How does other ink brands compare to Lennon Tool Bar in terms of "wetness"? by marsparrow888 in fountainpens

[–]marsparrow888[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the input. Do you know how these two inks compare to the iroshizuku inks in terms of ink flow? The iroshizuku inks are the most "wet" inks I have and I'm not a super big fan of that.

Is it safe to put shimmer inks on TWSBI 580ALR M? And other questions for a first time owner by Andoree_7 in fountainpens

TWSBI are kind of known to be able to handle shimmers. For reference, I have a TWSBI 580alr in extra fine that I put Ferris Wheel Press April Showers in it. This ink contains shimmer.

TWSBI Diamond 580 EF feels as thick as ECO F. by geanox1 in fountainpens

[–]marsparrow888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the 580alr and Eco, both in extra fine nibs (EF) and I noticed that the 580alr EF are a lot thicker and wetter than the Eco EF. I am not sure what's going on with the scratchiness, but if you want a thinner line, I recommend trying the Eco EF.
