Sailor Profit Realo

Hi,

 

On the issue of ink capacity for the new 2009 Realo piston filler, I did a comparative writeout after filling both my new Realo and 1962 Sheaffer PFM II, both with medium nibs. The writeout was to 8" X 10" copy paper with 1/2" margins with paragraphs of 250 - 300 words each. Up front I say that it's apples to oranges and subjective, depending on writing style and other variables, but it did satisfy my curiosity as to how much ink I could count on for the routine writng I do each day at work, etc., before I need to think of refilling.

 

With the Realo, I can count on writing 9.5 pages with a fillup; with the PFM II, I can count on writing 8.5 pages with a fillup.

Hi,

 

Attached is a picture of the two pens with my Burgundy Bold.

It seems not to be attached.

 

This is a known bug in the current version of the BB software. Linking images from external hosting sites like Flickr still works: you could try that.

Thanks:the mistake was mine. File was too big so I resized it thru Picasa without getting a response on the upload and prematurely posted. Picture is at flickr:f8flickr's photostream

      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
