ROTRING 600 fountain pen with rollerball cap, the crack on the cap just grew?
ANOTHER MIND posted a topic in Other Brands - Europe
Last year I found a beaten up a black Rotring 600 fountain barrel (of course with the mandatory crack), section, nib but with no cap. After some time I tried my luck and bought a seemingly NOS 600 rollerball cap that had an almost invisible crack. Fastworded around 2 months and the crack on cap grew considerably. I never dropped it, it was kept in a drawer, it had no exposure to higy humidity, extreme low / high temperatures, it was constantly at around 22 grades C. I have a video (link here: Rotring 600 fp review) where I have the unboxing of the cap when I received it and the rest of the video where the crack is much larger. Did anything like this happened to your black 600? My first impression was: was I so sleepy that I was not able to see this crack or did it really just grew in a couple of weeks? In my case the rollerball cap fits perfectly the fountain pen. Even though it is sort of a frankenpen pen, I like it even better. I do not own 5 or more black 600 fountain pens that are all inked up and I need to remember the nib size. It makes much more sense to remember the ink color rather than the size, like in the case of the 600 mechanical pencils, the lead thickness is marked on the cap, and the selector is for the lead grades B, 2B, H, ... Is this happening only to the black version or also to the silver one? The majority of black ones have the cracks on ebay while the silver ones seem to have no issue with this. -
Has anyone heard of or tried using fountain pen ink in Johanna Basford's 'grown up' colouring books (Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest)? The pictures look so whimsical and fun, and with all of the colour options that we have with fountain pen ink, it would be a blast to colour them in using a fountain pen and ink. If you haven't seen it already, check it out! I looks pretty neat: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2981484/British-author-sells-million-copies-colouring-book-adults.html
