JESUS died for our sins on the cross, HE shed HIS holy, innocent , precious blood for us (HIS blood washes away ALL sins) HE was buried but on the third day GOD raised HIM from the dead. All you have to do to be saved is: Believe in JESUS, trust in HIS blood. JESUS did everything for you, no works are required for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9)
The ink itself is important, too. Some are "wetter" than others, some pens write wetter, too. A perfect match up of pen, ink and paper will make fountain pen writing downright sublime.
You summed that up so well! I have three pens that I consider “married” to particular inks, because they never have problems with consistent flow, cleaning, or leaks. Also, the pen color and ink color generally go together well. It’s such a happy occasion when I figure out a perfect pairing! (Like my Pelikan M205 with Taccia Uguisu, or my TWSBI Rose Gold with Diamine Ancient Copper. Happy pens with gorgeous inks.)
For students, i guess y’all can add Maruman’s loose leaf paper to the mix 😌 it’s what i’ve been using and so far it’s smooth and little to no bleed through!
It surprises me how few journalers on RU-vid use FPs. Most of them love using such a variety of pens and colors I would think the versatility of FPs would call to them
same and I think maybe it's just they weren't exposed to them at any point. I know I wasn't until recently & been journaling my entire life (I just turned 51 so it wasn't like yesterday or anything 😂) but fell down the FP rabbit hole through art, probably... can't remember exactly tbh, but there it is and now I'm having dreams of different colored inks, it's bad! or good, depending...
I agree with Kymberly and Angela. Try a cheap but good one like the Preppy. They come with a cartridge, so you don’t have to worry about ink at first. It’s all about writing easily, very little pressure. Enjoy the act of putting pen to paper. You will feel more elegant and beautiful if you let yourself! Hugs, hope you try.
I went back to fountain pen use after years of not using it. My work does not allow to use them for doc signing etc. But I went back to college and I remembered how much I hate writing with ballpoints and the likes. I have a death grip on them and my writing is shockingly bad looking. So recently I got Lamy Studio and never looked back. Now time to get to the point: I was making my study notes in regular, cheap notebook and was very annoyed at how scratchy the pen felt. So I watched few videos and decided to buy few Rhodia notebooks. OH MY GOD WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE! I WILL NEVER EVER BUY CHEAP RUN OF THE MILL NOTEBOOK IN MY LIFE!!!! My fiancee came back from work I gave her my pen and asked to write something in the old notebook first and than on Rhodia page. The moment she started writing in Rhodia she said: wow! So smooth. And cherry on top: writings don't smudge when highlighted anymore!!!
I recently rediscovered fountain pens for me. I am a leftie which means it really needs to be fast drying otherwise I get frustrated. Looking forward checking out the blog to see what I am going to test out
I’m looking at getting my first fountain (I’m a leftie too), what would you recommend for pen and ink? I’m considering the kaweco sport in either fine or medium, and I love all the Ferris wheel inks
@@oliviawaters7815 leftie here aswell. I just got me a kaweco, ive been journaling and drawing with it. I enjoy it over my lamy Al star. But I was just looking into what to do to practice my cursive with different nibs and colors. I want to write my poetry on paper and scan them. Problem is with me, I can't write straight across lol. Lined helps but I want to use different papers, pens, colors, etc. Scan and boom the author's penmanship.
believe it or not I have been using fountain pens with regular note book paper, works just fine, I am sure it would be better with paper made for fountain pens, mostly numbers
Before starting the video, I’m assuming the contents are 1. Use tomoe river 2. Use tomoe river ... N. Use tomoe river (If you’re interested in exploring the subtleties of fountain pen inks, especially shading and sheen, you can’t beat it for showing those off! This is how I became a hobonichi addict 😅)
You might try ‘Onion Skin’ paper for letter writing. I buy it by the ream. Rhodia graph notebooks are a must for mathematics. ‘French Lined’ Clairfontaine notebooks are great for good handwriting.
Caveat emptor : Tomoe River changed their paper in the midst of 2020 some new products featuring Tomoe River might indeed use the new version which is different than the glorious original one.
As the most of my writing is correspondence, I have found Clairefontaine Triomphe the best for my needs. I have some truly awful number 10 envelopes that I use for my bills, but it's a Clairefontaine envelope for the other things. You didn't mention that the Clairefontaine envelopes have a perforated side for easy opening. Is this just something that the 50 count "envelope pads" have, or is it something that they all have? (Mine are 80 GSM C6, if I remember correctly.)
I think you’ve sold me on your Kanso notebook! And I’ve wanted a Midori notebook or two for quite some time. I own several of the others mentioned already! Great video. Now, tell us about those pretty pens we got glimpses of?
Hey Jetpens! Do you have a blog or video about fountain pens and what to do if the ink has stopped flowing? I stored it properly and none of the sites I’ve checked out have helped :/
Hi there! Have you cleaned your pen in the last few weeks? We have a couple of guides that you might find useful: www.jetpens.com/blog/help-my-fountain-pen-wont-write/pt/569#Cleaned www.jetpens.com/blog/how-to-clean-a-fountain-pen/pt/259#How%20Basic
I know it was shown in the video, but don't post your Twsbi 580. It not only is too long but attaches to the piston on back, causing risk of pumping out ink.
Any fountain pen-friendly paper works fine with Extra Fine nibs! You can see some recommendations in our blog: www.jetpens.com/blog/The-Best-Fountain-Pen-Paper/pt/730
Can some one tell me how long does an fountain pen ink lasts I've been journaling with fountain pens for a long time but i am worried if its gonna fade later .
I tried fountain pen once, my problem is that they have to be constantly horizontal or else the ink will leak thru nib making a mess or takes time to go down the to the nib. its not for me 😔
Sounds like the pens cap didn't seal properly. Fountain pens normally write pretty well even when they were not used for quite some time... I never had problems with ink leaking through the nib - sounds like you could give it another try. Though I understand if you're just not a fan
I ‘m sure that if I wrote ( your printing) like that, not using the line as a reference and in between the two lines would produce an uneven form and take me all day to do a letter, let alone take notes. Your demo writing looks nice but not practical for everyday writing when several pages are written. Rhodia 80 gsm seems to perform well for me.
I can't find a calligraphy notebook for a good price here in Mexico. Every notebook under 5 dollars is the same generic product and I'm on a tight budget. Standard notebooks just aren't good enough for my Uniball Vision.
Extra fine fountain pens dispense less ink so they're less likely to feather (as opposed to a broad nib)! The Platinum Preppy works on regular paper: www.jetpens.com/Platinum-Preppy-Fountain-Pens/ct/5111
For use with fountain pens, cardstock paper might not be the best option since the ink will likely feather and bleed through. You can check out our fountain pen paper recommendations here: www.jetpens.com/blog/The-Best-Fountain-Pen-Paper/pt/730
Dot grid is like an in-between for graph paper and blank paper. It's really good for notebooks where you expect to do both drawing and writing. I have a pocket notebook with dot grid paper for example.
I know it's a bit off-topic but: I am looking for a refill that could be similar to PIGMA MICRON 01. but as a refill for normal type pen! I am left-handed and love the fast dry, waterproof, fade-proof, and 0.25mm tip! what do you recommend? thank you!
Before I started drawing with microns, I used the Pilot 4+1 multi pen with 0.5 ink. Whatever ink came in that is a dream! I love love love the tiny .38 frixion slim pens. So fine point and the color varieties are fun!
@@penelopefp Thank you for your experience I would say I am looking for a fat refill like Parker or pilot G2. I love this black micron ink but will switch to a non-disposable pen, that I can switch just the refills. probably I won't get a fine tip but looking for something that would give me the closest result as micron, I hate smearing as lefthanded but love small tips like 0,25 or 0,3. The Zebra Sarasa dry gel pen seems a good choice but a bit thicker then what i like
I really like the OHTO needle point gel refels I got for my Parker Jotters: www.jetpens.com/Ohto-Flash-Dry-Gel-Pen-Refill-Black/pd/22302 But they aren't waterproof. Though they are quick dry, needle point, fine tip (but not quite 01, that 0.5mm is actually similar to a Micron 03, defintely finer than the 05).
My Kanso Noto book is neither worth the hype nor the money. It is is step above Moleskine but that's not saying much. It must contain the new Tomoe River paper, as the paper is rough, prone to feathering, liable to jam nibs with loose fibers and does not allow the extent of shading characteristic of the original Tomoe River paper. When the current book is full, I will not be replacing it with another Kanso Noto.

Totally speaking for myself here... While I love the jetpens videos, the speed at which they do writing videos and examples are not realistic for me in real life. I write way faster... and of course my hand writing is no where as neat or pretty! 🤣😂
A terrible explanation of feathering, and why it happens. I truly hate "shading". It just looks like a sloppy mess you'd find coming out of a one dollar pen on a Walmart clearance isle. When I was young, everyone hated it. Then marketers took over, used the Microsoft approach and said is was a feature, not a bug. Bad, cheaqp, poorly formulated ink started selling like crazy. Now everyone who enters the fountain pen world is told that "shading" is great, beautiful, and might even cure cancer. I also hate Tomoe River paper, which is another thing we're all supposed to love. Yes, it displays ink better than any other paper. But it does this by making ink dry on the surface, which also means a lot of dye is left on the surface. I've seen this dye come back to life years later, sometimes just from high humitity. Or I guess that was the cause. We couldn't thgink of another reason. Dry time on TR can take forever. Some onks, largely bulletproof inks, can take days to reach the point where they won't smudge. Sometimes they never reach this point. Ghosting can be terrible. So bad you can only use one side of the paper. Tomoe River paper is already very expensive, but it costs twice as much when you can only use one side. It also creases very easily. I've seen and had a page crease badly just from turning the page. Tomoe River paper is simply NOT a good choice for writing you want to last for many years, or decades. And it's took expensive to use for writing you'll just through away in an hour, or even a week. All you can do is write on it, say, "Hey, the ink looks great on this paper", and then throw it away. There are just too many excellent fountain pen papers out there to use one that costs too much, and that has so many drawbacks. Just my four cents.
