Well done, httpmom. Funny how the Nikko and Zebra are just so slightly different! Great writing too! Have fun.

The ink is Moon Palace Sumi (diluted around 1:3 diluted water to ink).

Pterodactylus, i do that all the time. lots of pens in rotation and i can write only with one at a time - ink has plenty of time to ripen .

I doubt that you did this with such a Noodler´s Ink (Golden Brown is similar).

It´s not a problem of sufficient sealing.

I had it in very good sealing pens, and even if the sealing is not that good something like this must not happen.

I have my pens also inked up very long, many months, sometimes up to years.

And when you have a ink in a pen for such a long time (and in that case not even a long time is needed) the good inks separate from the not so good/problematic inks.

 

This ink simply isn´t stable, If you would have inked it up and let it sit unused you would already observed something like this (it´s an amazing shading effect ink, but not a stable well behaved ink):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or maybe I´m completely wrong, this is a hidden feature.

It´s a undocumented hardcopy feature.

Mr. Tardif should immediately increase the price for it, and advertise the hardcopy feature actively.

for science: i have it in one of my pens, we'll talk in february.

@skysora Thanks! I have pens of all colors. I've just really been digging reds lately. Must be the time of year, because greens have been slipping their way in too. (And I'm normally not one filled with holiday spirit. Hmm.)

 

I really should share more of the writing/drawing aspect of it, not just the pens. *guilty*

Beautiful Photos as always Attilla.

I´ve had the Stresemann in the shopping basket 5 times over the past 3 days, and the thing that´s holding me back is choosing between a M and a F nib.

After seeing your post, I´m actually leaning more towards an EF nib. It really looks more like a medium than an EF.

 

Hope you enjoy it.

I just got a dozen Braham's Patent Pens Lawyer's Stubs from an eBay auction, and I love them! I have seen the Braham's Patent Pens brand pop up on eBay many times, but I have not been able to find any info on the company. I bought them largely because of the odd looking reservoirs that they came with, but they turned out to be a great buy. These pens are flexible, without being noodley and provide an excellent line variation, both as a standard stub nib and in flex.

Very nice! Always good to find another flexible stub. I'm a big fan of the dip stubs. Very cool!

 

So many manufacturers that have disappeared and left nothing behind. If there's a definitive history of steel pen manufacturers, I've not heard about it. Sounds like a fun project for when I hit the lottery and don't have anything to do buy troll eBay and archives.

I confess to being more of a person who posts when he has a new pen, than a commenter on the amazing pens and writing/artwork of my fellow FPNers. I will try to contribute more to provide encouragement and constructive suggestions to the good people of this forum.

It wasn't until last year I suddenly started developing a taste for black ink, so I'm always eager to see samples of different blacks. Thanks InkyFingers
