Hot take: I just threw out $45 worth of fancy metallic pens because they smudge on my journal pages.

I bought them online for a special gratitude spread, but the ink never dries on my 160gsm paper and ruins everything I write next to it, so has anyone found a good brand that actually works?

That's a shame, those pens are great for other things like cards or posters. Maybe try a different paper instead.

Totally, @caseywalker gets that struggle.

Ugh, that's so frustrating when a tool you're excited about just doesn't work for your setup.

Try a smooth Bristol board - works like a charm for me.
