It has a wonderful 0.8mm stub from Greg Minuskin! A true joy to write with once I put the first few words in my journal down.

Now THAT is a standout pen, gorgeous bright colours and design which makes it really stand out from the crowd.

 

Vive la difference

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to use another ink in this pen.

Well you may not like working with a dip nib, BUT photographing one in the ink looks amazing.

There's great line variation from that nib. Looks like a wonderfully fun pen to write with.

Thanks Ian, it's an eyeball popping ink and matching pen. Some pens tell me what ink they want to be fed, and the Lepine pen certainly told me loudly that it wanted BSB!

 

Q: What is the catfish species in your avatar?

Love the ink color... amzaing

It's the colour of this ink that makes me come back to it despite the staining and spilling risk. But from experience I have found that rubbing alcohol takes care of BSB ink stain on skin really well.

I had never seen your normal handwriting before, Attila. Very neat and controlled hand, and easy to read. I am always fascinated by people's handwriting. I think it says a lot about the person.

I've been coveting the Cigar ink but it's perpetually sold out when I go to check, and I wonder if they are ever going to bring it back in again?

The picture of the nib touching water is amazing. How did you hold the pen steady and *barely* touching the water as you took the shot? Extra paw?

Whats the length of the JPL?

The tiny pen is only about 4 inches with the cap on, and when I screw on the cap to post it is just about 5 inches. Even I can't use this pen without the cap being posted. It's really small, but feels secure in the hand and surprisingly robust.
