line, your pelikan 400 OBB is in my dreams mix of flex and stub +++

PensMakeMemories, I would like to try your sailor with ink softer .. +++

00Photo, writing to frame +++

skysora, your Eversharp Skyline have flexible nib?

Pterodactylus, I admire the cleanliness of your writing, and beautiful photos, what tools do you use for images (camera, image processing?) +++

dcpritch, your writing is top, just as your pens +++

akustyk, beautiful pelikan, I see that you can change the type of handwriting with pen in hand, congratulations

SJH, If you like italic nibs, I suggest you use stub wide (B3, B4, etc.,.) with light/soft ink,

I love your Swan BB semiflex..+++

Uncle Red, beautiful pens, I would try your Esterbrook with Ancient Copper style ink +++

Raths, exercise, exercise, exercise, the dog that pen prefer? +++

I apologize for those who have forgotten, but ...greeting to all

Hi Ag99,

 

thanks for the compliment :-)

 

I use a (inexpensive) Canon MG5150 multifunction printer/scanner for scanning the pages.

Sometimes it has troubles with the colors (e.g. it can´t capture the orange Akkerman Oranje Boven ink correct).

I scan always with a quite high resolution (300 dpi) and scale it afterwards down with a picture editing program (in case I like to take only a part of the scan or a detail to have some resolution reserves) to 70% of the size.

 

For pictures I use only my phone cam (iPhone 5).

As I take the pictures most time on my desk with artificial light so I postprocess the images in a picture editing progam with a white balance filter (otherwise they are most of the time to dark/yellowish because of the artificial light).

Then i scale it down to 50% to become a reasonable size for posting in the forum.

Forgot to mention that your exercises looks great !

Rose Cyclamen is also a great ink, I like it very much.

It is very similar to R&K Solferino.

I know exactly what you mean and you wouldn't look back, but if you did, a few $ down is no biggie. (another gr8 thing about these pens; the economy, speed and ease with which you can change nibs).

 

Even this lovely smooth acrylic master-piece feels 'lacking' as it's not Italic!

 

The fear of Browsing the bay for every browser-variation scares me, especially on pocket-money day!!!

Best regards,

Diamine Kelly Green + water. (dilution makes it look brighter but yields a wider line)

Stainless steel Baoer 3035 with a very fine German stainless steel nib.

A beautifully smooth medium two-tone nib.

So very nice to write with.
