As far as wetness, I would say the Italix flows wetter. It is also sharper in the corners than the Stipula. Both are equally smooth.

Never thought this ink would show this much sheen, but as it seems it can.

Well, it'll be over a year since I've been quietly admiring everybody's pens, ink, writing and sketches on this thread.

 

I dread to think how many new inks I've tried and eventually bought thanks to you guys (especially dcpritch) but I've been so blown away with this newly discovered ink that I felt compelled to add my tuppence worth.

 

My trusty and well used Pilot Namiki Falcon SF nib loaded with the totally delicious Rohrer and Klingner Leipziger-Schwarz - just add a gentle water wash and watch the ink come alive . . .

Hi everyone,

 

I've been working like crazy this week and last, which hasn't left any time to post here, but I've certainly enjoyed the pens and inks.

 

Tas, as a lawyer I must reply to you, "I have no present recollection of anything you have mentioned." Plausible deniability is always a good tool to keep in one's back pocket. Great pen, too, and is that your drawing of the R&K bottle? Fantastic!

 

I get to go to my first pen club meeting this week - P.E.N.S. in St. Paul, Minnesota, and this is reason enough for my first-ever use of the happy dance bunny

 

After nearly 25 years of collecting fountain pens I finally have a chance to rub shoulders with some like-minded folks. To make it better, the agenda includes a calligraphy demonstration and lesson from one of the club members, FPN's own Sinistral1. I've inked a fair pile of pens with flex nibs (and a couple of wide nibs, because really, they just rock) in anticipation of the meeting:

 

Here are the pens and inks written down (to help my aging mind keep track):

 

And the pens, 1-12 are left to right

 

And 13-17 are right to left (sorry about that):

 

I know a few other FPNers are going to be there - if you are watching this thread, hope to see you on Friday!

dcpritch, Pterodactylus, thank you.

I'll do my best not to no longer watch from afar but instead become a visible contributor.
Perhaps, a sketch or a scribble with a different pen & ink combo every now and then.
