Best Pen For Fast Writting...

[theblackpen]

Thank you all!

I think I'll try a Pilot 78G and after that a Sailor Sapporo.The Platinum Preppy seems interesting.

The Pilot VP just...isn't me.I prefer a classic design.And small,thin FP's.

Altough it isn't too interesting,I made a list of FP's that I would like to write with:

 

Aurora Talentum Finesse

Caran d'Ache Dunas

Conklin Glider

Conklin Mark Twain Signature

Cross Townsend

Cross Century

Cross Apogee

Cross ATX

Lalex Forme Square

Lamy 2000

Lamy Studio

Lamy Safary

Montblanc Meisterstruck Mozart

Montblanc Meisterstruck Chopin

Montblanc Noblesse Oblige

Parker 100

Parker Sonnet

Pelikan 250

Pelikan 300

Pelikan Technixx

Pilot Knight

Pilot 78G

Platinum Preppy

Sailor Sapporo

Sheaffer Agio

Sheaffer Prelude

Sheaffer Snorkel

Waterford Marquis Claria

Waterman Phileas

Waterman Harmonie

 

And of course,someday,a Parker 51.

Like I said,I have a Pelikan M200 with a fine nib.I am very pleased with it ,although it writes a little thick for my taste and for what I expected from a fine nib.

The Lamy 2000 is,from what i've read,a love/hate pen,that's why I have to buy one.

The ballpens are again,not me.I hate the way they write.

I been writting with fountainpens since the first grade.My first one is almost as old as I am,"Golden Star 707".I wrote with it for 12 years,until the point became blunt(I dont't know if it is the correct term).

I was really upset then...But now maybe I'll find a way to fix it.

OK...

Thanks again everybody! I can't wait to tell you about my next FP.

Bye!

I've had them all, and without a doubt ... the Namiki Vanishing Point w/Medium Nib.

Hello everybody!

I am a medical student and where i study,fast note taking is important.I need an instrument that writes very smooth.It must have an extra fine nib or a fine nib...I write with very small charecters...microscopic almost

 

Get Pelikan Steno. It is all black, but its cap is made of steel. As the name suggest, it is originally designed for stenography. It is made with just one very narrow nib width. It is very cheap. It is ugly, but it just works. In addition, it might be good to have some ink of American Eel -series made by Noodler's Ink.

Okay, I'll add to the confusion.

 

My fastest pen is the Omas Extra transparent converted to an eyedropper. Actually, just a few days ago, I wrote "This pen likes to write fast." As noted by others, the factors seem to be fine point, smooth nib, free flow pen and ink. I have Noodler's Polar Blue in my Omas, a very "liquid" ink. Also, for all-day writing, you'll need a large ink supply -- that's one reason I like the Omas converted to eyedropper -- haven't had to refill it in weeks -- still more than half full. But then, there's the problem of the cap. So, my second choice for a fountain pen that "wants to write fast" is the Namiki Vanishing Point -- no cap. But it has a miniscule ink supply, so I don't take it out of the house.

Thank you all!

I think I'll try a Pilot 78G and after that a Sailor Sapporo.

 

Probably the most sensible choice, with the possible exception of the recent suggestion of the Pelikan Steno. If you want to write very fast, then the ink you use might be more important than the pen. There are some exotic inks with poor ink flow (eg the Noodlers UK Eternals). Aurora Black is a very safe ink with excellent lubrication and flow. Private Reserve Supershow Blue is another. You should probably flush your pen with water every few months too, especially is you use one of the more saturated modern inks.

Personally I have just oredered a Lamy 2000, which is a (mostly) black FP. A caveat is that I have not actually used one, but have read lots and lots of very good reviews of this pen that I decided to go ahead and get one, it is supposed to be a wet wrtitter, which may interfer with your ideals somewhat, however it is such a classic (41 years in production with no changes) that it has to be a winner, also it is medium size and by the sound of it virtually indestructable (my student years come back to me and I know that this IS impertant), also it is well within your price limit, and is supposed to hold a lot of ink, all of this seems to be a good option for you - I am getting it as an everday plus back up pen for use within court - a combination of slow writting and frantic scribbling, depending on the mood of the judge...
