Oh, I totally forgot about that - I love those, too. They almost glow.
What I love about the Zebras and Gelly Rolls, both, is that they seem to me to skip the least, and blotch the least. I did discover, however, that one has to be patient when writing journal entries with them - they don't all dry instantly, and if you're too quick to turn the page, you get spotted pages.
And I have no idea what the staying power of the ink is. I used to keep my journals in 5 x 8 spiral notebooks, just the ordinary sort you find at Staples or wherever. And I kept them with whatever pen I felt like using. Discovered a couple years ago that the oldest ones written with the Bic purple ink are developing a "glow" around the letters...
So, now I keep my journal in Levenger mid-size journal refills that I believe are made with acid-free paper, although I'm no more selective than before about inks. Ah, well. Who's ever going to want to read my old journals, anyway, except me?
