Hello!
Lately I've been experimenting with modern hybrid ink pens. Their reliability and colour density looked really appealing to me. But what I can't get over is their excessive smoothness. I find hybrid ink pens difficult to control on any paper. My strokes become much less precise with them and I have to switch to much larger handwriting. It is almost a pain to me. This applies to:
* Uniball Jetstream 1.0
* Caran d'Ache 888 (with Swissride refill)
* Paper Mate Inkjoy
* S. T. Dupont Jet 8
* Platinum hybrid ink refills (though not that much)
This also applies to the gel pens:
* Pentel Slicci 0.7
* Zebra Sarasa
Does anybody else have the same problem as I? Is anything wrong with me that I feel these are too smooth? Do I need to adjust my handwriting? I know that these pens and refills are really popular and I guess it's for a reason.
Many thanks!
