shaking ink? by
JK
I was one of those who picked up a Pelikan 605 in the Levengers sale.
Gave it its first fill of the wonderful Noodler's Black, and started
writing....and was surprised to see a line of ink that was distinctly "mid-
grey" rather than the normal dense black I'm used to from Noodler's (which
I only...

ink by
Gregg Gibson
Here's an interesting ebook on ink and printing I ran across:
A http://www.worldwideschool.org/library/books/tech/printing/FortyCenturiesofInk/Chap0.html

ink chemistry that are beyond me, but also a lot of...

Parker 45 converter by
John B. Egger
I'm finding that my Parker 45, equipped with a Parker converter, will
not draw ink from the bottle when it's installed in the pen... but it
will when I remove it from the pen and insert it directly into the

light fast but washable ink ? by
no spam
Hi,
I am looking for a fountain pen ink that would be "light fast", I mean
that wouldn't fade, even exposed to bright sun for a prolonged amount of
time.
I don't want a waterproof ink, on the contrary, I'd like it to be somewhat
washable so that the paper can be recycled with less effort.
In...

Anyone find the 605 a bit scratchy? by
John B. Egger
I just filled my Levenger's Pelikan 605 with Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue and
put it to paper. It seems a little scratchy. Not bad... but it may not
be quite as smooth as my Waterman Phileas, and it definitely isn't as
smooth as the Namiki Vanishing Point that's become my favorite pen.
I've only...

Placing feed into section by
Perry
Hi, all. What's the best tool to use when pushing a nib/feed assembly
back into the section? I'm working on Skylines, but a general
suggestion is welcome, too. Section pliers look like they'd work. Any
advice?

Review of Graham Hogg's The Parker Ballpoint Pen, second edition 2004 by
James Goodwin
Gents: I just received a copy of the above mentioned book and
immediately started to devour it for its knowledge. There is a
preponderance of books on the fountain pen and they are greater in
number than those about ball point pens. No disrepect intended to
those who own and use fountain pens,...

First of all, what a difference from my metal Technixx! A nice light
pen but a tiny bit bigger, the perfect size. I really like the fine
nib as compared to the medium - exactly perfect for me.
Now, I've never used a drinker before, but I seemed to fill up the
reservoir without any problems. The...
