<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 4769546, member: 14873&quot;]I use a variety of pens and inks for my lettering renditions. I mostly use cheap Osmiroid or Manuscript (trade names) fountain/cartridge pens with extra fine chisel edged nibs and bottled Waterman black ink these days (that includes for most of the lettering exemplars I have posted here) for convenience (and out of laziness). My favorite “upscale” calligraphic fountain pens have always been Mabie Todd “Swan” with very fine nibs. I have always liked Waterman fountain pen inks.</p><p><br /></p><p>For formal presentations, etc. I use self prepared Goose or Turkey primary flight feather quills with home made reservoirs and grind my own stick ink (mixed with distilled water to the right consistency). On occasion I use ubiquitous reservoired steel nib calligraphy pens. I only write formally on Cowley’s calfskin manuscript vellum that I pounce myself using sandarac and finely powdered pumice.</p><p><br /></p><p>I write informally (notes, letters, etc.) on nice (but inexpensive) regular correspondence paper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
