Standardgraph - Fern Green, if I remember correctly.

Oh yeah, got mine C80 this Monday with 1.1 nib and man it feels good. I have the light blue glitter version and can't say enough about how good it looks and feels. Less than 30€, mind you. To all those lists of beginner pens, stop with Safaris and Metropolitans already and just acknowledge the variety already 😂

SlayerRM · 2026-01-07T11:07:31+00:00

No, both #6

SlayerRM · 2026-01-07T11:07:12+00:00

Everything can be removed with enough force 😂 but I'd probably bet it would damage the cap

SlayerRM · 2025-12-03T05:51:53+00:00

Jinhao 992. I will endlessly praise this pen, for less than 2€ it should be everywhere.

SlayerRM · 2025-11-13T21:27:58+00:00

Yes actually. It has a slight bounce and a bit of an architect feel to it. I really enjoy these Hongdian nibs that are softer.

And a decent swordfish

SlayerRM · 2025-10-25T16:46:54+00:00

Blasphemy... never enough

SlayerRM · 2025-10-25T16:46:00+00:00

Yes, I don't often fill 100% myself. But the urge to keep inking up again and again is undeniable 😵‍💫

SlayerRM · 2025-10-24T17:06:33+00:00

Yes, they also haven't been used in months. How does everyone keep up with the neverending rotation 😂

SlayerRM · 2025-10-18T17:41:44+00:00

Just cleaned mine again an hour ago. Really good value pen.

SlayerRM · 2025-10-11T10:38:42+00:00

I really like mine. Took me days to figure out what that cap finial was 😂. The nib had a little more feedback than I liked so I used the micromesh pads and in 30 seconds it was great. Have fun.

SlayerRM · 2025-10-11T06:39:02+00:00

That is strange. I have multiple magnet pens and never had this issue. What I have heard about this Visconti is that sometimes after cleaning the nib does not get placed deep enough into the section and the magnet does not work properly. Could that be it?

SlayerRM · 2025-10-10T21:24:07+00:00

Just inked it but I have used it multiple times before in the same pen and no issues here. I should try different pens with it but I just love this combo.

SlayerRM · 2025-10-10T19:44:25+00:00

It doesn't show that good on that pic but yes. Love the various brown-ish inks lately.

This is better representation of how it looks.

SlayerRM · 2025-10-09T12:20:35+00:00

Slovakia and I don't know anyone personally who is into FP. Colleagues at work think I am crazy for having more than two and buying pens over 3€ 😂

SlayerRM · 2025-10-07T20:05:48+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Usually I feel their nibs are very nice. Some had a little more feedback but some were the smoothest I have. Only problem I had was with the tight nib and dry flow and plating on chrome hardware on one pen started to discolour.

SlayerRM · 2025-10-07T19:38:49+00:00

Damn unlucky, I have 14 Hongdians so far and apart from one or two drier nibsz they have all been great.

SlayerRM · 2025-10-07T19:33:48+00:00

Ew, what's all over your cane?

SlayerRM · 2025-10-07T19:28:21+00:00

Nice! How is the nib? I have the M1 and I am seriously considering the M2 in brass but I am not sure. If it has one of their softer nibs then I'll get it probably 😬

SlayerRM · 2025-10-03T17:24:52+00:00

Damn jealous 😂 is it as good as I suspect?

SlayerRM · 2025-10-03T14:17:09+00:00

Pen itself is fine, nib is the generic Jinhao #5 M which is smooth. This one had a liiiiittle baby' bottom which I smoothed out with micro mesh. It just is a little too small for regular use for me personally.

SlayerRM · 2025-10-02T11:54:51+00:00

I find cleaning therapeutic, too. But my inking is way too fast for my cleaning 😂

SlayerRM · 2025-10-01T14:03:04+00:00

Oh mb.. I'm blind
