MECHANISM FOR PREVENTING INK FROM STOP FLOWING IN LONGGTIME WRITING IMPLEMENT SUCH AS FOUNTAIN PEN* RECORDER OR LIKEMOGI MATSUO
Back to fountain pen ink on paper. While we draw lines we observe ink flowing out of the fountain pen, building lines on the paper that stay visibly wet for a certain time and dry afterwards. Comparing different inks, we see more or less ink delivery (more wet or more dry ink li...
These days, 90% of anything I do in work, has to be done on a computer. If my manager wants to know something, he expects an instant answer by email - I think I would be sacked pretty quickly if I took out my pen, wrote him an answer in a letter and posted it to him...
MECHANISM FOR PREVENTING INK FROM STOP FLOWING IN LONGGTIME WRITING IMPLEMENT SUCH AS FOUNTAIN PEN* RECORDER OR LIKEMOGI MATSUO
I don't prefer rollerballs or gel pens over a well-flowing fountain pen. I also don't prefer quick-drying ink. Rather, there are inks that are problematic for me because they're particularly slow-drying, but I optimise my ink choices for how I like the pen to flow, and (as I'm...
If it has been working nicely for a while, but stopped. What changed? Use a different ink this fill? Has the pen been dropped? Do anything different when you changed inks this time? Did it start out normal after the fill but then stopped flowing? Pens don't normally become more dry ...
I started my own tests as I can't figure out what the Ink Guy really measured. His method with the flowing drops on thew slanted glass plate is a mix of surface tension and viscosity. So it can measure the combined fluidity of an ink to a certain degree. The falling drop and the ...
The pen wrote a beautiful wet line, then a drier one, then a drier one, and then just stopped. I decided to try the same ink in my Kaweco Sport, which is generally dry even when filled with an eye dropper. In that pen, the ink has been flowing generously for about three weeks now...
ink, and a lot of air, was drawn into the serynge, which lead me to believe there was a flow or static issue that was preventing the ink flowing from the top of the resovoir to the bottom. It appears an air bubble built up at the bottom of the resovoir as the pen was being ...
Since exam time is rolling around, I'm going to fill a pen with what I found - this is the time of year when I really use my red ink. And yes, once you have it and have tried it, if you feel able to part with some of it, I will gladly welcome a sample - unless...
