Can Anyone Please Post A Sample Writing With A Jowo 1.5 Mm Stub...?


tinta

Recommended Posts

Tried my best to look it up on the FPN & on Google, but no luck......................

 

I would love to see a writing sample, using an un-modified JoWo 1.5 mm stub/italic nib would look like.

Please show me a writing sample.

(Edison or Franklin Joseph pens use these nibs, but there may be other brands)

The Goulet nibs are made by JoWo.

I have a Goulet 1.5 mm, which as Runnin_Ute said is made by JoWo. Thus, here are all the writing samples of mine that I could find on my computer:

I see what you mean "Runnin_Ute,............. using Goulet's interactive tool I got two very small writing samples.

The Goulet's brand nib comes out looking a tad sharper than the Edison"s 1.5 mm stub in their interactive tool.

If they are supposed to be stock (untipped) stubs from the same factory wouldn't they be more similar?

There is not enough in the Golet's samples to get a "feel" for what the nib may be like.

 

What I'm really looking for is a longer sample. A part of a longer text, perhaps.

It would be nice to see the nib demonstrate most of the letters, capital & small case.

 

There was (is?) a long running thread on FPN that had sizable samples of writing, using of italic nibs.

I've seen some writing samples that are quotations from literature

Thanks a bunch "Yogalarva",... that is exactly what I was looking for.

Goulet's should post your examples on their site.

 

To add: Is your nib stock, as is, then installed into another pen?

Thanks! :-) I don't know that I would consider my work to be that nice, but it certainly is getting better. Best of luck on your nib quest!

Just a quick question.

What "claret" ink was used for the Feb 26?

Really like the shading.

Really like the shading.

 

The first five pictures (so including the Feb 26) were done using J. Herbin Rouge Hematite. Sometimes it appeared really golden, like the second picture, but overall more red. A nice ink and the sheen is great if you can get it to show up, but I don't know if it's worth the cost of the whole bottle. :-)

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
