I was just wondering if anyone had any information on this pen, if anyone has one please tell me. I have it and it appears to be a dry writer, and a little scratchy. But for a $360 pen that is not write.

What ink did you try first which did not work well?

What ink are you using now?

 

EDIT: Oops, Encre -- I guess you were posting yours as I was typing mine...

I may not have been much help, but I DID bump your thread up to the top.

At first I had Aurora Blue, but then changed to MontBlanc Violet. I will try to get some Namiki ink sometime soon.

The Namiki Impressions is one of the earliest pens I purchased from Chun Lee at Swisher Pens, when Chuck and Chun sold pens that they stocked in their closets as they did not yet have a B&M store. The pen has a fine point and always writes smoothly with Waterman, Pelikan, and Levenger bottled inks. It's really a remarkably dependable pen that I sometimes take for granted...

May you and those you love, be always blessed with peace and never ending joy.

I am glad you got the nib issue resolved. Amazing how ink impacts on a pen's functioning!

 

I am curious what size nib point you have. I tried an Impression, but the pen felt a little odd in my hand - a bit small. I got a Custom Impressions and I am very happy with it. I am a fan of Japanese B nibs, and have one on my CI. It was smooth out of the box and has never had flow issues, but that is often part of the character of a B nib.

 

Anyway, you have a great pen and I hope it continues to treat you well.

      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
