You could try the ol' hairpsray trick. I think Aquanet is the classic for charcoal and graphite drawings, though I don't know if it'd be too wet for ink.

There's a spreadsheet a page or two back listing all the noodler inks and their various anti-water anti-illuminati qualities, I'm sure more than the black and blue-black are waterproof.

I very likely have the same Cross pen because Staples really only sells the one, and I am not fond of it. It feels wrong in my hand, doesn't post well, and I found the nib movement to be a bit slippery. Different strokes, though.

Vitamins posted:Noodlers eternal inks bind with cellulose, which makes them permanent on paper. It also makes them permanent on natural fibres like cotton, so you're screwed if you spill it on some clothes. Synthetics will survive though! Or, just stain the rest of the shirt and you've got a sweet new black top.

Demon_Corsair posted:Right now I'm just using one of the lovely disposable Pilot V-pens, but I have never had an issue with them until I switched to better paper. I used to use those in school, they often just kind of... stop working. Plenty of ink left, but nothing doing. You can't take them apart, so it's really just an issue of being a cheap disposable.

Hi emster, you have had some difficulties in your initial posting, I've cleared them up. Please don't sign your posts. That said, there are some very nice Parkers in your photostream, and in the unrelated pictures you have a very good eye for photo composition. Please post more of your collection!

Depending on the pen you're looking to buy, you might get a converter (so they can use ink from a bottle instead of cartridges - some pens are built to do this already) and some ink, maybe some nice paper to write on. Is it a person who uses fountain pens already?

You might as well get some blunt tip syringes, they're cheap and you slightly reduce ruining your shirt. http://www.amazon.com/Syringes-Blunt-Fill-Needles-pack/dp/B003EE3A9W Just listen to these glowing reviews!

rio posted:The second I have no idea, so here are a couple pictures to see if anyone has any ideas. I don't know what to order to get it running in terms of cartridges or a converter because I have no idea what kind of pen it is and the one that is in there (see photo) looks like it doesn't belong.. Sorry the photos are poo poo, it is late and I am lazy. That looks like a custom/handmade pen with a Cross cartridge jammed into it. It'd probably take a standard converter - http://www.gouletpens.com/Standard_International_Cartridge_Converter_p/ed-converter.htm - but the length is hard to tell.

It says the stylus is removable (well replaceable,) you could probably find something to replace it with. Or just cut it off? It's a nice looking pen, for that style.

To be fair it seems he's really overworked the pen specifically for the gilded effect, also it's 2014 and you're using a fountain pen so it's a little late to worry about airs

Went out Christmas shopping and picked up a Hero 9201 for myself, because I am bad at Christmas shopping. Nice little pen, I got some J. Herbin Gris Nuage to go with it, impressed for the price. Nice line, smooth nib, really can't complain. Love the ink colour too, it's different enough without being too flashy.

Got a TWSBI eco as a "thanksgiving present" (??) and I'm enjoying it, it seems like a very wet pen to write with but that may be the ink (Wonderpens Ebony Purple) Mostly I'm at a loss as to what I'm meant to do with the pen wrench and silicone grease that came with it. The instructions could be clearer. Just.... open 'er up and lube the piston now and then?
