Hi All ...
Need help...
Where can I see Danitrio nib strokewidth samples?

That's great Kevin.

Is it possible to compare all the flex and non-flex nibs, including stub, on the Mikado models, drawn next to a ruler ?

Thanks, Peter

OK, if any of you laugh at my hand writing, I will not sell you any pens.

I made a mistake, the "flexy B" should really be "flexy M" I don't use B nibs, so don't have one inked.

the Flexy Stub is 1mm without pressure, but as you can see, with pressure it can go pretty wide.

Sorry for the delay.

Best,

Kevin

Ooh, I like the look of the flex EF.

Any FPN denizens have one? Kevin, how would you rate the flex EF for smoothness?

P.S. Kevin, feel free to send me a half dozen Danis or so with varying nibs and I'll be HAPPY to write out a sample page for you.

(You might even get most of them back.)

I use a flexy EF at work, smooth and wet, yet I don't have to wait too long for my prescription to dry

Best,

Kev

I notice you are not jumping to send me all those pens.

Cool, thank you.

Hi Kev...
Thanks for the sample...

Are they 5mm squares ? (the paper)

The Cumlaude ... they are not flexy nibs are they? What nibs are they?

Yep, 5mm.

The Cumlaude is an older model before the flexy nib days, so they are standard stiff iridium M nib or 18kt M nib... although, if I have time, I wonder if I can fit it with a flexy nib.. mmmm....

Thanks Kevin
