Not strictly a FP question, but I hope someone can help me :) In a moment of (in)sanity last night, I ordered myself a Platinum brush pen and a converter. I was wondering if anyone knows how you'd fill one? Immersing the bristles? Filling the converter then putting it in the pen?

 

Thanks in advance :)

Could you post a picture? I use brush pens but was unaware they come refillable also. Or maybe mine are and I don't know.

I don't have that style. Mine are the freebie ones that come in some 4-1/2 oz. bottles of Noodler's inks, and are eyedroppers. I pulled the brush and feed units and just filled the pens. It did take a little while for the ink to soak through to the brush tip, but then they were fine.

BTW -- they make great highlighter pens: I have three of them and they are filled with different colors of the Noodler's highlighter inks (Dragon Catfish Pink, Georgia Peach, and Lightning Blue).

it is extremely wet and be careful swinging toward and away from paper. I had one but I gave it to my girlfriend since shes a brooding artist.

 

I inked my desk a few times with blots. Maybe I was overly zealous about using it

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

      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
