Fountain Pen With Fine Nib For Carbon Document Ink


bartrums

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Hoping there's someone who can advise!

 

A vicar is looking for a fountain pen with a fine nib, that will be completely safe to use with his carbon document ink.

 

Any ideas or suggestions would be really appreciated!

 

Thank you in advance.

Platinum Carbon Desk Pen (made for it), any of the 3776 series.

 

I have been using the Platinum carbon inks for a few years with just a good flush every third fill in many pens (Lamy, Faber Castell, Pelikan) with no problems.

 

Of course Japanese nibs are finer than normal European so the med would be closer to a fat fine from Europe.

Slightly expensive, and not everyone likes the design but... A bullet-proof (and not necessarily Noodler's!) ink requires a bullet-proof pen! I roll with a Fountain K with carbon ink for school as it survives just about everything!

 

Whichever pen you choose, make sure you clean it too! Carbon inks can be nasty.. D:

For an English preacher,....buy English.... do recommend ESSR....Ecclesiastical Stationery Supplies Registrars Ink . 110 ml and very affordable. It is liked more than Diamine Registry's ink. It is a class Blue Black ink.

 

It's the old Stephen's Blue Black ink....saved when the conglomerate that bought up Stephen's ink gutted it, and sold the Factory land....as planned from the start.

One of the management got the wooden cask and recipe as settlement.

 

It was discussed for 40 pages here on the com.

How about a Parson's Essential or a Churchman's Prescriptor? ;)

Before we all get too excited, exactly what carbon document ink is the good vicar using?

I agree with David, but agreement aside I own the DP-800s (Carbon Desk Pen) and do like it a lot. It has a very thing body/section though so that should be something you consider first.

Hero #232 Blue-Black is my Waterman Florida Blue.

      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..

      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
