Why in the world would you want to carry just one pen?!!<br /><br />Carolyn, with some fountain pens, if you press too hard on the nib to get a wider line, the points of the nib separate and then make parallel tracks on your paper but don't usually lay down ink. They call that railroad. Fit and finish is the finish of the pen, how well it's created. For $15.00 or less, keep your expectations low!<br /><br />Tascarini, go to YESPEN on eBAY. That is the vendor I bought my pen from.<br /><br />Hi, Wendi, the ink I'm using in the video is Platinum Carbon Black. It is permanent and waterbrook. Just Google it. You'll find it all over the web. The pen comes with a converter so that you can fill it with whatever kind of ink you want rather than cartridges. <br /><br />Thanks RaSonya!
