Some Informal Comparison charts


Dudley

Recommended Posts

well, what we have here are some informal ink charts, basically its where i test my inks usually. The first one, we have in the back of my notebook for class. I wonder what do people think when they barrow the notebook... And the second one is a little neater, and is in the back of my Pocket Moleskine Cahier scrapbook.

 

Suprisingly, though the moleskine paper is super think and is sort of transparent, there is no bleed thru with any of the inks (pilot petit1 inks are the most prone ever). The other notebook is a japanese notebook and there is slight bleedthru with the green.

How do you like those Pilot Petit1 pens? I know that the pens are of different colors, but does each different color pen have that color ink in it? I see that they're available for cheap online but I'm not sure about the availability of the cartridges, which appear to be proprietary.

The Petit1s are fun to write with. They never skipped on me, and the colors are vibrant. The only issue with the ink is that sometimes it bleeds. Also it is difficult for many to write without posting the cap, and the cap don't stay firmly posted, so that is a big annoyance with these guys. Hope that helps.

 

You can get the pens and cartridges at Jetpens.com

Okay, thanks. Can you tell me how long the pen itself is without the cap posted? I have a small hand and can handle some pretty small pens easily. I routinely use a Kaweco Sport without posting it. So maybe I could use one of these without posting if it's long enough.

Thanks, Dudley. I enjoy it when people show their doodles because I don't have that skill.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
