What Pens Are You Using Today?

[inkstainedruth]

Noodler's Konrad with Pharmacist's Terra Incinerata iron gall ink, for pretty much everything today; and Parker Vector with R&K Salix, for writing checks, because the bank's electronic stuff frowns on any color besides blue or black.

Just used a broad nibbed targa to fill in a birthday card.

(He'll probably think I used a felt tip...)

As usual, I left for work today carrying my faithful Rotring ArtPens, and my newly-acquired ArtPencil (after a 10-year separation since my previous one got stolen, I finally managed to grab another one off eBay!).

The older one (open clip, looking rather worn) has a F nib, and is the main "beater", always packed with Rotring Royal Blue.

The green one is also quite used, with a 1.1 calligraphy nib, and running Rotring Brown.

The yellow is a recently-acquired 1.5 using Rotring Green, which I use for reviewing my students' reports.

The other black is another 1.1, and another recent member of the cast, using Rotring Red, used to review tests.

 

Apart from these, there are two further ArtPens that over the years suffered some sort of damage and were put aside. There are others, but this team is my daily companion. I'm quite frankly an ArtPen nutcase. I do however dislike some of these inks as they dry up very quickly and sometimes I have to keep a small bottletop with water by my side to keep them alive, especially the green one. But, having little choice around here, I try not to let that bother me too much.

 

Cheers, Eddie

[Esterfella]

For those of your scoring at home, today at work I'm usig the following:

 

Pilot Vanishing Point LE Bright Red with Medium nib, filled with Noodler's tiananimen ink; love the smoothness of the medium nib; I have one with a fine and find it to be a bit too delicate for me;

TWSBI VAC 700 Blue Demonstrator, with Fine nib, filled with Visconti blue ink; lays down a crisp fine line that does not seem to feather, even on crappy office paper; and

Delta Stantuffo LE Star pen, black, grey and white celluloid, with ink window, with Fine nib, filled with Noodler's midnight ink; my latest acquisition - loving it.

 

Cheers to everyone in the FPN community.

This week I'm using a TWSBI Micarta fine nib.

 

Earlier in the week it was filled with MB black, but as the nib lays a drier line, I swapped the ink for J Herbin Perle Noire and am using the pen as an eyedropper (I took out the converter, which I wasnt impressed with anyway). It's the first time I'm using this particular pen as an eyedropper, but it's performing well - especially with the Perle Noire ink.

 

I may well keep it in it's current eyedropper version, as the barrel holds a lot of ink (about 3mls).
