Review of Camlin Trinity:

[agraguy]

Hari, what should one do with the pen if it takes some time to write after its being used after a while. esp if it does so everytime. (how to get instant writing every time)

also, is there way for my chelpark ed filler pens to make their writing a little drier. coz they are too wet.

 

 

Hi Hari, how do you rate this pen. esp how do you compare this with pilot tank, and wality 69 TL.

 

I did use a Trinity for a while. I think it is an ordinary pen, just OK. I feel the 69TL is better made, has the bigger size that i prefer. But this is just my personal opinion, other's opinions will vary. The Pilot tank is a very well made ED pen for the money.

although it writes okay but camlin trinity doesn't give me the feeling of a 'Fountain Pen'. it rather writes like a smooth, wet ball pen.

Thanks for the great review and everyone's help on Indian FPs especially Kevin from FP revolution and Hari!

 

Would a Camlin Trinity be better than the Chelpark Moti? Both of them appeal to me but I want to know which one is more smooth and wet to write with. Another pen I like is the help ark soldier it looks good and is extremely cheap but looks quite basic

 

I have also heard both brands have good inks and I have seen some swabs and were they good for the price!

I am interested in Chelpark Sapphire blue but no one has reviewed it

One last question - Camlin or chelpark blue?

I have this pen - Camlin Trinity, and it skips a lot !

 

I flushed the pen many times with water but to no avail. The nib is fastened so tight, that it is seemingly difficult to pull out.

I've got one, and it is one of the pens I keep coming back to. Comfortable to hold, and a smooth reliable writer. Skips occasionally but not that often. Although I did discover one disadvantage with the flexibility when it comes to filling. I once opened it up to check how much ink was left in the converter - what I had forgotten was that I was using it as an eyedropper...

 

The supplied converter is not very good, but I'm pretty sure most standard converters would fit. Mine has a plain steel nib instead of a gold plated one.

Nice pen i have also bought .. looks really good

[lko_sa]

The concept of this pen i very good. It can be used in any situation, wether you have ink bottle or cartridge. I've also got 2 of these pens. The tip of the nib is not very smooth. I've put the nib of old camlin sleek fountain pen which is writing much better.

3 way filling mechanism ?

Amy one tried this one as ED yet without any problem ?

No problems in using this as an ED

If there is no ink leakage problem then as an ED FP it will hold a lot of ink.

My ignorant rants years back when i didn't know a thing about fountain pens. my stupid comment. I am going to refill this pen now after many years. also thinking of buying camlin elegante.

 

@Hari317 i am the same guy who mailed you yesterday.

i dont understand the hoopla regarding this pen. it doesn't write smooth, its not exactly scratchy but has strong feedback against most Indian available paper. it writes from fine to medium thickness and is wet. I used waterman Blue-black and scheffer purple ink and also good old camlin red ink with it. My wife gets peeved whenever she sees me writing with it haha, mostly because i think she brought me a Waterman Hemisphere and a recently a Schaeffer Sagaris. Up close Trinity looks very cheap too, but every time i think of chucking the pen, i give it a go one more time, write a couple of pages and sign....i wish it was slightly better.

somehow even though i dislike it i feel quietly protective towards it when my friends diss about the pen..mostly because of the price..its just 100 bucks!! i mean one gotta go easy on this fella...hes just 100 bucks! it reminds me fondly of my grade school days..and it even smells strongly of plastic too....ahh those bygone school days and Rs 5 Reynolds ball pens and Rs 30 'chinese pens'/fountain pens...ah those terrible terrible days.. the India of 80's.

anyways - wouldn't recommend this pen to anyone and IMHO if one is a first time fountain pen user, this might even turn them off from using fountain all-together. but its only 100 bucks says my mind reproachfully again..ok one good thing though - it writes from the first stroke on and doesn't skip at all.
