I only recently heard of Gravitas, and now I have a Quark Ultem Pocket Pen. It is very tiny, yet has a #6 size nib, and when posted it is like a full size pen. I love Extra Fine nibs, and my E.F. Quark made me very happy because most European pens write thicker than their size. Meaning E.F. writes like Fine, Fine writes like Medium, etc. Lucky for me the Gravitas Extra Fine, is like a Japanese Extra Fine, which is exactly what surprised and delighted me. Thank you for your review, at the time of my writing this comment I could not find any Delrin models available. Your all white Delrin Gravitas is awesome!
Thank you! I was taught classic cursive as a child. My handwriting develops based on how much I'm writing. If I'm writing a lot it finds shortcuts to be more efficient. If I'm writing less it's happy with more flourishes.
Every time I try to fill my converter completely, ink gets wasted due to extracting air bubbles (similar to your experience). I think leaving some space in the converter might help prevent ink waste.😊
I bought one and I love it for doodling. I haven’t had any problems and I bought three more. It just takes a little patience and strength to get the cartridges down all the way.
I HATE Rome Burning with a passion unknown by man before I did that ink swab. I keep it around just so I can give it the stink eye every time I open my ink cabinet. Haven’t tried the other one. 😂
I've used Moleskine notebooks for almost 20 years before ditching them due to the frankly indecent quality of their paper, I now mostly use Leuchtturm and Fabbriano notebooks, they are cheaper and of much higher quality, especially for fountain pens.
I just purchased the Green Marble version at the St. Louis pen show. The material is absolutely mesmerizing. It was a hard choice between the colors. The red kept grabbing my attention but in my heart, the green was it for me! Thanks for the review.
I was ERH 1453. A friend of mine sees it as Orange. I have gone through 2 1/2 bottles in every, every Noodler's pen, except Nib Creeper. It has ONLY ever shown RED. Perhaps, i need new friends?🤔
I think these papers are ok to write on as long as what you write on it is to be kept, because they will turn yellow within a year or two under the best circumstances.
You should try and get the inks noodlers did showing jews with devil horns. The owner thought there was more antisemites who would be ink buyers. They had a helicopter on the back in reference to how south american dictators would throw students out of helo's to murder them. Fun stuff! Great inks for drawing swastikas.
I picked up Boralis black when I was in college because I really wanted a super black black ink, but I fully admit that it may not have been the greatest choice. It was super messy - very wet, slow to dry, dissolved in water (and sweat). I used it as a daily ink anyways, because that was how much I liked the contrast on the page, but it made for smudges on all my notes and all over my hands.
Ugh! Maybe I'm in the minority but that latency in typing vs. letters showing up on the screen would drive me crazy. Its like when MS Word MS Outlook starts to crash and freak out and when your typing shows up after a few seconds. This would feel like that situation constantly. This device feels so much like a first world privilege bullshit...whereas a poor person in a poor country might be abel to write on paper or a used typewriter or heck even a $200 laptop running microsoft word....here we need a "dedicated e-typewriter" to help get rid of distractions. Sigh!!
Historically writers have been trying to get rid of distractions for centuries. Whether quill, fountain pen, typewriter, or e-ink typewriter. Which tells me that simply being distracted is not so much the problem as needing the tool that allows you to work, and well.
