Hi,

 

I'll be donating 100 pieces of Hero 336 to my daughter's school fun fair as lucky draw prizes as I thought it would be something unusual for the kids as most have probably not seen such a pen before.

 

Unfortunately, the pens do not come with refilling instructions. Whilst u and I know know how to fill it, the kids and their parents may not.

 

Does anyone have pictorial instructions on how to refill such squeeze pens? I'm thinking of putting them into the boxes.

 

thx

Nice idea to introduce kids to fountain pens. :thumbup: Only thing I'm wondering is if they'll just toss it when they try to write with it only to find there isn't any ink. Unless you're going to fill them beforehand as well?

 

As for a pictorial instruction, I don't remember seeing any. Maybe you can just take a picture and just add an arrow with the words 'press here for x no. of times'? And also mention that Parker & Pelikan ink can be found pretty readily & cheaply should they wish to refill it.

Looking to exchange ink samples! Available: Noodler's Bulletproof Black, Noodler's 54th Massachusetts, Noodler's Black Swan in English Roses, Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher, Noodler's Operation Overlord Orange

A very nice gesture. I don't know how keen the kids will be to go to the bother of purchasing and filling them. Maybe you should take along a few bottles so they can fill them on the day if they want and once you show a few kids I'm sure they'll be willing to demonstrate to others.

As long as it's nothing like my old school where the ink would probably have been squirted around the pens would have been used as darts. :)

No, I dont think I have the time to ink up 100 of the pens. If I take 3 minutes to fill up a pen, it'll be 300 minutes to do the whole lot. Once the ink finishes, the child and their parents still need to figure out how to refill it.

 

I think it's a good idea to take a picture and add the arrow. I'll also mention what ink to use in case they put India ink in it!

ha ha ha, i remember those days of flicking ink at each other and running away. each of us would be covered with drops of ink. it was most fortunate for us that we didn't have noodler's permanent inks back then.

Do you expect everyone to go out and buy a bottle of ink too? Maybe you should have a party to demonstrate and let everyone fill.

 

Mix custom colors to make it more "cool" and trendy.

Nice idea and gesture. Have you thought about YouTube? Recording the process and uploading it may be more on the wave of today's kids...just an idea. And they can watch it a hundred times over.

Good thot! I think I'll throw in a couple of bottles of ink/tissues like what murph suggested and ask the organisers to set up a pen filling corner. But I'll need to check with the organisers to find out if it can be done. I'm just one of the many prize donors and will not be operating the stalls.

 

Hopefully the kids won't start ink wars and start flinging ink at each other; those days were good fun :thumbup:

 

BTW, I've drawn up a little instruction sheet on how to fill the pen up. Will photocopy it and include it in the pen boxes.

 

Edited spelling errors.

I suggest you email Richard Binder to ask permission to use the instructions at www.richardspens.com.

      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
