Oh, that's right. Those are the ones that get so big they get up into steel brush territory. Very cool! I'll have to look for those. Thanks! Great job!

Capt'n, I have that pen! Looks great.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

The blue is Pelikan Royal Blue... The rest are cartridges. The thick red is the red cart that came with the Pilot Parallel. The black and red otherwise are old Manuscript cartridges. I'll have moar inks soon! Soooon. :D

i misdated the note saying it is Jun 11, did not notice unit now. Sorry for that. I don't own any expensive pens just yet and I am experimenting. This is a Rosetta Explorer that writes very smoothly and wide, but what I like of this note is the Turquoise ink. It is beautiful! Thank you for watching.

:W2FPN: and keep posting and welcome to the world of fountain pens! I really like turquoise ink myself. I have the Omas Extra turquoise I am coveting, but I do like the Sheaffer version as well.

Hooray! We're pen buddies! A friend let me try it out and I knew I had to have it. It just feels so nice in hand.

But that's why they're called doodles. It's supposed to be fun. Plus those are nice colors :D
