This article over on Hack-A-Day seemed like it would appeal here. It discusses how the physical aspects of a cheap ballpoint pen are just less well suited to cursive writing as compared to a fountain pen. Enjoy!

Hi everyone,...
I bought a Wingsung 699 recently from AliExpress because I wanted to try out a vacuum filler. Ink leaks from around the nib whenever I cap it, leading to ink getting on the grip. When I write, blobs of ink sometimes burp out onto the page. Is this typical for this brand? I have another no name Wingsung (I think it’s actually a...
These are photos from when I first took delivery of my Nakaya, an aka tamenuri (red urushi lacquer) Neo-Standard, from back in 2016. The nib was an SF with added flex cuts, and though it ran dry fairly quick, when it was primed it wrote in an almost brush-like manner. It was very unique, but difficult to use every day, which is...

I saw this community and got inspired to buy a fountain pen as well. I bought a Monami Olika blue fountain pen. I’m still getting used to writing with a fountain pen but it’s been a nice experience.

Short demo video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjAaykdz8H8. If you have access to a laser cutter and are interested in making some yourself, the files are available for download on my...
I love that Diamine works together with the community to create new inks....
I got my first fountain pen around late 2017, curious about the writing experience. It was some kind of Jinhao (not pictured) that isn’t often in circulation any more because despite being labeled as a fine nib, it writes way too heavy for me....
