Dear all

 

As a new member I have found the various reviews and fora very helpful in choosing a fountain pen to buy. I decided eventually on a Montegrappa Miya fountain pen and searching the web found the cheapest price to be Ink Blot Pens selling it at £282. I duly ordered the pen in midnight blue with a Fine nib and am awaiting delivery. I have since noticed a forum concerning Ink Blot Pens with someone in a similar position to myself questioning the reputation of this company and whether there might be a risk that the product they received would not be a genuine Montegrappa. I am now worried myself as I am not sure I would necessarily be able to spot a fake should I receive on. Any advice from members about the company or identifying fakes would be appreciated.

I'm suprised that there has been no reply to your questions. I for one cannot help, but I am sure that there must be someone out there that can. Best of luck, but I'm sure you'll not need it. :happyberet:

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
