Tools & Supplies / Fountain Pen Help

« on: January 11, 2022, 04:17:34 PM »

Hi everyone!

A few years ago a friend gave me this fountain pen with a bottle of ink but no ink cartridge. The pen doesn't have any branding information on it so I have no way of knowing where to look for an ink cartridge. Can anyone help me identify this pen? And provide any suggestions for refillable ink cartridges? I have quite a bit of ink already that I would like to use.

I tried using a Schmidt universal refillable cartridge but it was way too big and not compatible with this nib. I'd really like to use this since it's pretty nice and was free for me, so any help/suggestions are much appreciated!

Thanks,
Nicole

Tools & Supplies / Light Pink Inks for Dark Paper

« on: November 09, 2020, 07:29:10 PM »

Hello All!

I'm addressing envelopes for a wedding and need some help with finding the best ink for the job. I'm writing on emerald green envelopes and need a light pink ink that is opaque enough to show up well on the envelopes. I thought of trying a Ziller ink, but I've had trouble with Ziller's colored inks not being opaque enough for dark paper.

Any recommendations or suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

I'm Nicole and I started learning calligraphy last summer! The interest started with hand lettering & greeting cards, which I've been doing since 2017 mostly as a hobby!

I recently finished a course on Modern Calligraphy and I'm hoping to tackle Copperplate next! I'm excited to explore the Forum further and hopefully join my first envelope exchange soon!
