	A Few Notes about Fountain Pens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A fountain pen trains you to write with light pressure and is much less tiring than a ballpoint, rollerball, or pencil.
		An italic pen is one whose point is not a ball, but rather is cut straight across so that the width of the line depends on the direction in which it is moving.
		Fountain pen inks consist of water, one or more soluble dyes, and a small amount of a wetting agent (detergent) both to clean the pen and to help the ink adhere to paper that may be slightly oily.

		Advertising propaganda notwithstanding, the fountain pen inks sold today are fundamentally the same (chemically speaking) as those sold 75 or more years ago; in fact, the trade names Quink (Parker) and Skrip (Sheaffer) of the two most popular inks on the market, if not the actual ink formulations themselves, date back to before the 1920s.
		Some makers may "calibrate" the feeds of their pens to work with a certain viscosity of ink (that happens to match the ink they sell), but this is a rather rough calibration that could probably be met as well or even better by other brands of ink.
		Fountain pen ink is pretty stable, chemically speaking: there should be no natural process that destroys the ink over time so long as it is kept clean and tightly capped.

		They're drawn to fountain pens not from nostalgia or from a desire for expensive jewelry, but because they enjoy the way the pen feels in their hand -- or the way their writing looks on the page.

		Fountain pen nibs are made in a bewildering array of sizes and styles.
		When you write with an italic, you hold the pen with the nib generally away from your forearm (as with a stub or a round nib).
		The many people who bought these pens and the thousands who collect them today outnumber the few who disparage firm nibs as “nails.” In fact, for the majority of users, “nails” are actually better than flexible nibs, and this was as true 80 years ago as it is today.

	Pilot Birdie Fountain Pen Review \| PigPog
		The Birdie fountain pen is thicker than the pencil and ballpoint versions - 8mm diameter instead of 5mm - but is still very small for a fountain pen.
		The fountain pen version narrows in a step towards the top of the barrel, and there’s a fl plastic ring where the cap pushes on.
		I have used the Birdie fountain pens for years and love them; when I need new ones (I have dropped a few on their points) Laywines kindly ships them to me. I just wish the Birdie ballpoint and pencil were the same size as the fountain pen — I find them too thin.
