Classic design just lasts forever.

But is it really that big of a deal?

My buddy had the same issue with pearl white last year. He mixed a little base into the clear like you said and it fixed his blend line.

Did my friend Lisa ever have a story like yours? She decided to decorate her work planner with fancy lettering and metallic pens. The ink soaked through just like you described, making her schedule a blur. As a project manager, she needs her notes to be sharp and quick to read. She spent hours fixing it, only to go back to plain bullet points. Now she sticks to functional layouts that don't fight her during busy weeks.

Tbh, I used to not get it. But knowing how much time they put in changed my mind.
