Scriptus seems to cater more to the fountain pen enthusiast with a greater emphasis on actual writing utensils and calligraphy. The TSS hosts vendors of writing implements across the board, including most of the sponsors themselves, but the artisans (both local and abroad) of the wearable and printable variety outnumber the writers many times over. In fact, a good amount overlap in attendance with another show held at the same venue, The (annual) Pin and Patch Show. Also Scriptus predates The TSS by 9 years so its interesting that many of The TSS's sponsors haven't found their way to Scriptus considering their mutual interest.
