Looking For A Thick Felt/thin Marker Writing Pen

[lamyfreak]

I'm looking for a thicker felt pen or a very thin marker , thinner than http://content.etilize.com/900/1021490239.jpg but not too thin. I like em bold. Maybe 1mm.

 

I also need it to be archival.

 

The problem with pigment liners in general is that I can't write on a slant. I write with a fountain pen grip almost all the time, and pigment liners don't work well at that angle.

 

So to recap:

 

1) Thin , black marker

2) Archival

3) Good for writing/charts/note taking

 

Thanks

Hmm not sure if this is what you're after but take a look at the Platinum Preppy Refillable Highlighter or Platinum Preppy Refillable Marker. The big benefit of course is you can choose your ink so you can have a choice of archival inks, either can be converted to an eyedropper and at $2.95 they are inexpensive enough to carry more then one so each can have a different ink colour. you can also purchase replacement tips for each type of pen as well.

 

Highlighters can be seen here: http://www.gouletpens.com/Platinum_Preppy_Highlighter_s/887.htm

How would something like this fare in terms of leakage.ALso, how would it fare on a plane?

How about a Sharpie Stainless Steel?

Looks pretty nice.

The OHTO Graphic Liner (meant to emulate a pigment liner but dispenses ink differently) in 0.5 or 1.0 might work well for you: http://www.jetpens.com/Ohto-Graphic-Liner-Needle-Point-Drawing-Pens/ct/1506 (no affiliation to seller). I haven't used those sizes and personally prefer traditional pigment liners, but I can vouch for the archival and waterproof qualities of the ink.

Hope that helps.

There should be no problem with leakage from either the Preppy Marker or Highlighter as long as you follow the easy instructions in the video regarding the application of a wee bit of silicone grease and an o-ring. The procedure is identical to that used to turn the $3.95 Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen into an Eyedropper. I've been using the fountain pens extensively for my pen and ink drawings with no leakage at all. The video can be found here:
