Just a note the ink converters are proprietary, so you need a sailor converter for the sailor and a Lamy converter for the Lamy. Some European pens are “universal”. Most Japanese pens, Pilot, Sailor and Platinum use their own converters.Thanks for the video.( I teach “Sketching with Fountain Pens” classes.)
It was helpful to know the DeAtramentis "document ink" is the waterproof one. I got a document ink and a regular , thinking they were both waterproof. Now I know, thanks so much! I love my fountain pens!
The difference between the 2 Sailor pens is the angle of the nib. The green one has a 55 degree nib and the other, a 40 degree. You can get a thicker line with the 40 degree. I have the green one, and the line is thick enough for me.
The green and navy blue Fude DeMannen pens that are the same model but different color, have different nib angles, that’s true. But this shorter model Sailor 1911 Profit Fude DeMannen in navy blue also has a 55 degree angle.
It's possible to refill the cartridges for the Pentel Brush Pen, using a syringe. I use Platinum Carbon Ink for this. Thanks for these vids Koosje... admire your tenacity in keeping on with them.. Look forward to hearing more about the book. ;-)
I use the Lamy with broad nib & Carbon ink, and I love it. The ink is also great with brushes. Ik kocht dit vorig jaar na jouw video hierover, geweldig advies...dank je Koosje!
Really great you are writing a book. Now I am using a pen which is made of bamboo. It was a part of a chinese calligraphy set. It is totally unpredictable but fun to use with different inks. My favourite inks are Windsor and Newton and kooh i noor (I don't remember exactly the name of the brand). The umbria and sienna colors are pretty beatiful. ☺️
Ik ben heel blij met mijn Lamy vulpen. Bedankt voor de tip. In heb de inktfles gekocht. Als ik op vakantie ga vind ik cartridges handiger. Heb jij een tip voor vullingen met watervaste inkt? Ik heb ze nog niet gevonden.
Thank you for paying attention, Aleesha! I just added it to the description (i knew I was forgetting something) and here it is again: koosjekoene.com/stay-in-the-loop-about-my-book/
