Writes On Anything!

[Mardi13]

Do you have a pen that will write on almost anything,that is your trusty stalwart? Something that writes checks, addresses envelopes, takes notes, does your journal - the one that gets the green jersey for "most consistent performance?"

Sure. Parker jotter rollerball.

Pilot Vanishing Point with an XF nib, it writes on anything with any ink without ever feathering or bleeding through.

Not a pen so much as an ink -- that would be either Noodler's Kung Te Cheng (which is kept in a Noodler's Konrad), or possibly Noodler's 54th Massachusetts (currently residing in the ebonite Konrad). One or the other of those inks are pretty much in constant rotation. KTC even works on Post-it Flags -- the only other ink I found that did that was Diamine Registrar's Blue-Black, but I didn't like it for other reasons. But not even KTC works on the write-on space on freezer bags -- I have to fall back on BPs for that.

If KTC didn't have behavior issues (it can get cloggy) I would consider putting it in my Plum 51 Demi. But since it does, and Aerometric fillers are harder to clean, it stays in a pen I can completely dissemble if necessary.

for writing on plastic surfaces (like freezer bags, CD/DVD's, and so on), i fall back on a sharpie marker.

 

for labelling my backyard chickens' eggs with the dates they were laid, a mechanical pencil.

 

for everything else, there's my Hero 329 with Bulletproof Black.

Wow, I never even thought of freezer bags, let alone eggs!

Sharpie marker!

My Sailor fountain pen with a fine nib, when filled with Noodler's Black, can even write on newspaper without feathering.

 

I've yet to try it on a freezer bag though...
