Experience the free-flowing joy of ink on paper with the elegant engineering of the Safari fountain pen from German stationery legends, LAMY.
Through arrangement of the capillary-type air passage in the tube plug which is located at the tail end of the pen tube, the recyclable fountain pen refill can ensure that the ink is smoothly discharged out, and can also prevent the ink from flowing backwards. The recyclable fountain pen ...
It never really worked in a satisfactory way. The ink was somehow not flowing well from the converter. I tended to face some "hard starts" (no matter the angle at which the pen was hold). On the other hand, I very much liked the pen and I've ended up using it like a dip pen ...
This is my second Lamy fountain pen. It looks really modern and works nice. It took a while to start running smoothly, though. I had to write all afternoon till it started flowing well. It has an M nib and I put in J Herban Cafe de Iles ink. Am not complaining too much, though....
Considering that ink is in contact with the steel in the working parts of the pen, the nib will certainly withstand even a couple of days of soaking without damage. Soaking may not be needed, because you can use the converter to flush out old ink. Swap out the cartridge, if that's wh...
Plumix supposedly has lumpy barrel, mine is smoothly tapered like a deskpen. Speaking of deskpen, found some Platinum deskpens in red & black. Looked a tad plasticky, spent my sheckels on Pilot Petit 1/2/3s instead. Platinum also has a deskpen "Fountain Pen for Carbon Ink" - Tagline ...
Finding the right paper (rhodia?) ink (lubricated or not) and nib (free or not free flowing) and pen shape is vital. Also, alternate between printing and script. Also, I have several vintage manual typewriters to alternate between fp script when writing letters so that I can get my t...
A. No, there should not be if the ink is a quality product. It's got nothing to do with the quality of the ink. It's the amount of surfactants in the ink to keep the highly saturated ones flowing smoothly. More surfactant = less surface tension = more chance for nib creep. It's...
It wasn’t difficult to do and now the pen writes smoothly. I started with a courser grit until the pen would begin flowing freely. After that you move up to the smoother grits and basically polish the nib to the smoothness that you like. I also do this with other pens using one of...
As you'll see from the written review below, I really like this ink. The nano-pigment formulation has been flowing smoothly and trouble-free in my pens for more than a month now, and I love the richness of flow and the 'texture' of the ink. It's not like-for-like with the old ...
