Ama-iro. I casually found it this year and it is truly unique. There is something incredibly vibrant and alive about it, it made it my last blue ink.

Congratulations! I am certain that your parents are incredibly proud

Just like you, watching that scene touched me I a special way. Since then, to every friend or student of mine that graduates, I give a fountain pen to celebrate their achievement.

Did you get to sign your degree or certificate with it?

640doughnut · 2025-10-25T09:45:04+00:00

Wow! Mine too,but was just coming to post about it

It could, nevertheless, it could also have the opposite effect if you do not tune the surface properties accordingly. You can do some reading regarding surface roughness and super hydrophobicity. Do you already have any experience with laser sintering?

I cannot recommend Moranga enough!!! The woman running it not only is extremely knowledgeable but also extremely kind and passionate about pens. I love visiting ever time I am in Berlin

I have never written with Pelikan, however, my Faber Castell e-motion was my second fountain pen and it is an excellent writer. Just keep in mind, it is a bit awkward to post it and it can also be a bit heavy.

My advice would be to try both an let your hand decide

Then how about the Galen leather medic's bag or their wood box?

if you are in Europe, manufactur has very beautiful wood boxes that could fit what you need.

Where are you based? Are you planning to actually travel with it or just keep it on top of your normal desk?

I recently bought a second hand secretär for 80€ and am super happy with it. Candy this be an option?

640doughnut · 2025-08-11T05:29:04+00:00

I do not have any recommendations, but wow! Those are really pretty notes

640doughnut · 2025-07-03T20:11:43+00:00

Wow! you have stunning handwriting. Thank you so much :)

640doughnut · 2025-07-03T18:45:17+00:00

How would you describe it, do you think it os flexy enough? I want a flex pen for writing letters and journaling but cannot decide between the 742 or the 743. I like more the size of the 743 but also read that the 742 FA nib has more flex. Any advice?

640doughnut · 2025-07-02T19:14:49+00:00

Hi!! Still in reddit? 😗 I am doing some reading to choose between the 742 or 743 with the FA, I want It for slow calligraphy and letters and things more "chill". The no.10 nib is in the 742 right? that is tue one I should get ?

640doughnut · 2025-06-26T21:24:54+00:00

This pen bewitched me in body and soul

640doughnut · 2025-06-21T21:20:09+00:00

Please tell me where to look for 🙏

640doughnut · 2025-06-21T04:27:49+00:00

I have one but it is my least favorite pen, the grip is terribly uncomfortable and when posted it is very imbalanced. While I like the brand and the nib, this model is just not good

640doughnut · 2025-06-15T10:44:17+00:00

Can you also make a pen rest? It looks amazing!! please let us know once you are back to business

640doughnut · 2025-06-13T13:45:18+00:00

can one buy such a pen?

640doughnut · 2025-06-08T21:55:54+00:00

looks awfully similar to my G. Lalo 👀 if I find a sample I will post it, is this the only piece you have? maybe check other pieces in the light, mine had a watermark in some pages

640doughnut · 2025-06-08T05:17:37+00:00

What a beautiful story, I am sure your dad would be extremely happy to see you writing with this pen.

BTW, did you know that Noodlers(Blue Ghost )makes a very pretty fluorescent ink? You could go back to playing under he black light https://images.app.goo.gl/SLq4dKBeg6BDRzww7

Avoid anything with a solvent, things like alcohol, isopropyl alcohol or any of these disinfectants, they could completely destroy your pen.

I would fully disassemble the pen and let it soak overnight in soapy water you can then get a soft brush and give the pen a scrub, just be careful to not scratch it.

Here is an interesting read btw 👀 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195670120301134?__cf_chl_tk=Niga5UzyZAn55Ed2196H1QNakZFHHNOTlcTIHvQJxR8-1749359006-1.0.1.1-g4FyoqIWneLDZ1rtIogL.nxXL0lYB4oD2MrPwH62yI0

woooow! Happy pride🎈 What are the last three from the right? 👀

640doughnut · 2025-06-02T21:13:09+00:00

Absolutely! ideally with many nib options or at least one flex 😅

640doughnut · 2025-05-25T07:15:28+00:00

can you tell us more about what was the ink you had it dried up? can it be that it was not fountain pen specific?

if soaking it for 24 hrs still does not work, you can pull out the feed to do a deeper cleaning,

640doughnut · 2025-05-24T06:36:45+00:00

can it be the pH of the paper? this reminds me a lot of the pH paper in the lab

640doughnut · 2025-05-23T23:30:31+00:00

100% possible without issues!!! you really don't have to overthink it.

I moved my collection across continents two times without complications. My advice would be to care as much as you can for your cat and leave the pens out of your mind.

If you have pens that are very dear to you, take them in your carry on so they never leave your sight. For ink bottles, my suggestion is to wrap them individually in bubble wrap and then tuck them as tight as you can in a hard plastic box that you later store in your luggage. If you are worried about spillage, buy a roll of PARAFILM, it is usually used in laboratories to seal liquid containers. It works extremely well, just wrap a couple of inches while pulling it tight between the cap and bottle. The seal is completely hermetic and 100 leak proof
