Baoer 388

These pens are indeed excellent, after getting my first one I immediately ordered 2 more - the nib is so malleable and wonderful to write with and performance with Diamine inks is pure pleasure. I may be mistaken but I think it even flexes a bit. My Parker IM Black GT totally pales in comparison.

I'm sorry about the photo - I don't know how to make the picture less blue - it's taken in daylight. Text should be dark brown and the pen dark green.

Lovely handwriting! I'm far from an expert, but if you switch over your camera's white balance that should help. Here in Scotland, my old Canon spends 90% of its time set to 'cloudy'.

Indeed, they are incredible pens, available for £1.65 (about $2.50) shipped from China. I gave 2 away at the weekend so I had to buy 3 more.

 

Regarding the white balance, you can salvage some of it, though once the camera data has been jpg'd, it wont give a perfect result. This was using the free program Rawtherapee (awful name, but great program) with the spot white balance tool selecting the paper (which I assume to be white):

I own the pen already and love it. But I've been jonesin' for a chocolate ink and now you put this up.....
