Stipula T-Flex Question

[suzi_scribbles]

Hi all - Stipula newbie. Wondering about their T-Flex nibs. I think Ive seen some titanium nibs of theirs that actually have t-flex imprinted along the bottom, but others just say Titanio. Are they one in the same, regardless of imprinting? Or does the one thats stamped with the t-flex have a bit more flex? Just curious

Isn't Titanio Italian for Titanium?

 

I have two Stipula 22's which are good writers. These nibs are 'soft',if you try to flex too far they will be sprung and will not return to normal.

 

Do not have a T-Flex which maybe different in terms of over flexed = sprung

You would have to apply a fairly serious amount of pressure to spring them. I have a Model T with the t flex. It was very soft but with quite a nice spring back. It was extremely wet and had feedback like a pencil. The Orient Express has a titanium 'titanio' nib which is much smoother, less wet (but not at all dry) and a little firmer with a lot less expression but a lovely nib. Im really not sure if they are different nibs or the same or if Stipula just has an inconsistency of nib. The t flex nib is about as tough (I'm not talking feel) as the Pilot Falcon and I suspect the Titanio is tougher again, but I generally don't push them. The expressiveness of both nibs is the same as the Falcon (If you pushed the Titanio a bit), so they can flex but if you're after a flexible nib you might be disappointed.
