Montblanc offers special blotting paper with rougher surface that absorbs ink faster than usual blotter paper; it is pre-cut for Montblanc blotter rockers but can also be used for similarly sized rockers in width and trimmed in length if needed. For deviating formats, A5 blotter pads from stationery trade (e.g. with ten sheets) can be used and individually trimmed, which is significantly cheaper. Important is sufficient absorbency of the paper so that ink residues do not smear.
