PentelEnerGel a huge mess by
Steve
I just found your group and read it on regular basis. I'm beginning
to look for a pen to purchase, so I'm focusing on your
recommendations.
Just wanted to pass along. I just bought a cheap Pentel EnerGel pen
(blue Ink). I left it in the car for one day (a moderately hot day).
When I picked up...

Seeking old-style Rotring 600 ballpoints by
Jon Sarche
What can I say? This is the perfect pen, with its nice heft and the
cross-hatching at the bottom of the barrel. I can't find any, and was
hoping somebody on this group could recommend a source. Levenger had
been selling the old style, but it appears they're out. Please help --
I became addicted to...

First time FP buyer/user by
ArmsTom
Hey there everyone.
I've grown tired of the "5 for $3.97" pens you buy at WalMart and thought
I'd give a fountain pen a go. I'm a college student, so cost is a factor.
I don't /really/ want to spend above $50. I'm also a complete newbie to
foutain pens, so I want something that is relatively...

Ink Question by
eb
From a newbie - I moved up from a few cheap fountain pens to a
Waterman Phileas with a medium nib, which is terrific. I used one
cartridge, and then used the converter. I filled it with black Quink I
bought from Staples and am very satisfied with the results. While I'm
not looking to change inks, I...

New to the fountain pen world by
radarman
I have recently caught the bug and purchased what I think is a Parker
Vacumatic circa 1935 or so. I saw it in an antique mall for $14 and
thought I'd take a chance. Don't know if it works till I clean it up.
The nib is steel color with the Parker arrow in gold and the # 1 at
the base. Can anyone...

Ink colours in the past. by
Gary
Hi
Does anyone know why different coloured inks were used in the past, and for
what purpose? Why blue, red and black? Or violet and brown? Many thanks.

Rollabind hand punch vs. desk by
KCat
Any opinions on the relative ease of use of these? IOW - the hand punch
looks like it would be a pain. But the desk punch is ridiculously expensive
(ranging from $55 to $90 on-line.)
thanks much.

Noodlers' catfish...why? by
svejk
Just got another bottle of Noodler's and I see that now not only does
the bottle sport a fancy color label but the bottle comes in a box.
And if that weren't swanky enough and clear proof that any day now
Nathan will be sending his tanks of ink off to India to be stirred by
some unfortuante earning...

quick note on inks by
Scaupaug1
A set of tests including ball pens and sharpies... Note Noodler's black is 100%
water based ink - fill a pelikan or other visuated chamber pen and rinse it out
hundreds of times before your own eyes - see how clean it is....yet watch what
happens once the ink dries on cellulose...

Right Oblique nib for right-handers? by
svejk
I recently gave the opinion on ACPP that a Pelikan 200 with a custom
nib would be a great 'foolproof' pen for basic writing. Afterwards I
reflected that I might well take my own advice. Going to Richard
Binder's site I ordered a Cursive Italic .9mm nib in Right Oblique.
Richard's site will tell...
