Great pen! I have matte black. How is writing with the new texture?

[-] Ildar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Here it next to the pilot and straight up no worse, the surface is nice but more slippery than Capless

[-] draconicvision@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Is it just me do you have massoov hands? The pen looks tiny in your hand.

[-] Ildar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, my hands quite normal 😁 Here is apple pencil for scale

[-] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 1 points 1 year ago

That texture! It looks like a Vanishing Point - is it?

[-] BZen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It’s a clone made by a Chinese company. But people seem to love them! I’m considering trying one myself, though I already have a few vanishing points.

This textures is new, you should try, A1 is very nice writer

[-] BZen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It looks interesting. I just might!

I haven't had the best luck with vanishing point nibs but do have the bodies - do you know if they're cross compatible?

[-] toga@wayfarershaven.eu 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, they are. You can only get these in an EF nib, but it's a good writer.

[-] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thank you!

[-] BZen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, they should be. I think there was a YouTube video about how they are compatible. Off the top of my head, I think the YouTuber was Inkquiring Minds? I can’t access YouTube where I am right now.

They're well worth trying! I actually prefer the A2, which is kind of their version of the old faceted Decimo. It's made of plastic instead of metal, and as such it's lighter and slightly thinner.
