Oblique nibs? by Bluesea
Understanding that right-handed writers generally prefer left oblique nibs, I ordered one. But, I find that I prefer the type of line it makes when writing with it upside-down (top of nib facing down towards paper instead of the usual up towards ceiling) and I'm thinking of exchanging it for a...

Favorite Ballpoint by John
Yes, wake the kids and phone the neighbors. This ol' chestnut is back! What is your favorite ballpoint . . . that costs more that a buck a refill? (Sorry John Cline II -- this will rule out the mighty Bic which IMHO is the best disposable). I find that my choices vary: Black medium point -...

Best shirt-pocket notebook? by John B. Egger
The Moleskines I've seen are too large; the 3x4.25 Clairefontaines I just received are rather small. Suggestions for a good ink-friendly notebook that will fit nicely in an ordinary shirt pocket? -- --John Registered Linux User #291592

Second Fountain pen? by Doki
I've currently got a Cross ATX which I bought a while ago and enjoy writing with, but it needs sending off to Cross for repairs, so I'd like an extra pen. My local Staples have various fountain pens on offer after Christmas (Shaeffer, Waterman and Rotring), and I'd prefer not to spend a fortune...

Pen buyers ... by William Lee
It would seem that there are many dstinct factors involving what makes a person want a pen. I think two best discribe most pen buyers. 1) The Feel. If you close your eyes and write with a pen you know right away if you like the feel and balance of that Pen. You like the way it feels in your...

REQ: Post your favorite pen! by Aaron W. Hsu[_3_]
Hey Everyone, So, it's been quiet here, but I was just thinking that it would be really cool if everyone could post up pictures of their favorite pens, either their favorite no-use pen or their favorite pen that they use to write with, maybe both? It would be interesting to see what everyone...

question of ink by Scaupaug
OK...nobody likes to buy bulk ink in a plastic jug. I would therefore like to ask two questions about ink: What is the lowest price point you know of for a mint/flawless 2 ounce bottle of GOOD ink with great contrast in its color selection once written on paper. (example: the burgundy is almost...

roller balls by DaveW
Am I alone in that I have never, never been able to make a roller ball pen work properly for very long? They always seem to stop putting out ink in a very short order. Even before that, they tend to either not flow fast enough or make blots and feather. I don not usually have such problems with...

Good writing paper by sbsawler
Hi: I've been using Levenger's Circa paper to write on; I find it is smooth, adsorbs and absorbs the ink well (Waterman ink) and enables writing on boths sides of the page. (...I'm ashamed to say that I've not checked to see if it's acid free...) What are you folks using or what would you...

blue or black ink? by Chuck Swisher
Jo wrote: " Is anyone using black ink in a fountain pen? Does that look good? I know black ink only from india ink and calligraphy. Pelikan sells ink refills in big bottles (1000 ml) only for the two colors royal blue and black. So there must be a market for black ink, I guess. I'm trying...

Interested in ballpoint pen quality by David P
The obvious choice would be something like the Pilot v5. A really nice pen. For what it's worth, I use fountain pens, and prefer a Waterman Phileas or Pilot 51, but I would recommend the following as the perfect rollerball: Look for a kyocera-ceramic-refill based pen. You might look at...

REAL Writer's Pen by morten
Much has been written in these interesting and valuable posts about pens. Many though are written based on qualifications like appearance, nib quality, ink flow, collectibility, value, etc. Good OBJECTIVE standards of the elements of a pen I suppose. But I'm not sure, based on what I've read,...

Pilot Capless Decimo squeaks! by Moira Perkins
Hi acpp, I while ago I got a Pilot Capless (standard model, broad). Loved it. I can resist anything except temptation... Now I've got the "Decimo", and it's like a slimline version of the original. I got another broad nib. The weird thing about this is the squeaking noise it makes as...

Smoothness of black inks, compared to other colors. Why?! by BigBen
Hi All, My somewhat limited experience with inks, tells me that black inks are the smoothest and best flowing of all, without being "watery". Why, please, if anyone knows the answer? Other than that: alternatives to Waterman Havana Brown, that make your scratchy pens feel normal, and your goods...
