Inkless Writing


AidenMark

Recommended Posts

Seitz-Kreuznach are carrying Axel Weinbrecht Beta pens . I've seen this type of metal oxide writing pens/pencils before, from an Italian company, but the 50-100E price put me off.

 

The SZ price is more reasonable (although quite expensive for a pencil) and I was thinking of taking a punt.

 

Has anyone used one?

 

Can they be used for waterproof sketching?

These are called silverpoints. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverpoint

 

Thanks, for this interesting link.

 

There seems to be a resurgence in this form of writing at the moment. Are modern silverpoints using a new alloy?

Not sure how healthy silver or zinc would be on the hands.

I have a (Napkin) Forever Cuban everlasting pencil (from Cultpens) which uses an alloy tip. The tip is quite thick so maybe not suitable for detailed drawing/writing. They have other ranges including pencils with fine points. Novel but writes quite faintly.

I have one too. Very much a conversation piece or display piece. No real practical use. You have to press very hard and re-trace to get any kind of acceptable line. Actually, it may make a decent light shading instrument for sketching.
