Solkanar512 posted:Ugh, gently caress Private Reserve. I bought a bottle of Naples Blue, a really nice blue. The drat ink would smear days after writing just because I put my hand on it. Maybe folks have better luck with it, but ugh. Iroshizuku is not permanent if you're looking for waterproof or really anything proof. They are inks designed specifically for color and good behavior permanence be damned.

Fayk posted:I know some people who prefer Zebra Sarasa/etc gel pens to things like the Pilot G-2. I tended to use Uniball 207s and I know that they had trouble marking some surfaces that ballpoints did fine with. That or it would mark but not dry (such as label tape in the lab).

Solkanar512 posted:So I've really been wondering something about converting pens to eyedroppers. I'm fairly certain at least the second one may be an issue since it has to do with galvanic corrosion. I don't know what kind of stuff goes into inks, but if there are any electrolytes, galvanic corrosion could become an issue. I'd have to look up some of the electrochemical potentials to really give an answer of how big of a deal it is.

Synastren posted:I was thinking about getting a Stub 1.1, but I wanted to ask how it compares to using a Lamy F (everyone else's M) nib. I'm mostly concerned about thickness, and the feel. Are the lines comparable? Smaller than the Lamy F? Larger? I think F is usually around 0.5 and M is usually around 0.7, but this of course will vary based on nib manufacturer, ink, and paper. It's either that or I'm confusing F and EF.

cobalt impurity posted:The problem with Moleskine is that they don't have consistent paper sources. All the problems that have already been mentioned are because they don't buy all their paper from one manufacturer, and they don't really grade their paper by weight. It's a total crap shoot and, yeah, you're paying for the name. I will second Clairefontaine. The paper is incredibly smooth and I've only had even a hint bleedthrough from accidentally dumping a drop of ink off of a flex nib. One thing to remember is that you may still have some show through for lack of a better term (sort of like holding a paper up to the light).

Brightman posted:My only problem with any "fancy" paper is I tend to forget that the ink generally takes longer to dry on it, and I'll end up smudging something or turning the page too quickly. I haven't had too much trouble with Moleskine myself, but I don't remember exactly what I have that is Moleskine, I wanna say one of the small notebooks (maybe 2) and 1 large one, but that might be something else. I suppose slow drying is one potential issue with Clairefontaine paper. I usually use an EF nib since I use the notebooks for class so I've never really had much of a problem with that.
