Ever Wondered What Ink Flow Looks Like Under A Microscope? Or What Rouge Hematite Looks Like Zoomed In?

Spectacular! Try Stormy Grey too! It's a different kind of sheen!

 

 

Was just about to suggest that myself! I love watching that dry on paper like Rhodia, because you get to watch the deposit of the gold dust (dunno if it's really gold, of course) sort of materialize as the wetness of the ink part evaporate.

I plan on trying Stormy Grey as soon as I get some!

And how do you get your nibs to run so wet?

 

And flex? On a TWSBI? And Safari?

For wetness, I think everything is greatly exaggerated due to the microscope. Zoomed out as normal writers, they're not any wetter or drier than the other pens in that range.

 

As for the flex on the TWSBI and Safari, I don't recall using any extra pressure and have not adjusted the nibs on either of them. Again, I think it comes from the zoomed in nature of the video and maybe the shallow writing angle I had to use.

 

Glad you liked them though!

Stunning... THANX!!

Still, two questions...

1 - What paper... Rhodia?

2 - What Hematite generation... first or third???

 

Thanks again

That is Rhodia graph paper. Spiral bound. As for the Rouge Hematite, I am unsure. I bought the bottle already opened from someone on pen_swap on reddit.

Thanks. I'm stll looking for the 3rd Generation (newest version) since I only have the 2nd one and there is -- as we all know in the meantime -- absolutely zero gold in it...

I enjoyed the videos, my wife and kids enjoyed mocking me for watching videos of ink drying. I guess it was a win-win

I think this is the best thing I've ever seen!
