(apologies if this has been discussed. Being only 3 letters, ink is hard to search.)
So, I've tried my hand with fountain pens again, this time with a Lamy Safari with an extra fine nib and I can actually write with it. My previous experience with a Pelikan Fine nib was full of fail.
So now that I'm progressing with the fountain pen, naturally that opens up the world of inks.
The Safari came with a cartridge of blue that I don't particularly care for. It's just too blue and dull for my taste.
I bought a converter with the the Safari so today I ordered some Noodler's Bulletproof Black and Blue-Black.
(so here comes the flood of questions)
I guess that patience is the key when experimenting with different inks? Either that or waste the ink you've filled your converter with.
Does it effect the performance of the pen if you only fill the converter part-way?
What is the best way to clean a converter? Or should you use a different one with each ink?
What are your favorite inks?
Thanks,
Aaron
