Absolutely - l use fountain paper on the cartridge paper every day. it doesn’t feather or bleed. you can use a wide range of artist media too, including marker and brush pens, charcoal, pencil and even a light wash of watercolour ( I wouldn’t soak the cartridge paper pages, but the cotton paper pages are super strong and will take wet media.
