This isn't true for all fountain inks, but the ones that I use dry quickly enough that blotting just isn't necessary.

It not only depends on the ink but on the paper, and the usage. When writing long documents there's no problem, but when signing contracts (or initialing them) a blotter is very necessary because there's no time for the ink to dry before another paper comes on top of it.

Also, it's a cool object ;-)
