My Fountain Pen Is Writing Dry Sometimes And Wet Sometimes


Needhelp

Recommended Posts

My pilot capless decimo sometimes writes really dry but not too bad but it is usable and sometime too too wet and the ink like mushes my handwriting and bleeds and feathers through the paper so all the e's and l's are closed with ink. So any fixes? And this is not a problem with the ink as before or when i got the pen it was good. The nib is and 18k fine.

 

Thank you in advance

 

Ps- the leaking issue has stopped and the pen writes well so no problem with the writing experience so its only that problem above.

Sounds like you are wrist writing; allowing the nib tip to rotate in relation to the paper.

And another sentence i do not understand! Im sorry though and anyway forget about it because my cartridge was getting low and so i put a little bit of water and then soaked the nib with toilet paper untill the ink in the cartridge went to the nib and now it dries faster, writes smoother and the ink got a tiny bit lighter but it was the ink and not the pen so sorry about that. And ofcourse it writes drier than before.

      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
