    Parker 45 flow problems?

    IanP2303 posted a topic in Parker

    I have gotten my hands on a nice pristine Parker 45, everything is fine except for the flow. It is an Extra Fine but it isn’t much finer than a Parker Fine to my dismay, but isn’t much of a nuisance to me. The pen didn’t write finer than the Parker Fine, but the flow was blatantly drier. The colour of the ink is much lighter than it is supposed to be, and I have already washed the pen thoroughly and flushed it too. I have also tried multiple inks. Yet no matter which ink I use it in, it is still much much lighter! Any ideas on how to solve this? Cheers, Ian

    Hi, today I got a pair of bottles of Sennelier ink as a present. They're shellac-based, and I've never used this type of ink before. I tried them both with pointed nibs (Esterbrook 357 and Gillot 404) and italic ones (Leonardt), and with the pointed ones they didn't flow well, whereas with the italic ones they just left gobs in the page. (The nibs are clean and don't have problems with other inks I have). Does anyone have any tips on how to use them? Should I dilute them for the pointed pen work, and use gum arabic for the broad pens? Any hint would be very welcome! Martín
