Hi everybody! I'm not sure: is my topic needs an individual topic, but I did not find where I can put it. I am interested in fountain pens not so long ago, but I already have a lot of test sketches made with different inks. I combined them into one big post, in which you can visually compare colors and shades. There are both thin and thick lines, overlays in hatching and more others(I think:)). For the first impression I think is suitable.

Hi everyone, I have many Parker pens, but I use the Sonnet and 75 as my everyday pen. Do I have to clean these two pens every time I use a different color/brand ink? (Quink Black to Quink Blue, Quink Black to Waterman Serenity Blue, etc.) If yes, do I have to have a major cleaning process OR can I just clean the converter and nothing else. Thank you in advance. -William S. Park
