what pen do you use.

thx for the thread and forum comment but the smiley could have a bigger smileOriginally posted by Gedanken:Interesting thread and forum.
Anyway, I favour fountain pens. When I write with a ballpoint it comes out like chicken scratchings, and when I write with a fountain pen it comes out like artistic chicken scratchings.
Right now I rotate between three fountain pens:
- Waterman Phileas
- Waterman Laureat
- Mont Blanc (LeGrand, I think - it was a gift)
The Phileas is the cheapest of the three, but because it's a medium-point unlike the other two fine-points, I like using it the best. A Parker Duofold's now on my to-get list.
The one ballpoint I do hang on to is a Cross Classic Century 14K - it's a bit of a family tradition to have one of those.
U must be used to really smooth pens if u think ballpoint pens are rough...
And u rotate between THREE fountain pens
I have a Waterman ball pen...dunno wad's it called...but good quality...lasting longer than any other ball pen that i have...still in good condition -
that model got 0.38 meh?Originally posted by finoq:errhm..!
but 0.7 comes in only a few colours (3 i think)
while 0.38 comes in 15 (or 14) colours
and 0.28 comes in 11 colours
0.28 IS the one that's like chicken feet scratchin'...
my mother said it was like goin to scratch through the paper, she didn't dare use it
I find it very useful, esp to squeeze small handwriting into very small spaces...but i have to admit it's also kinda thin for my preferances
thot only 0.5 n 0.7

I use the Mont Blanc mainly as an accessory - it's the most presentable of the three. The problem is that the ink flow sucks - a number of friends have had similar problems. When you start writing, it takes about half a centimetre of writing before the ink reached the tip of the nib.
The Watermans, on the other hand, are absolutely lovely - they travel across the paper smoothly and have absolutely no flow problems. -

so expensive!!!Originally posted by finoq:btw anyone here uses a pen called

well, it's a calligraphy pen, Pilot put a lot of research in it(I think), and the most important(and fragile) part of it is the Nib, consisting to two parallel plates, where ink flows through from them. When two of these pens are used, one can also transfer ink to the other, causing the pen to write in slowly changing colours.Originally posted by shinta:so expensive!!!
Well, definitely not for children. It's not a plaything, and it takes care to wash it, change the pen's ink cartridge, and handling with care. I just hate to see pen nibs being dented and bent, especially those which have the long dimple-tip (eg.Pilot G-Tec C4) -
uniball eye.damnit i can't believe i'm still using the same one pen for 1 year..

It's a pity that I have no uniball eyes. I actually wanted to buy one after my Violet G2, but then the set of uniball signo DX came outOriginally posted by stellazio:uniball eye.damnit i can't believe i'm still using the same one pen for 1 year..
So I bought the DX before the eye.
Now I want to buy a uniball eye Light Green...but then, the Staedtler triplus fineliners are out...and I want to get them first...so well, I have no uniball eye.
Uniball eyes are actually quite good in design, has a wide range of colours and has a micro version for some colours. -
I have been using the PILOT HI TECHPOINT for the past 3 years

There are a lot of Hi Tecpoint now...If I am not wrong, 3 versions...Originally posted by YummyGummy:I have been using the PILOT HI TECHPOINT for the past 3 years
The old one has its barrel of the colour of the pen and has a window at the side to see the ink
The 2nd one is refillable
The 3rd one is very much like the 2nd one but it has a softer grip and it is non-refillable.
However if yours is 3 years old it should be the 1st version -
Yesterday I added few more pens to my collection
My first uni-ball eye Light Green $2.35
Pilot Drawing Pen 01 $1.90
Pilot Drawing Pen 03 $1.90
uni-ball Signo micro 207 Black $2.00 (Free uni-ball Signo Gelstick Light Blue worth $0.90) -
I just discovered that uni-ball Signo 207 has same interior ink shape as uni-ball Signo RT so I can put a metallic orange ink into uni-ball Signo 207 (Micro) Barrel
Actually uni-ball Signo 207 and RT are the same except for their barrel, which 207 looks nicer. -
after exams I may start a forum for stationery...
