Picked up some more Tomoe River paper since it's been working well for me (especially under UV) and I also ordered a pad of Midori MD Cotton to try.

So far it's comparable to the Tomoe River under UV. The paper doesn't react much at all. It does have some flecks here and there that react, so not as uniformly good as Tomoe River, but it is lighter overall, so they are both good in different ways. Both are much better than the others I have.

Photo of two writing samples on different paper. Each identifies the type of paper upon which it is written.  The top sample reads "Midori MD Cotton" in glowing bright blue ink. The paper is blank, white, and also has several flecks of bright white visible.  The lower sample reads "Tomoe River S Kanso Notebook" in the same blowing bright blue ink. The paper is slightly darker than the top sample and has a visible gray dots in a 5mm grid pattern.

Apparently my goblin brain was in charge last week, so I also added several other things to my "paper" order. Including a pack of three Sakura Gelly Roll UV Gel Pens.

Not fountain pens, unfortunately, but still UV ink in different colors that are pretty nice. Very thick, very bright lines under UV. And unlike the fluorescent inks I posted about the other day, these dry invisible like the Tramol UV ink.

Here is a writing sample of all three under a line of Tramol Turritopsis Nutricula.

Four lines of pen marks on paper, each consisting of "XX" and then a looping line that curls back on itself.  The lines are glowing brightly under UV light.  From top to bottom, the colors are:  - Tramol Turritopsis Nutricula glowing bright light blue with a super thin line. - Sakura gel ink glowing thick and blue - Sakura gel ink glowing thick and red - Sakura gel ink glowing thick and green
A blank sheet of paper with a 5mm dot grid.  On close inspection some indentations are visible on the page, but no visible writing.
