Can someone please suggest a specific type of pen they found to work well on this type of paper (e.g. no smudge, dries fast, looks nice). Thanks!

REAL good question!! I am in love with this pen but worry if there is a replacement tip so I have looked and am sorry to report thru my search if it wears out we are S.O.L. If you find one PLEASE let me know

Hi Kevin. We use charcoal for this book, and the paper seems to tear easily when we use the smudge stick. I honestly am not sure how a fountain pen would be, but I know it works well when we use watercolor paints without much water. I hope that helps.

It is strange that the Sharpie is smearing. Are you using a traditional, alcohol based Sharpie? Are you letting it dry before touching it? Are you trying to apply something over it? You might consider the Sakura Identi-Pen as an alternative. We have had good luck using it on this film.

I use them for illustrations. They're my favorite pen. I use them on a Strathmore bond paper, which has a smooth, even surface. The pens never let me down!

I use Noodler's ink. It is permanent, and I love the colours of the Eternal inks. (not all their ink is permanent, just the eternal/bulletproofs. Lamy pens handle noodlers, lamy and Pelikan well, as I have used these three in my lamys. Suggest looking at goulet pens. Excellent help there!

I tested mine with a sharpie pen and it started to smear. But it was fine with the sharpie marker... If that helps.

I would go with Staedtler. I've have tried everything on the market, and Staedtler is the best. The tips hold up very well, and there is no bleeding on any of the papers I use. I just love them.

I think I have heard to use rubbing alcohol...I tried heat...like from a match...dont do that! doesnt work. But seems like the pens that are the ones with japanese writing on them work way better then the ones that do not...I have had no trouble with clogging with them, the others...always!

A regular pen would work, but you'd need to be careful not to press too hard and rip the paper, it's very brittle. I've used it with students for years and the best thing is markers. I've used sharpies (which bleed through) and Crayola markers. If you're making something you want to last, I would also recommend laminating it.

I use a ball point pen that is out of ink...I would think any kind of a stylus that would not cut the paper would work..

Hi Thaniya! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) Our stylus pens as described on our listing page as follows: "Thin-Tip High Precision Universal Capacitive Stylus Pens", are just that thin-tip and precision performance and will work well for most note taking. We have never claimed in our description as "sharp, fine tip" as some have stated, rather we've described as I stated above because they are a thinner more precise tip than our other stylus pens. Hope this helps! Please contact us at the following link for a speedy reply to any further questions we can help you with. Here is the link:

None of my flair pens, past or present, by Paper Mate has what could be called a point guard.They have simply fine point felt tips. Great for handwriting, drawing, editing, etc. It could be there's a guard of some kind way down in the end of the pen cover but even with a strong light none of us here has seen something in there. Probably would have to crush one of the covers to see......

I have not had great luck using these pens on slick surfaces. I would recommend Slick Writers by American craft. They dry quickly and do not smudge on glossy prints or surfaces.

I have never experienced smearing with these on typical papers. A glossy paper might have an issue, but as long as you are using a typical paper finish you should be good. These pens are amazing and so vibrant!

Hey Caitie. I rarely use the pen so the ink hasn't dried up yet. I am sorry. Good luck and let me know if you find any replacements.

I'm using the Jinhao cartridges that always come up in the Amazon suggestion for people who purchased the pen. It did take forever for it write. I left it point down for a day and the next day it wrote great. So far it's the best writing Jinhao pen I have.
