When going through some old things, I found an unused pad of Selecta paper, in a Rhodia-orange cover, paper quite bright white, with purple-grey quad ruling. I have no recollection of this brand, but the paper felt fairly smooth, with just a bit of tooth, and the page has a nice snappy feel, which is unusual in my high-humidity environment. Overall, I found the paper had to be paired with the right ink, but then it was quite nice. Most of the inks I tried bled — all but the kon-peki and Platinum carbon. For more details, read the hand-written review below. There was minimal feathering, but many inks spread.

In the spirit of my earlier thread on this topic: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/70378-leader-pen/ I found a box of Leader and Brahmam celluloids that I had stored away. I had bought the entire stock from a shop that had these pens in one of my many pen hunts... I had totally forgotten about them but I think they deserve to be shown for the variety and beauty in the patterns... I hope you enjoy the pics! http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii197/hari317/Leader%20Celluloid/IMG_9301.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii197/hari317/Leader%20Celluloid/IMG_9302.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii197/hari317/Leader%20Celluloid/IMG_9303.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii197/hari317/Leader%20Celluloid/IMG_9304.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii197/hari317/Leader%20Celluloid/IMG_9305.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii197/hari317/Leader%20Celluloid/IMG_9307.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii197/hari317/Leader%20Celluloid/IMG_9308.jpg http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii197/hari317/Leader%20Celluloid/IMG_9309.jpg Cheers!
