Review: Pelikan ink roller
Specs: Length capped: 5-1/8 inches Length uncapped: 4-11/16 inches Length posted: 5-7/8 inches Diameter: approx. 3/8 inch on the grip Weight with short standard international cartridge: 0.305 oz Weight of long standard international cartridge: .07 oz. I ordered this only because the line was supposed to be finer than that laid down by the Kaweco Sport ink roller, discovering that line width for ink rollers is strongly dependent on the ink used. Using the short cartridge that came with the Kaweco, the line is just as broad as the Kaweco made. However, I have to use more pressure because it often skips if I don't. The pen is utilitarian in appearance with a black plastic cap and a translucent dark turquoise barrel (other barrel colors are available). The clip is plastic and feels like it would break if handled carelessly, but makes a nice, clear, sharp, clicking sound when played with. The grip section is ridged which isn't comfortable especially because I have to use more pressure than with the Kaweco. The long cartridge supplied is solid, not translucent, so I'm not likely to use it soon because I like to see my ink levels and I have other empty cartridges I can use when the short cart is empty. I don't know what makes a pen a good candidate for conversion to an ED, but as long as I'm planning to buy o-rings for my Preppy and Petit1s, I don't see anything about this IR that precludes it from being converted, too. Will report back when I try. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email. Please take out the trash before sending a direct reply. |
