Its an interesting problem. Is this about saving ink too? How big are the spills when they occur? One drop represents hours of writing, yes?

An ultra-repelant stable table with small dimples might help to pool spilt ink such that you can suck it back up into your pen or whatever, no stable table would have the ultra-repelant chemical because its highly toxic.

We'd love to see your #useCase in action, just for our curiousity but also it would likely help an #industrialDesigner.
