to photograph a court scene with his pen;........The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson.............

Today I've completed and sent 2 PhD applications so I'm a nervous wreck, but I've also received 3 long-due letters from a dear pen friend so I'm making an effort at calming myself down by listening to relaxing music and writing things, such as quotes and replies to other letters, just to help with the emotional backlash.

This is probably the last time I'm using this pen for a while, the Wing Sung 618, since the nib is fairly scratchy, drier than a hooded nib has any right to be, and has a tight sweet spot because duh hooded nib. Also, this ink is very very dry in this pen, doesn't make for a pleasant writing experience. This combo found me on a bad day to pick a fight.

Great color, though this pen's no good and doesn't show off this color properly.

Hello again, RoyalBlueNotebooks,

 

Usually Scabiosa (or any iron-gall ink) requires a fairly wet pen. In addition, my Fabriano EcoQua is on the dry side. Try your generic 1.1 with a wetter ink and more absorbent notebook, see if it is still a dud. If you have a Noodler Ahab, put a Goulet 1.1 nib in it and try out your Scabiosa. The Ahab's feed is designed to be wetter than most.

 

Best of luck,

[RoyalBlueNotebooks]

Randal, hello! I did know that iron gall inks are drier than dye-based ink, but I had (foolishly) hoped that the Jinhao feed would have kept up. Nope. Disappointment all around. I've inked up a Wing Sung where I swapped the nib and feed with a Pilot Pluminix,and it seems that the ink flow is much better, though I need to prime the need every couple of days. Iron gall feel so dry but their shading is top-notch.

 

 

Jinhao 992 F (I'm not re-inking this pen any time soon, the feed is disappointing).

Diamine Emerald.

 

Pilot Pluminix F (I really like the Pluminix nibs).

Fred, do you think the others are on vacation? There has been less activity in the writing sub-forums these past couple of months.

I had hoped that using a B nib would have forced me to open up my letters more but nope. Still nice and cozy.
