Calling All Pilot Wa Users...

[senzen]

So I did a search and didn't find info about one parameter I care about a lot: does this nib write wet, so ink comes out saturated, or does it write more dry, so inks look lighter? My preference depends on the ink, I like Tsuyu Kusa in a wet pen but Kon Peki and Verdigris in a dry pen.

 

Second related question: does ink tend to come out consistently or does it shade?

I have the WA nib on a Pilot Custom 823 which I purchased from Tokyo Quill. I believe they do a thorough check before shipping. Having said that, the nib writes about 6-7 wetness for me on a scales of 10. I believe the shading depends on the ink you use.

Thank you!
