Mar 13, 2020 · I (or, rather, my parents) bought me the pens; however, I assume that the school would've stipulated or recommended what supplies we should get. I vividly recall being fascinated with the Sheaffer ink bottles with the built-in reservoirs (I was really into Peacock Blue). I also had several colors of Penit ink in the small, faceted glass bottles.

Sep 2, 2009 · The J. Herbin company was created in 1670, when Louis XIV was thirty-two years old. This illustrious ink is created with natural dyes and continues to be manufactured in France. A bottle of J. Herbin contains 30 mL of ink. And I think Diamine inks have been manufactured since the mid-1860s. And of course there has been ink since there's been ...

Jan 11, 2009 · Dip pens only, please. Acrylic dries (or the polymers do what they do), and. does not move. You can use acrylic paint like watercolor, but once on the. paper and dried, it does not lift off, like some watercolor pigments. For. dip pens, you are probably better off getting the acrylic ink products, instead

Oct 8, 2016 · The other places I use ink is in ink-pads for rubber stamps, and ink for dip pens for hard-core calligraphy. This ink usually has shellac and is not suitable for fountain pens. Both of these didn't need to be mentioned here but they do have their own nuances and classifications, dye-based / pigment based, alcohol based versus water based ...

Jan 4, 2010 · Hi, as my family hears of my passion for pens, many aunts and uncles are unearthing old, neglected but beautiful pens from attics. For Instance I have been presented two Geha piston fillers from the 70s that have dried ink in them but are otheriwse perfect. I have flushed, soaked and rinsed them ...

Aug 5, 2007 · In some older pens, like my Waterman 0502 GF overlay, they had a small twisted wire inserted in the section that extended about an inch into the barrel/reservoir to facilitate the ink flow. Also common at the time were the small pen/pencil combo GF engraved metal sliding pens with semi-precious jewels in the ends that were easily carried in the ...

Feb 26, 2010 · Maybe it's odd, but just about the best behaving inks I've tried for a dip pen (including a couple Private Reserve and a couple Noodler's colors) are a black inkjet refill ink, which appears to be carbon particle based, and my homemade iron tannate ink (started with ten bags of Red Rose tea, a quart of boiling water, several steel wool balls, and a cup of battery …

Feb 15, 2017 · Sheen is possible with some of these ink, at least on Tomoe River paper, but water resistance is uniformly not good. That said Pelikan 4001 Turkis Turquoise, Noodler's Midway Blue (ok, not a turquoise for sure), Noodler's American Eel Turquoise, and of course, KWZ IG (iron gall) Turquoise hold up surprisingly well to water.

Aug 12, 2007 · 2. A fine line from a fine nib dries faster. There's less ink exposed to the air. Therefore, if it dries faster, there's little risk of smudging happening. 3. Fine lined writing means that it's easier to read (perhaps?). Whereas with fat-nibbed pens, the ink runs together and you'll have crappy, hard-to-read handwriting without the problem of ...

Dec 2, 2008 · I being ink with me, usually in a small vial, enough for 2-3 fills. I started to keep a bottle at work, too- used to work at home, but now I've an office. I keep my vial and pens in my man purse, which comes inside with me -or- I only take one or two pens and keep them on my person, where they won't freeze. Since we're sharing random cold ...
