using dark green of jinhao 992 today inked with J Herbin Diabolo Menthe. We all know how 992s are good, but this ink, too good for me. I fell in love with it. I saw so many people are didn't like it, but another favourite of mine is Rouille D'ancre, so it's ok. :)

It's all Greek to me...

Fully backed up by Helens' beautiful Luxor in the photie immediately following your post Maurizio. :D

Ian, not only is the Luxor a beautiful pen and a smooooth writer, but that Picasso pen box is even eye catching.

A fake "famous brand pen". :D

Writes extremely well after I corrected the scratchy nib. The tines were a bit misaligned. Used this explanation to correct LINK LINK. Suddenly, I heard a click and the scratchy noise had disappeared.

One of my favourite Chinese pens.

Forgive my terrible photography skills combined with bad lighting (and handwriting) :lol:

 

Today I'm using Jinhao x750 Shimmering Sands inked with Pilot Black :) I love this pen, it's really pretty :wub:

 

I gave one of these to my sister, and her friends have been interested and asked her about the price of the pen :D I might just have lured some new fp users B)

Like yourself, I really like the Jinhao X750. What size nib is that? Fine or Medium

The large Jinhaos (#6 nib) are, as far as I know, all "medium". However, there is a range from "fine medium" to "medium broad medium". The latter tend to be on their commemorative pens.

 

The nice thing is, the X-750s are cheap enough that you can cut the nib down to a nice fine if you want. I have done that with a couple, and now have a range of nib sizes in my various X-750s from fine, through Naginata Togi (after the Sailor) to medium broad.

Thanks, for the writing looked more like a fine, or fine-med.

It is a medium nib, but to me the line looks the same width as my Jinhao 992.

Thanks. I find the Jinhao 992 a real surprise. The nib is surprisingly smooth, and feels good in my hand. For $1.54 US, it is like finding a small pearl in the midst of a lot of options. I have been using both the Jinhao 992 and LingMo Lorelei quite a bit, to really break them in. My Lorelei is a really nice looking pen, particularly the green & amber yellow. So far holding up well.

I agree, Jinhao 992 is a lovely writer :wub:

I've been thinking of getting the amber yellow LingMo Lorelei for my mum, so thank you for your comment! Definitely getting one on my next order :)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      @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
