Lots of great looking pens and all sorts of beautiful penmanship styles in this very fun thread. Here's a snapshot of what is in my rotation today ...

 

 

 

I have intentionally setup the Wahl Eversharp pen/nib with massive ink flow so I can use it with those very light color inks, like the Diamine Soft Mint ink used in these writing samples. This nib setting turned the very light color Diamine Soft Mint into a teal color, bringing it to life. Have to be careful with how I write and the paper I use as this nib setting can create ink feathering.

 

 

Sorry for the forgotten "i" in the word "writer"

:roflmho: :roflmho: :roflmho: I really laughed out loud and loud is the word to describe my laughing! That's great but I guess it's too stiff a nib to flex in that angle holder.

Somewhat!

 

But I am struggling with that ink on dip pens, it does not flow easily, but it is not really a writing ink, more a decorative ink, and I have to find a way to get it to work so I figgered a fountain dipper - as you can see, it does the trick!

 

But, I just remembered a Parker I have buried somewhere that I did a job on the nib with - hmmmm, gonna have to dig that one out

What a gorgeous looking pen. B)

An old Parker I played with and remodified the nib somewhat - now it is my PortaParker Dipper pen. The nib does not sit right on the feed so when the cartridge is in, little to no ink goes down to the nib. When I want to use it I take the cartridge out, hold it in my hand and then with it upside down I insert the tines and just spin them around a little. This gets me a lot of ink and I can write for quite some time with it - a portable ink well.

 

I still want to play some more and get the nib extended out a bit but I had forgotten about it until last night when Uncle Red said something taht jogged my memory about this toy in a box somewhere :roflmho:
