I got a pen plotter and finally inked up a Lamy with Pilot Iroshizuku today to give it a go. Here’s my first plot with this setup.

Impressive! 👍

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Cool.  Always wanted to try one of those things, but for me, it would be like a kid with a new toy at Christmas - glee for a while, then just a dust collector. :)

Ya, I needed a new COVID hobby. I'm lucky in that I can do some of the programming aspects of it so there are a few dimensions that should keep me occupied. I got it as a Christmas gift to myself. I've done about 30 plots so far so just getting the hang of it.

You could use that for very systematic and consistent EF nib ink reviews, haha!

Don't say things like that!  I am not that OCD.  I am not that OCD!  I'm not!  :gaah:

Hope you have lots and lots of fun with it!  If you ever need extra cash, you could probably hire yourself out to write addresses on wedding invitations, or something... :)

Speaking of EF nib reviews, the brand new out of the box Lamy EF used above is not really setup to my liking. My daily writer is a tuned Nakaya so not exactly a fair comparison. I'll try another nib on the Lamy next that is an F and see if it fares any better.

      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
