Rocker Blotter

thingiverse

Fountain pens offer a world of variety with ink types, nib styles, and creative possibilities unavailable in regular ballpoint or felt pens. However, using fountain pens has its drawbacks such as smearing if the ink is too wet. To prevent this, rocker blotters are used to absorb excess ink without causing smudging. The traditional device holds blotting paper for easy use; one simply places the paper's edge and rocks it across instead of sliding it. A video provides a comprehensive demonstration, while the necessary blotting paper can be sourced from this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGsOU1EJumc.
