I like it, where can you buy it?

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

Today I'll be carrying a black Parker 45, gold trim, fine steel nib, inked with Chesterfield Capri. Of course I will be using the matching pencil as well.

Jinhao 3000 "Tiger" metal fishnet medium point.

 

A wonderful, wet writer; had loaded it with red Skrip, then changed it later in the day to Noodler's Lexington Gray.

 

The gray ink needs a medium point or it looks like pencil writing.

 

But the pen; I see why people like their Jinhaos. Built like a tank, never going to railroad with a feed like that.

Today has been a lot more varied than of late; I've started doing a cutback because I had way too many pens in rotation. So I've ended up doing a lot of "oh, I've run out of ink -- need to get another pen out."

As a result:

My morning pages journal started with the Cedar Blue 51 Vac (vintage Quink Microfilm ink) for about a line. It continued with the Plum 51 Demi Aero, and vintage Quink Violet, then the bottom third of the final page was finished up with the grey Snorkel Valiant (diluted vintage Skrip Peacock), after the Plummer decided it was *also* in need of either a refill or a flush. Oh, and I just remembered that some of the middle was also done with one of the Noodler's FPCs -- Vulcan's Coral -- currently sporting Sailor Shigure.

After that I filled the red Vector with De Atramentis Archive Black, to test the ink and then write bills. That pen and the Jinhao 599 (finishing up a fill of what I think is now diluted Sailor Tokiwa-Matsu) that I got in the Valentine's Day gift exchange from Helen350 were used later in the day to make notes at a meeting. After I got home, I made a few more notes with another Vector (stainless steel barrel, with some company imprint on it); that one has Iroshihzuku Shin-kai in it at the moment.

And that now reminds me to see whether the Plummer is *really* empty or not. And to decide whether to refill, dilute, or flush.

I think tomorrow, as a bit of a change up, I *may* try to stick to a single pen.... ;)

Ruth, I feel your inky pain.
