Mentioning it just in case. There's blotting paper you can buy to dry the ink after writing. YMMV.

Source: grew up somewhere where children write with fountain pens at school. I don't remember smudging being a huge issue but it has been a while as well.

It's always interesting seeing Lamys being sold as the high end writing experience in one country and the standard pen for kids in another. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Both are equically true I guess :)


This is about smudging as a leftie, because your hand is trailing the pen if you write a LtR language like English. If you blotted every word or character before moving on you’d be there a while.
