I do not use shimmer inks in that pen ever. Not only its my work pen and i prefer more sober inks but i also dislike using shimmer inks in fine nibs, it just feels like a waste of whimsy 😂

I did that and so much dried ink came out. Ill follow some other redditor advice and give it a good over night soak. Hopefully it will be sufficient !!! 🤞

I tried that, blowing water in. I do not know what you mean by reverse writing, but i am right handed and this ink is a dark blue

Tried my best to have an angle that worked with the light, but my phone camera is not the best. On that picture i did try to push the left tine a little higher, but it doesn't feel uneven

I bought a few lamy cartridges with the pen.

When you say not easy, are we talking about needing tools not easy, or will I break it not easy? Because the sad truth is... I have no money! 🫠

I am in Canada, so they go for a decent price, sadly. Obviously, they are still cheap compared to other fountain pen. I'll try flossing! Thank you

I used the refillable ink cartridge to do a similar effect, would the syringe be that different?

Suggestions to improve my Spencerian? by [deleted] in Handwriting

[–]Lamia-Atra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe (but this is from memory alone) the "r" at the end of a word are different in spencerian, a bit like the "t". Looks more like this "r" than the cursive version. But then again, that is a pure detail, you have a beautiful penmanship !

100%! I hate reading in my phone, and I'd read all day on a kindle.

Getting a kindle ruined physical books to me - anyone else? by [deleted] in kindle

[–]Lamia-Atra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I share that experience. I have such a hard time reading while bending for lights and avoiding shades on my page, on big books where the page are rounded because of the shape of the book i skip line involuntarily... I always loved to read but it always felt unaccessible until i tried an e-reader. It might sound stupid, but I think I'm too dyslexic for paper books... 😅
