julesjonesThere was a fountain pen meet at Eastercon, at which assorted pens and inks got handed round for people to try out. A couple of mine proved popular, so putting here what I'd brought along with me. The Y1 was already inked, the others were inked at the meet with one of the Diamine samples. If I'd had any sense I'd have done a better job of recording which samples...
Left to right, what I had was
Jinhao Y1 in champagne colourway, F nib, inked with Van Dieman's Ink "Leatherwood honey".
Tombow Lucca, originally a medium nib, no idea what it is after an Unfortunate Incident involving a sink, but it does still write very nicely.
Jinhao 51a in acrylic, hooded EF (I think) nib. That colourway gets called various names in the online shops.
Wing Sung 3003 (2018 model), EF nib.
Jinhao 9013 in white colourway, heartbeat M nib.
Majohn/Moonman Wancai, EF nib, clear colourway.
