I was wondering just in case of "Check Washing". For 99,9 % of applications is more than enough with normal iron-gallic inks (Like water in the post, etc.)

Are there really still people out there using checks?

Amazing, I thought such ancient relicts aren't in use anymore, I didn't saw one the last 30 years.

I remember my parents talking about Eurocheque's when I was a child to get them as a safety backup when preparing a Yugoslavia holiday (at this time eastern bloc country).

I still use checks whenever dealing with the government. Several of my clients especially property managers have a lot of checks.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

We use cheques a lot; at work a bit more than personally, but a lot nevertheless. When they eventually die out I'll frame my very last one, made out to Cash for £1,000,000.00!

"From:", or "To:" ?

To Cash.

Means you can walk in to a bank, hand it over to the teller and they give you the money. No ID necessary, as the cheque is not addressed to anybody.

You may need to put your details on the back.

 

Doing it with a £1,000,000.00 cheque, though, may entail some further explanation on your part.

The only slight bit of explaining could be that I would hate to leave 3/4 of my funds still in that bank...!

So, the Noodlers Warden series are the ones with names that start with the word "Bad"? Can anybody say how these inks behave on crappy paper as far as feathering and bleed through are concerned?

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

The Bad Green Gator didn't work well for me on crappy paper. The BBM is a wonderful black (coming from a pen user who doesn't use black). BBKF and BBH are quite different in terms of behavior. I like them both. You probably want to read some of the reviews for these inks to get a better feel.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
