Fineliner Pen With Fountain Ink


Mirk0

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a pen that really suits my needs. Mostly I need something to write comfortably that for me it means no rollerball or ballpoint pens since i really dont like them.

Although what I'm looking for it's a pen with peculiar colors and thus fountain pens are the best option, but in the past i used a cheap version of a fountain pen and i didn't really like it. But it had a very particular nib (like a needle similar to Pilot V7 rollerball) that was cool.

Anyway I really love the fineliner pens and so i was wondering if there's any way to use fountain ink on a fineliner pen.

If you have any other tip like a specific brand that sells fineliner with a wide range of colors i'd appreciate that too :) .

Thanks in advance for your comments

I find it interesting that the Pilot V5 cartridges are side-by-side the same as their fountain pen cartridges. I do wonder if the ink in them is the same.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

Maybe you could fill a blank copic marker with Fp ink?

I don't think it is possible , I've already asked the same thing to a pen seller. The most similar pen i found is the Aristo mg1 tecnichal drawing pen but im not sure it is compatible with fountain ink

Why not possible? they would only tell you it's not recommended, just to force you to use copic ink. Other than it being alcohol based, i don't see why not. if if not, then you're only out $7 or so.

You might try the Jinhao 911 (not 992!). Available from Honk Kong via the Bay and the Zone.

It is a fountain pen with a very fine hooded nib, almost a fineliner.

 

It looks like a WingSung 601 which is said to be a clone of the Parker 51 (can't judge this myself as I have neither),

but it has a steel cap and section and has a normal cartridge/converter filling system

instead of the vacumatic system of the Parker and the Wing Sung.

 

Might be what you're looking for ....

I would suggest rotring isograph technical pens which are available in a wide range of line widths. Plenty of used ones around for a few euro. They work fine with fountain pen ink. I also use well filtered tea, coffee and various other liquids in mine.

Rotring or Koh-I-Nor inks are totally waterproof and can be left in pens for extended period.

Buy the cartridge system pilot v7/v5 pens, you can use bottled ink with them via a converter. or refill the cart using a syringe. The con 40 converter fits in the pen

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
