What Chinese Pens Are You Using Today?

[richardandtracy]

I don't really know how to improve the flow from a sticky c/c. My advice would be to change it for another & see if that works. I had the same problem with my Jinhao 1200, and never really cured it.

I also have the same problem with my Parker Duofold International which has a larger c/c spigot diameter. Consequently, I don't think it can be put down to the smaller ISO c/c spigot diameter causing a meniscus that won't allow ink into the feed.

 

 

Over the last two weeks I've been using a couple of pricy pens alongside my Kaigelu 316, 356 & Jinhao Century Mk2. All have worked equally well while camping, and showed no problems at all (not that I expected any problems from writing - I was expecting floods, though. Thankfully they didn't happen).

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

today I re-ground my Kaigelu 316 to a stub -I can never get a crisp italic... woks wonderfully!

[richardandtracy]

... woks wonderfully!

Mmm, tasty.

 

Sorry. My youngest daughter's favourite film is 'School of Rock', but she tries to be cool & trendy when she says it, and as a result it comes out as 'School of Wok', or 'Cooking School' as I now call the film to her great annoyance.

Dolce Vita Naranja. Damn!

 

I have never loved a cheap Chinese pen as much as this. It looks incredible and the nib sings on it. Very smooth but with just enough character to make me happy. I cannot believe I got this for like $12 or so shipped.

 

Still waiting for my Kaigelu 356s. They've been stuck in customs for like a week.

My Jinhao Century Mk 2

 

Have to look at that Dolce Vita Naranja.

My Jinhao X450 who's nib is on the fine side of medium and drinks ink like a Foreign Legion camel arriving at Fort Zinderneuf. Wonderfully wet line.

 

Hopefully, the Jinhao X750 I ordered will arrive in tomorrow's post.

 

An enjoyable and safe Labour Day to all!

Very pretty!

[richardandtracy]

Now, that's a nice looking pen.

I always like the barleycorn finish that's on the cap.

 

Today's pen is the Jinhao Century Mk2 with Diamine Merlot.

A Hero 385.

Its a hit or miss, the ink flow seems to obey the law of gravity more than surface adhesion.

Just inked my brand new Picasso 608. Immediate reaction is that the medium nib is very smooth and performs much better than one would expect from such a modestly priced pen.

I received my Golden star 28 and several other pens yesterday and Inked the Golden star 28 today. It is a nice writer.

Kaigelu 357. Awesome bang for the buck! Right now, loaded with some Rouge Hematite, for a shading bonanza.
