Get twice the mileage for the price of water! Hah even VW can't boast that... ;)

 

Tamiya, thank you for the information about reconstitution. Does it look like the sheen stays after adding water back?

Originally nor now, I don't get much sheen strangely... even with the wettest Lamy M nib.

 

Probably my paper and the ambient humidity, getting crazy yoyo weather lately from summer hot one day to winter freeze the next. Australia has suffered several asthma fatalities this past week...!

Storm-related asthma attacks. Apparently, it is indeed a thing, noticed over the last 30 years in a few countries.

Reduced to using this ink in cartridges. Well, there are other inks.

I missed this on it's initial release, but saw someone on another site selling a bottle, so I've jumped on it. Cannot wait to try it out.

Just sold my bottle and cartridges. Super ink but I've decided there is no need for so much backup ink and once I've used up my bottle I will look for another ink to enjoy.

I haven't heard anything like that, and if it was, I would be very sad, considering how much I've just paid for a bottle.

Haven't heard of such a thing.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
