Postcard Swap

I noticed a comment recently that the photo backings made by The2Buds.com weren't fountain pen friendly. I've never tried them, but I've had good luck with "PhotoPOSTOS" (www.photopostos.com, PhotoPOSTOS, 132 Garden Street, Suite 3, Santa Barbara, CA 93101...no relation etc.). They work well with a fountain pen with little or no feathering, etc.

I wouldn't say they weren't fountain pen friendly - I had some feathering but not horrible. I'll let you guys be the judge as you will soon be receiving cards using them.

 

But it's great to have another option.

 

Thanks.

Mine are also made with The2Buds. Feedback from any who have received mine would be appreciated. I don't use waterproof ink, so I coat them with candle wax before mailing. Wondering if it holds up OK.
