- Hendrikto 3y agoWriting the same sentence with a fountain pen vs ballpoint, it looks much nicer with the fountain pen.
- raisedbyninjas 3y agoFountain pens let you vary the width of the line depending on how much force is applied.
- chipsa 3y agoUnless you know you have a flexy nib, you shouldn't. Too much force can cause your tines to sproing, and then you need a new nib (or get a nibsmith to fix it, which might be more). Most of my pens have nibs that aren't designed for much line variation.
