I'm a Filofax user, too. This year I'm using a Slim Organizer with week on one page inserts in cream. The paper is surprisingly fountain pen friendly, though I'm keeping it safe with Sailor Souboku. Aurora Black also performs well. The other inserts are also fountain pen friendly, with the lone exception of the blank note pages. My guess is because the blanks are not printed with anything they are left untreated, whereas the pages that have something printed on them have a coating or something that makes it FP-friendly.

 

Has that been your experience as well?

Yes, it is.  The FP friendly paper feels more polished.  The paper that isn't FP friendly seems to be less polished and has more 'tooth'.  That would make it more absorbent.
