Frontier at work again, and the 45 when I got home.

While I'm very fond of the 45, can I ask if anybody else has had a problem with it welling up a little too profusely? It's sometimes come up far too wet for my taste, occasionally spiting out huge globs of ink.

Platinum Preppy converted to an ED filler and loaded with Baystate Blue: a wonderful, trouble-free combination!

The trusty, flawless Rotring 600 (non-knurled) with Noodler's Navy for grading Final Exams. Delta Via Veneto with Delta Blue for some tickling of my addiction to Italians.

I suddenly, desperately needed a pen with gray ink, so I loaded a sample of Diamine Gray into a Parker Reflex, only to discover that the nib writes with a weird 'rubbery' feel.

Today's pens are:

 

Parker 51 '46 vintage with Parker Quink Blue Black

Pelikan 625 Blue/Sterling with Diamine Mediterranean Blue

Well it's Sunday and I am in my office trying to catch up on some paperwork that I have not done for 3 weeks, so just got my Cross Townsend with Noodlers BP Black.

 

Kind regards
