Even with a fountain pen, this paper doesn't feather or bleed. All the more remarkable when you consider how thin it is. It does allow show through on the reverse and the next page after that, but only in the same way a Smythson. Highly recommended.

As a leftie I agree with Carlos. It's fine at a desk or table when you've got time to wait for the ink to dry but not ideal if you're on the move. Some inks dry more quickly so I use a pen with one of them when travelling and I carry a blotter, which helps.

This very thin paper is a delight. I use fountain pens and yes, there is show through on the reverse but I have not managed to get bleed through or feathering even with wet writing pens. Remarkable.

As the person who wrote above, the paper doesn't feather or bleed, but it smears a lot through the paper while writing with a liquid-ink pen. Since I'm left-handed, it became a big problem not get the page dirty with my movements. The pen marks' dute to hand pressure also affect the next page

Despite what I read on FPN about bleeding through, the ink does not bleed through, may it is just more visible from the other side of the paper.

This is very well-behaved paper for how thin it is. The claim that it doesn't feather or bleed with fountain pen ink is true. However, it is not as good as normal plain paper with FPs - much easier to smear writing, and writing is very visible through the page - so if you use a wet pen, not for you.
