre-written might help.The thing is, when I write entries, I tend to write several pages. Is there a way to "work around" this, or are Hobonichi just not for me?#journaling #hobonichi @journaling@sh.itjust.works

Don't know if you're aware but there are a few permanent inks for fountain pen that are available. They are not india or acrylic inks (those will kill any fountain pen) but real fountain dedicated fountain pen waterproof/water resistant inks. That's what I use for my watercolors. I can suggest:

  • the German De Atramentis Document inks. That line, specifically, Quite a few colors are available.
  • Platinum Black (to get a superb very black black)
  • I've also had good experience with Rohrer & Klingner Sketch ink.

They are rather flat inks (I remember you mentioning that in other discussion), the flatter being DeAtramentis and Platinum, but Platinum still feels much smoother. They all work fine with my a Lamy Safari F or EF.

BTW, Platinum Black is the same brand as the Platinum Preppy cheap fountain pens and they work together flawlessly which makes them a great duo four outdoor use ;)
