Carène = adjustable pen?

[marcelo]

Jus followed olifant's procedure that worked flawlessly.

 

One more aligned Carène :clap1:

Thanks, it worked for me too!

Now I have a perfectly aligned Coral Orange.

Thank you for sharing this useful information. This issue has annoyed me since I bought my Carene but tonight I have carried out the alignment and am delighted.

Just discovered this - fantastic thank you!

AND............."ANOTHER" foolish person who merely remained annoyed at the misalignment & "lived with" it! I honestly have hated it every time I used the pen BUT not as much as the "small"sized factory stub nib. I was under the impression that Waterman's "wrote wide" & expected the 1. stub to write wider than it does. I suppose because the Carene nib is such a "nail" there is just not a chance of that similar reputation appearing in the Carene. I love the style, design of the nib BUT the misalignment quite provoked me in a $200 pen! I suspect I will NOW have a chance to develop a "closer" relationship with this pen. Thanks to all who offered these suggestions. The small stub may NOT bother me as much with the alignment corrected.

Thanks for reviving this topic. I never would have seen it otherwise. I've been thinking about getting one of these for some time.

Yes, thanks for reviving this topic. Sometimes an old topic is really useful.
