its not too bad but is noticeable on flexxy type nibs @Gloucesterman, no big deal, wipes off in seconds

Thank you for the response.

I used to like and use it. Eventually I just got tired of the cleaning up (including inside the cap) so I just quit using it.

It's curious, to me, because that is the only ink which I recall having that issue with.

Wishing you continued satisfaction with it.

I used the Levenger True Writer Pinkly, M nib, filled with Iroshizuku Yama Budo, and a Pilot Explorer white with CM nib, and the black ink cartridge that came with it.

I’m using the twin dragon pen in hopes of getting some good luck from the year of the dragon. It’s the year of the wood dragon to be precise. I was born in the year of the wood dragon. So where is the good luck?

I’m trying to write out the Diamine Purple Bow in my Lamy 2000 EF. I also used my Sailor Fude de Mannen to swatch and test inks,  and my Namiki Origami Penguin F.

The more you write with it, the more luck will come to you. I am using mine very often!☺️🖋️

  I used some seven different pens today, but the one I used the most was my blue Pilot Elite Lady with a Pilot red cartridge. I also used a turquoise Platinum EF short-long (PK-1000 ish model) with a Platinum Blue-Bkack cartridge, but I think the IG ink may have gone bad. It leaked out of the cartridge all over the back of the barrel and comes out super faded. I think I need to clean it out.

Would LOVE to see a writing sample from  this pen!

Must be a little like writing with a paint brush.

Wishing you much enjoyment with it.

Today it's been three pens:

1) Reform "Westinghouse" pen, F? nib -- still with the rehydrated cartridge of Edelstein Amethyst (swag from the first Pelikan Hub I attended).

2) Noodler's Charlie, flex nib -- still with Noodler's Heart of Darkness.

3) Parker Vector Shrek "Puss in Boots" pen -- still with Robert Oster Bishop to King (an ink I'm liking more and more every time I write with it in the pen).

Today it is the long awaited Gravitas Kyuseido Kakari equipped with a (great!) steel flex nib from FPR.

I intended to briefly test it with Diamine Aqua Lagoon, but it turned out to be a perfect match! I made it instantly to my pen of the week. The nib lays a comparably wet line, especially when flexed, which makes the ink appear more saturated and reveals a hint of pink (or magenta) sheen on good paper.

What I used here is another one of those conference pads with below average paper quality resulting in a bit broader lines, some minor feathering and no sheen.
