I have some Staples brand "inkjet paper". Is it likely to be coated with anything that would clog a pen? Thanks David

Repair experts out there... everytime I work on a Vac and have to remove the nib/feed, putting it back together is a struggle. I mark the original nib orientation relative to the section, but the things are always super tight. After harpooning my thumb on the latest one I thought I'd ask if there...

Hello all! First time post; be gentle. I inherited a couple of Pentel Excalibur sets. The refills are marked RMJ6 0.6 and RMJ8 0.8. Any idea what replacements would fit these pens to make them functional? Jeff Miars

Hi, As a newbie to both this group and pens I keep seeing 'Da Book' mentioned as almost a bible on this and another groups. Can some one tell me what the real title is and the author so I can have a look? Thanks, Mike

CHECK PELIKAN'S WEB SITE--They clearly proclaim the bottle must be shaken before EACH use and the pen cleaned before EACH refill. Pelikan's web site also says the ink (PFI) is 'safe' to use in its (Pelikan's) pens. You summarily dismiss this 'minor' bit of information as so much dreck,...

I have noticed a few postings here recently about Pelikans and ink, which prompts my question: do only crazy people use Pelikan "fount" non-waterproof indian ink in their Pelikans? I stumbled on this in an art book that presents Pelikans as illustration, rather than writing, tools. This book...

Interested in Parker ballpoint pens? I have just self-published a new book on the topic. See my website for further details: http://ballpointpen.co.uk

Hello all, Looking for a Lodis writing instrument, I was umable to find any. I have done several web-searches, (How I found this group) and it seems no Lodis pens available out there. Are there any pens being marketed under the *Lodis* brand-name any more? Any information as to why Lodis may have...

Hello All: I access this Newsgroup via Google. It brings up all the threads in the Newsgroup. Is there a program or a site one can use which would offer the ability to filter out select content and / or posters? I'm afraid I'm not as knowledgeable about this stuff as I should be. Thanks

Hi! all I am offering the Mottishawed Boheme 18k two tone extra-flexible stub nib (nib and feed only- pen not included) for sale. It is very flexible. I realised I am a stiff nib guy and I have the nib replaced by Montblanc. I am selling the spare one CHEAP. The nib alone cost about $150 from a...

Also posted to Pentrace -------------------------------- I know we have all come across eBay sellers that are, how shall I say, less than honest. I found one that went above and beyond. The Pelikan m600 I bought from her arrived with a nib that had feed problems. I asked if she could send me a...

Dear friends, here the current pen list. Greetings from Germany, Werner Werner Kleinhorst Enter-Net Pen Auctions

Hello, While showing off a little inexpensive Italian-made pen to a fellow at an electronic parts store - I mentioned the nib was made in India and that it was an impressive nib for the price range (well, IMO, any price range)* He is interested in importing Camel Ink and Pens from India but...

I just bought my first Parker 51 (aerometric, black, medium nib, "press 4 times" type), and among it's many virtues one strikes me: the material. The pen wears some signs of use, as it was someone's daily instrument for 10 years, but it is still shiny and smooth. The plastic is tough and looks to...

I just got a Fahrney's catalog, and really dug the Sailor 1911. Anybody want to share experiences? I might just get one. What's a Zoom nib? Simply based on the nib chart, it gives a major line width variation. But what's special about its construction? Ken

Apologize if this is slightly off topic, but ... As journals I use standard composition books by Winnable and Blueline, and I'm quite happy with them. I even like the look of the hard binding. The problem is, there's no loop for a pen. What I'd really like is a leather (or even woven nylon) cover...
