Jinhao 159 Orange

[MrDickens]

(If I'm out of order posting another Jinhao 159 review so soon after the previous one, I do apologise and am happy for this to be moved/edited, etc as required)

 

I just received my bright orange Jinhao 159 today. I had seen some quote positive things about this model here on FPN so thought I'd try one out. Less than £3, not much to lose.

 

I have attached my review below - apologies for my still-not-improving-handwriting-even-with-all-the-fountain-pen-writing-I-am-doing so hope you can read it ok ...

 

Just one take-away from the review to flag: the nib unit is too fat to fit the hole in the top of the 30ml Diamine bottle I wanted to use to fill the pen with Sherwood Green because why not orange and green!

Hm, nice to see a 159 in "mustard" color.

 

I`m sorry to say, but Diamine inks really don`t mix well with the Jinhao, Diamine being generally wet and Jinhao being a wet writer. Parker Quink should behave better, also you might want to try a different paper.

 

PS, it`s a better handwriting than mine

The Jinhao 159 is a big pen. It is not orange. It is O R A N G E ! ! !

 

I have several, including one in orange. Nice writing pen. Enjoy it.
