What Parkers Are You Working With Today?

Recommended Posts

If you've seen a couple of my posts in the past couple days you won't be surprised to know

that it's been this one. I think you can even see some DC Supershow Blue in there. I'm still

working on the love for the smaller Demi size but after a nuclear flush it's writing a wet, smooth

wider findium line. :thumbup: It has a couple small desk lines on it but otherwise, at least to

me, the frosting looks pretty good. You can't see it but it's got a nice shape jewel too.

What a fun thread! My go-to pens today were a 51 aero demi in teal with Luxury Blue and a fine nib and a Navy Blue 51 demi with Noodler's Blue-Black and a fine nib. Both are excellent writers.

The old beater B nibbed 21 came to work again today, but with a new ink...

 

PR DC Super Violet. OK, I'm a guy and I like purple..

 

I wish I had a plum 51 to go with this ink! It's fabulous!

Come to think of it I think I'll take my gold nibed 45 inked with Quink blue-black.

 

Such a drop dead '60s combo if there ever was!

Best pen in the whole wide world, possibly.

Special Edition new pen at the bottom is a beatiful pen. I guess that will be on the top of my list to buy next pen... :)

enjoy :) :thumbup:

Also have a Marbled Blue Duofold International inked up at home.

I'm thinking I might ink this one today. It's been awhile since I've had it out of the pen box.

Not today but yesterday. Blue pearl Vac stubbed beautifully by farmersmums. The writing experience with that pen is simply delightful. However, I wasn't watching, the pen had a little ink blurp on the desk and my sleeve made acquaintance with the puddle of ink. And it's bulletproof ink! That's the second of my suit jackets to have made an unfortunate acquaintance with Noodlers. My love for fountain pens is certainly causing me some wardrobe distress.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
