Hello

[@lindahigham5317]

Oh I so agree Big Time ☺️☺️

[@believeonjesus7215]

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)

[@sakbc1]

Yes! 😅

[@shreyaplayer2809]

True

[@thesparkypilot]

Haha I know right 🥺

[@notconvincedgranny6573]

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.

[@michellestephenson1680]

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.)

[@adriengomez2825]

I find the old pens have less problems with paper, circa 90's

[@nauci]

I just so appreciate how much your narrator works to correctly pronounce everything 🥰

[@gracezhang2494]

fountain pens scare me, they look so elegant and beautiful, which is literally everything im not. 💀

[@geminigrrl66]

They're really great pens and you don't have to spend a lot to get a great pen. Try the Platinum Preppy 😉.

[@yourbelovedstoryteller7757]

I feel yah

[@SpiralBreeze]

Just get one, I have severe arthritis and they’re the only pens I can write with. My hand writing is atrocious but I can still write.

[@angela.luntian]

Buy em cheap. Pilot petite is cute and simple. Nothing elegant really.

[@michellestephenson1680]

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.

[@icebearsuga]

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!

[@FernandoSanchez-zc7os]

sorry for late response but what kind of pen do you use? I’m using a rollerball pen and i want to make sure it doesn’t bleed through

[@akitajournals]

I've very recently started getting back into fountain pens, so the timing of this video couldn't be more perfect.

[@ciannacoleman5125]

It surprises me how few journalers on KZbin 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

[@steffymuze]

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 use a Kanso Noto for my journaling. Started it back in January and I'm about halfway through it.

[@kamael1125]

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

[@oliviawaters7815]

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

[@Jianemba]

@@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.

[@alancaron984]

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.

[@lcvejsm]

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 :/

[@paulherman5822]

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.)

[@leannezzers]

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.

[@JetPens]

Hi we actually posted a TWSBI Diamond Mini, not a 580!

[@himmel_channel]

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 😔

[@as-yu4vk]

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

[@richardc6932]

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.

[@amboa.6277]

How about if you can't avoid using ordinary paper to write with a Fountain Pen, is there another solution for that? Plzz help me

[@JetPens]

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

[@MurderBong]

Why doesn't JH-1670 ink (E de C) dry in Leuct. Schedules, even after months? One touch, and it smudges. (I am also a noob, using a Plat Procyon)

[@waffles9304]

I don't expect anybody to see this but I have some stock paper that I used to draw in. Can I use that, it is very thick?

[@JetPens]

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

@@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

[@jankafka7330]

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.
