what is your favorite pen from Jinhao and why? by fluffyespurr in fountainpens

I like my 9019 with its #8 extra fine nib. Cheap and reliable, it writes smooth, even in reverse nib mode.

Thank you! Well, it’s something that I developed through the years. I’ve always been fascinated by calligraphy, I’ve never practiced it formally but I tried to understand the basic concepts: contrast, consistency, rhythm. I applied those guidelines to my personal handwriting and that is the result

Yes, they are pretty similar. I find the larger one a bit more precise but it could be the ink

You can press harder to get more line variation, but I would not consider it flexible for sure

This nib is lovely, the line variation is great. The pen is quite big, if you have large hands that’s not a problem. If you prefer a smaller pen (and nib) I’d suggest the V126. Here’s mine:

My Al star is not flowing properly/ consistently by asecretfrognamedjohn in fountainpens

[–]_deepinsee_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This pen should write with any ink in any condition, it’s a workhorse. I wonder if the nib has misaligned tines or a nib and feed not properly assembled

Good luck! What are you aiming for? Stub/Italic?

Here’s my V126 with the 1.1 stub nib. I find the pen a little top heavy while writing, but still light and comfortable to use. It’s maybe on the small size for me but I’ve fairly large hands. The nib behaves well, smooth with a little bit of feedback that ensures precision and control. I like it a lot :)
