It is dipless because you dip it less. Less than a normal dip pen, but you do have to dip it.

You can insert a 5000 series nib and feed into a J and write with it as a dip-less pen if you wish but it wouldn't work in the normal sense of a Renew Point. The feed doesn't have the needed ink channel to work properly as a reservoir pen.

Hmm :mellow:

 

Actually I think I would understand it more if you clarify what a dip-less pen is.

 

I associate fp as "dipless" since you don't have to dip it into it every few words/sentences.

 

Can you clarify that? So if you have a 5000 series nib into a J/SJ, you can't you fill it and use it as normally fountain pen (Level filler)? or can you?? :unsure:

Dip-less is what Esterbrook called their sac-less desk pens.

Ok..thats makes sense but what I want to know is if you got a 5000s series nib that is designed for a dipless pen, can you stick/screw it in a J/SJ and draw ink through it and use it like the 1000s , 2000s and 9000s normally or would it leak.

 

I know I'm beating a dead horse here.. ;)

Todd is the horse killer when he explains why you can't in the 4th post up from yours.

Theo- I don't have any 5xxxs, but I from what I understand it wouldn't leak. There just aren't any channels cut into the feed. If there aren't ink channels cut into the feed, ink cannot get from the sac to the tip- you may as well stick a cork into the section and tape the nib onto the pen. You picking up what I'm laying down?

 

A dipless nib is a normal nib with a feed. The feed sucks in a fair bit of ink, at least compared to what a dip pen would have stuck to it. Like dipping an unfilled pen, you can get a good paragraph or two out of each dip.

Thanks! It is now crystal clear...for some reason, the way Todd words it, it wasn't making any sense for me. :unsure:

      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
