Oh My Gosh It's Hot Here, But Ink Doesn't Melt


Davjohn

Recommended Posts

But it's a dry heat.

 

I'm new to the forum. I have a small collection of fountain pens, which is unique since no one can read my penmanship.

 

I have 1 Parker, which has decided to not write, 3 Baoer, several Jinhao, Sheaffer and a few no-name pens from ebay.

 

:lticaptd: :yikes: <- Just because they look funny.

Hi and welcome to FPN

 

 

That Parker has revolted.... no use writing if no one will be able to read it anyway.... :lticaptd:

 

 

 

Joking aside.. perhaps on these pages we can help you get the Parker going again...

 

 

Enjoy the forum

There's hope yet--remember how long it took to unravel the mysteries of hieroglyphics! Just kidding . . . Enjoy this forum and get that Parker going again!

Hello from Wisconsin/Minnesota.

But ink does freeze. :)

Welcome !

 

I hope you have been flushing the ink from your pens, b efore putting them away. Dried ink will form a "cement"

that clogs the pen. :wallbash: Find a cool, dark place for your ink. Ink won't freeze in your climate, but it WILL mold,

and grow some floating colonies that fl present as "slime". :wallbash:

 

Slow your writing. Concentrate on forming each letter as you want it to appear. Write more often. .

My penmanship is far from elaborate or noteworthy, but it doesn't lessen my enjoyment from writing with a FP!

 

Matter of fact, it has improved! (slightly) :rolleyes:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
