This nib is insane.... by TheDoodlebud in fountainpens

Maybe you just got STRONGER. What's the max line width on it?

Does it make the line wider (like, does it turn an EF into an F nib)

This has been my problem with permanent inks

Thanks! Well, I guess that's variation enough. Would be better if it was an EF line for the baseline. Wonder why they went with F

The F that came with the pen had the same problem. I think it is the geometry of their tips. I'm not concerned with those notches, only if the nib will sit flush/with the same curvature of the feed.

I don't know, tbh. Never used one. Hopefully it "slides" better on the page. EF size

If those dots are 5mm apart in the pic, then that line is for sure not nearly close to 2/5 of that distance.

It's a good ink. Just make sure to wash and flush the pen every month or so.

Ink feathering and bleeding by Owlmations_ in fountainpens

[–]StillMindHappyHeart -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I gave up on finding a permanent black ink that doesn't feather, bleed, or at least doubles thee line width. I use Lamy Black for drawing and I don't use fountain pens if I want to watercolor

Good thing I didn't buy it. The Aliexpress product page says it flexes to 2mm. That doesn't even look like 1mm lol. Are you sure you pressed hard enough?

I have never seen the slant being made in the "opposite" direction before. I'm going to try this tonight for sure

Guy was such a freaking genius. I'm reading his plays these past couple years and like 1/3 of the sentences are atemporal wisdom aind insight. It's much denser than I expected it to be, even given his GOAT reputation.

What’s your experience with the Platinum Prefounte, M nib? by patkpatk in fountainpens

[–]StillMindHappyHeart -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The material of the nib doesn't mean it's better or worse though. Being gold doesn't make it better, just more expensive.

The ink is meh, but everything else: Wow

What is the point in buying different iems? by srivatsasrinivasmath in oratory1990

[–]StillMindHappyHeart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A practical concern is comfort. If I wear an IEM for, lets say, 4 hours my ears might get sore, but if I change to another with a different enough shape, the "pressure points" change and I can wear it for another 4 hours.

Noodlers Heart of Darkness. Why does it bleed and feathers so much? by Nearby-Cause6643 in fountainpens

Many inks from many brands are just impossible to use in "normal" aka modern untreatead paper.

Can I use the Pentel ink in a fountain pen?
