I am tickled pink over something and wanted to share it my friends and anyone else wanting to try something slick!
A week or two ago, Mike and Linda introduced the Schmidt Cartridge Rollerball System in this thread..... http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72453
This is a rollerball nib that uses a typical fountain pen cartridge for it's ink supply.
Always up for something new, I ordered a few and got them today and couldn't wait to snap a cartridge into the section and take it for a spin.
Well, I was not dissapointed in the least, actually I was very impressed, no, actually I was blown away by the way the ink flowed and how smooth the rollerball laid down a beautiful line of ink. If you handed the paper to someone just after you wrote a few lines, they would swear that you used a fountain pen!
I think I will order several more and introduce these nibs into my pen designs as I think they are the neatest thing since socks on a rooster!
Just imagine...... the handyness of a rollerball and the beauty of a nice line of ink that can only be done with a fountain pen..... until now!
I plan on leaving the nib out on the desk overnight then see if it writes well without any priming or drying out issues.
I'll post back with whatever I find in the morning.
