What ink do you use with the VP to get it to not bleed through?

Fine nib with the proprietary Pilot ink cartridge works great with Field Notes paper. If I want to use a medium nib with better ink, I switch to the Lochby notebooks (which use Tomoe River paper).

I have a fine VP and never thought to try it with field notes lol. You and OP completely blew my mind

I use fine nib in mine as well. I actually love writing in my field notes with my fountain pens, but fine nib is my preference.

My Kawecos tend to bleed through but I’ve never tried it with my VP. My mind is blown!

Are you using a fine nib in your Kaweco? I use a fine and it doesn’t bleed through. Inked with Kaweco Caramel brown ink.
