carbon based inks and pens to use
Matthew writes: To anybody out there that has used higgins or pelikan fount, what pens are you using with these inks? Are you dilluting them at all? I use Pelikan Fount India in fountain pen called Pelikan Steno. I do not dilute it at all. I have had no problems with this combination of pen and ink. I wash that pen carefully about once a year. If I ever will have problems with this combination of pen and ink, I can send that pen to Pelikan. In that case they would be forced to react, because it would be a situation where pen has had problems with ink made by same manufacturer. -- Juhapekka "naula" Tolvanen * http colon slash slash iki dot fi slash juhtolv "Boku wa ongakuka dentaku katate ni.

It has only one nib size: Very very narrow. It also has some flexibility, because it is made for stenography (aka "shorthand writing"), as the name suggests. In some stenography systems the width of line has some meaning. -- Juhapekka "naula" Tolvanen * http colon slash slash iki dot fi slash juhtolv "Boku wa ongakuka dentaku katate ni. Ta****ari.

I haven't used either lately (last summer most recently, I think), but I last used the current Higgins Fountain Pen India in a Waterman Harmonie, and the current Pelikan Fount India in a 30's Wearever. In the 80's, I used both a lot in a Platignum calligraphy FP. I've never diluted either, and only had a clog when I let the calligraphy pen completely dry out. Brian -- |

Thanks for the responses on this thread. I adjusted a few of my pens to write wetter and am pretty happy with the combination so far. The eternal works great in the wality eye-dropper; the only trouble is the wality is a turd. I'm using the ink in a kaweco sport ED(converted) and it works great. matthew |
