Not created equal
Inspired by this post https://www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/s/lkaAjMiJOh, I placed an order for several Staples Composition Notebooks.
To my disappointment, the ink bled through the paper like crazy. I think it's because the ones I got were Made in Egypt, but the OP of the other post got ones Made in India.
I guess even if it's exactly the same brand, exactly the same SKU, the fountain pen friendliness is vastly different depending on the country of origin.
