    What's the difference between sheen and shimmer inks? Is hot pressed paper better to reveal the multi tone effect?

    • @buchansstationery5816
      @buchansstationery5816 11 місяців тому

      Sheen is the concentrated dye (the ingredients that make up the color of the ink) deposited on paper, showing a metallic effect on paper. Shimmer is the glitters added in the inks, to make the ink color glittery, on top of whatever the ink color is. Compared to cold pressed watercolor paper, hot pressed watercolor paper usually is a bit better showing ink colors due to reduced diffuse reflection from the smooth surface. However, depending on the reaction between different inks and paper, the multichromatic effect can look different. If you want the best multichromatic effect, I would recommend using paper specific for fountain pen inks, such as Bank Paper and Tomoe River Paper

    I think overhand grippers put too much pressure. The more I use fountain pens the more I support the pen with the thumb from the underbody. The pen glides better using the Japanese grip - supported by thumb and index opposed one another- however it takes more concentration.

    Are all Parker converters compatible with all models? I mean, are for instance old Parker converters from the 90's (i.e. Parker Sonnet) compatible with current 2021 Parker 51? I'm asking because I tried to fit a converter from a 90's Sonnet into a modern 2021's 51 and it looks like I need to push hard (slimmer body on the 51? / thicker diameter on the old converter?), but I didn't to avoid damaging any of both.

    Thanks for the vid. I think the tandem format works well, and appreciate you two introducing yourselves at the beginning. I don't think anyone would take issue with most of your choices of top starter pens. The tried-and-true products in this space change very slowly. However, you might want to read what is said about the Sailor Compass on Fountain Pen Network. As much as I love Sailor pens, and as much as I love the *looks* of the Compass, a pen needs to write reliably well. Shockingly, the nib on the Compass appears to fail on this count, and the model is not doing well. I'd be surprised if Sailor continues to offer it much longer. In place of the Compass, I'd cite a pen that I don't think gets anywhere near the love it deserves, and that's the Pilot Kaküno. This pen ticks all the boxes for a newbie. It's a basic simple plastic pen that's inexpensive (CAN$15) and all-but-indestructible. It's also lightweight (11 grams) and mid-sized, so it travels well. The pen caps and uncaps securely and effortlessly. The Kaküno comes in M, F, and EF. It uses the same nib as does the Metropolitan, at half the cost. Reliable and effortless to use, the pen is just rock solid. I believe the Kaküno was designed by Pilot as a pen for children just learning to write. What it lacks in elegance, it easily makes up for in fun. Check out the Kaküno's wide range of colors, and of course the smiley, winky faces engraved on its nib. (Obviously, if you're going for seriousness and sophistication, this is not the pen for you.) The only downside is that the Kaküno doesn't come with a converter. So you need to spring for a Con-40 (Con-70 also fits) if you don't want to be limited to Pilot cartridges. I figure I'm a good 50+ years down the road from Pilot's target demographic for the Kaküno, but I still smile whenever I grab one to start writing with.

    I hope you take this as helpful criticism. I stopped watching after hearing, “This is a French company- I believe.” If you’re going to be putting together videos where you purport to be a resident expert on the topic, you must know your facts with 100% certitude. Also, and this is important especially in hobbies where a large percentage of the market is highly educated, learn to properly pronounce the brand names you are trying to sell. To not do so conveys a disregard for other cultures.
