Thank you!

Ok, for those of you paying attention ... #230 is not a fountain pen doodle. FPNer Rafael Marcia is an amazing photographer.

 

As you all know, photographs have been around a long time, and in 1888 Kodak made cameras available for the consumer. As a film student, I was reminded that Kodak and Fuji didn't make their money making movies for the big screen, but they made money making family home movies possible. Part of making movies and pictures valuable for future generations was making a product that would survive. In the century of developing film, Kodak and other film companies spent a lot of time and money researching how to preserve film for the coming generations.

 

Kodak is in bankruptcy and hopes to survive this new age of digital images. In recognition of Kodak's contributions to the world of images and paper, we are including an image printed on Kodak Professional Endura Paper. #230 was taken by Rafael Marcia and is of Grand Central Station.

I'm so glad you like them!

 

I am a huge fan of CIs and grinds but there are a few pens I don't mind as they are. For example, the Monteverde Artista Crystal. It's my first demonstrator - I got it in Clear. I enjoy writing with this F nib and especially with Mauritshuis Magenta (your rec, thanks)!

 

Funny about the Amber - I thought it would be perfect in my M400 White Tortoise, but it wrote really dry! It laid down such a light line, surprisingly. No problem in the Bexley B CI.

The Edelstein Amber has been more finicky than I had anticipated. Seeing it in your Bexley makes me enjoy it much more than in an of the Pelikans I've seen.

My test started on Monday. I picked no particular category, but I did try to include sheen-heavy inks as the majority. I'm curious to see what the Oklahoma heat will do to sheen.

 

And Tod is eagerly awaiting the results, too.
