Continuing my italic handwriting, I used three pens this morning: Pelikan M800 (1.0 mm formal italic) with R&K Alt-Bordeaux, Parker Duofold "100 year Akkerman" (italic broad) with Akkerman Blauw, Visconti Homo Sapiens (Steel, 1.3 mm stub) with Diamine Umber.

 

Needed (wanted) three colours to distinguish between the voices of Evangelist, Jesus and the High Priest.

Got a 2.4mm Pilot Parallel and can't have enough of it! Uncials, Antiqua and Carolingian have never been so simple.

Practice, patience, perseverance

Using my Pilot Metropolitan Retro Pop with Noodler's Air Corps Blue Black, Pilot Falcon with just a regular Pilot Black cartridge (which somehow feels glossy black coming from that nib), and a Platinum Plaisir with the blue Platinum cartridge. Can't wait to use up that up and get in a more interesting color.

Wacom Intuos A5 ... Sorry, haven't touched a fountain pen all day, but perhaps later when I'm done editing pictures.

Did this modification require any physical "hammering" of the nib, or are the TWSBI 580 nibs and F-C nibs exactly the shame shape? If they are, my oncoming 580 AL Green just got a lot more attractive.

I just unscrew the nib unit from both pens and swap them. No modification needed. I like the FC nib unit so much more than my TWSBI ones. I did the same to my TWSBI Mini and it worked well too.

Today's pens were a Franklin Christoph Model 02 filled with some of their F-C Black Cherry Ink (which performed remarkably well on some awful 3x5 cards) and a Karas Kustoms Ink with a titanium Bock nib which I'm trying to figure out whether I like or not.

      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
