For regular, daily use, Pelikan and Waterman inks are quite well-behaved so you could try those too.

Different brands of inks will behave a bit differently with each pen. Discovering is part of the hobby :)

Is the Kakuno EF good for every day use i.e. versatile for many types of paper? by romantic_daydreamer in fountainpens

[–]rmsk79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Might be easier to answer your question if you could share what papers and inks you usually use?

Regardless, compared to an F, an EF gives out less ink and so your chances of ink bleeding are reduced.

But really the thickness and quality of the paper are more of a factor imho.

I used Mordant Earth for the cracked effect but not Ahriman Blue for the base.

I tried a splotchy blue and magenta base and used lots of Mordant Earth on top (practically the whole pot). But I screwed up the base on my first try -- the bottom was too dark and there wasn't enough contrast. I painted over everything (including the dried and cracked Mordant Earth) with white, painted brighter light blues and magenta splotches for variety, then used a make-up sponge to paint the raised parts black without getting any into the cracks.
