 OK so why are some people against plunger vac pens purely because they have to unscrew the blind cap before use? You’re using a fountain pen, it’s already inconvenient, what difference is two turns on a knob?

Don’t get why people talk about this like it’s a bad thing.

Quite interesting multi-shading ink, has purple, green, and blue-grey tones in it depending on how much ink is laid down. With a lot of ink it leans toward purple as in the second pic, with less ink towards blue-green as in the first pic.

 mostly I’m at the dining table. It’s the only place in my flat where there’s enough space for random pen parts, ink samples, syringes, notebooks, all of it.
