Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us!

[Vignette]

@Vignette: Er... is it really the feed that is the issue or is not the nib shifted off-centre? I cannot be certain, but that is what it appears to be in the photo.

 

Dear Kyoju,

 

You are quite the eagle eye! I think I must have been mistaken, yes.

 

There are 6 pictures in my call for help here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/topic/230895-my-new-artus-has-a-problem/

 

If you could take a look to confirm that the nib is the issue, I would be so grateful.

 

Thank you so much.

This was taken right before the new Ranga came, but it's representative of my lineup. I'm using the 78G a lot right now because I'm doing research and marking up readings. The VP usually goes with me to school for note taking, with a 50/50 mix of Diamine Midnight and Eclipse.

Kyouju, I don't see any sheen effect with the Diamine Grape, but it certainly has amazing depth of color.

 

Uncle Red, whatcha writing with this week?

 

Here is a new pen that might well replace a host of others in my collection:

Wow - I like!

Carlos, thanks very much, and it looks like the learning curve for you on stub nibs has been very quick - your writing looks great! And I love that Sheaffer stub - I have a couple and seeing yours makes me want to ink one up right away.

 

Freddy, that's a great Bexley line-up for your jacket pocket. Here's my "Bexley du jour":

Thanks for reply Uncle Red. LeBrusc, I hadn't noticed it either! (Also didn't catch missing an 'n' in technically...)

 

Many thanks to "jbb" who got me into dip pens & learning flex. Beautiful lettering & flourishes. Hers not mine of course!

Oops should read, "and those young recruits are less than 2 years from retiring."

It's funny how the hand seems to have a mind of it's own when writing.
