Imagine getting paid $1000 everytime you refer just 20 people to our vitamins. The Greatest Vitamin in the World is one bottle of vitamins that nutritionally supports the entire body. This vitamin is endorsed by the NBCCA representing most teams in the NBA! It also has the Gold seal award for...

I have a Parker fountain pen which has the hooded nib similar to the Parker "21" , the "51" and the "45". The cap has the Parker name embossed and the "made in usa" and the oval with the arrow through it, but no model number or other indication. The pen is a cartridge fill pen so it is probably...

Just received an inkwell with an included dip pen whose nib reads: SUB'Y CO'S UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION No 8 Does anyone have any idea who made this? Jeff

After a week of writing with nothing but Noodler's Black, I decided to slap a bottle o' Private Reserve Velvet Black into the vise and run a comparison. The ink delivery system (a/k/a pen) was a wet-writing Omas Paragon. Both inks are well-saturated and black-as-all-get-out, with no discernible...

The Cross icon is a strange pen. It looks and operates strange (to me at least). But it has some of the best gel color that I've ever seen. It writes smooth, wet and the color shines. Now, if only I could use that gel in my fountain pens...

I always check out the pens at TarZhay, and yesterday was surprised to see a silver fountain pen (called the Heyday) in with the other 'nicer' pens there (the boxed ones that usually sell for about $9 or so). Couldn't resist (and I figured even if I didn't like it, I'd be subtly telling TarZhay to...

I've seen the advice here to not use old ink cartridges that are partly dried out because the ink may be too thick and may clog the pen. However, what if I open the cartridge and just inject some water? Should that reconstitute the ink to its original consistency and make it okay to use? I've...

I was advised to be carefull using my favourite Parker ink in Pelikan pens as Paker ink is said to gum ink ways. Any reccomendation for an ink that has the flow and glow of Parker blue. I find Pelikan blue too watery. Jon

I now have images of the P51B Mustang PARKER 51 up on my web site. http://www.inkblotters.com/mustang/images/MustangFlying2.jpg Some actual vintage images yet to load, but you can read all about this model and view some interesting historical P51B links. Last year's 1944 RAF Spitfire MK Vb...

Since breaking my couple-of-decades old habit of only using Quink black about three years ago, my ink shelf has grown to over 100 inks, not counting duplicates of favorites, discontinued, and vintage inks. Today, some of those I consider to be of inferior quality went down the sink. These included...

Hi! Is there a way to cut costs by buying ink in bulk and refilling a Rollerball gel pen when the ink runs out? The refill cartridges (e.g. LAMY M66) are so expensive! I tried by dissassembling my LAMY M66 cartridge and dipping the inside tube straight into some ink, but it didn't seem to work....

I just got a new Pelikan M800. This being my first fountain pen I have a few questions: 1. I see a lot of talk about some pens being 'scratchy' but how do you define that? This pen does not seem to write as smooth as my roller ball, but it does not catch on the paper either. Should it feel...
