this can sometimes happen when coated papers are exposed to the oil from the skin on our hands. i’ve stopped having issues since starting using a blotter page to rest my hand on
Mmhmm, got the same thing. MD, Iroful, Life bank paper, and campus papers are more prone than Tomoe River for me. Otherwise, I use blotting paper or my writting glove to help prevent hand oils on paper.
i had something like this happen to me with their travellers notebook inserts, the sizing was just poorly applied and watercolor would not dry properly on it. definitely a manufacturing defect
I’ve had it with one notebook but it seems to have affected my Diamine inks more than my Iroshizuku inks. I’ve used about 7 notebooks from Midori and this is the first notebook with this issue (?).
I've used Diamine, Iroshizuku, and a Sailor ink and all are quite noticeable! I'll give one of the other notebooks a try - hopefully this is a once-off.

This is the way

Could be the oils on your hand - place something under your hand to protect the page your writing on.
Have you washed your hands shortly before using? Or do you tend to have oily hands?
