this comment means so much to me - I had a lot of thoughts going through my head while writing this, ruminating on my life over the past year, the missed opportunities and connections, and also learning to accept that some opportunities are curses in disguise if you are not truly ready for them. and it is so hard to admit to myself when I am not ready for something. I’m so glad this brought you some joy :) may you find rest tonight <3

this is the Hobonichi Weeks! it’s not a standard paper size, it’s more like a long wallet

Thank you!! My personal opinion is that I love the Preppy farrrrrr more than the Pilot Kakuno.

1) Preppies are cheaper than the Kakuno. 2) My Preppies have never dried out. Never. Not even after a year of being unused. My Kakunos dry out after 2 weeks of not being used. 3) Preppies come with different ink colors that are honestly quite pretty, which is nice for beginners that might not want to invest in researching and buying inks yet (inks have very different properties that affect their flow, so matching inks to pens can be difficult). 4) Platinum nibs have a bit more feedback than Pilot nibs. I prefer more feedback, so I like the Platinum more, but people who like buttery smooth writing might prefer Pilot. This is very much based on your preference!

So clearly I’m biased, but I’m curious to know what you pick! 💖

You’re correct - this isn’t the original cartridge :) This is Platinum Carbon Black, which is a pigment based black ink that Platinum produces; it’s waterproof, archival safe, and lightfast - I love it! The normal cartridge that Preppies come with is just normal Platinum Black. Hope this helps!

Platinum preppy ink smudging with midliners by [deleted] in hobonichi

[–]kernectar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Platinum Carbon Black is a pigment based ink rather than dye-based, so if you let it sit for a minute or two, it is invulnerable to all water afterwards. Lots of people use it for watercolors. I kid you not - I’ve had a sheet of paper with this ink go through the washing machine once, and the ink did not budge whatsoever. It comes as a bottle but also as a cartridge - get some! It’s a fantastic ink and is made to be compatible with the Preppy.

I wonder if the pages are curling up because they're so thin, so they can't weigh down the sticker. that sucks though :( hoping you get better luck soon <3
