Thanks for posting, Bob. I will check out your website. (Hadn’t heard of Diamine ink–but have you heard of Noodler’s? It’s great. http://www.noodlersink.com/)

I use a Lamy Studio with a 1.5mm calligraphy nib for ‘everyday’ use. It’s a bit gash as we use it as a demonstrator and the nib gets switched between sizes for customers to scratch around. We also try different colours of Diamine inks (the joy of running your own pen shop!). The 1.5mm nib really encourages me to slow down, form the letters properly and think what I am going to write before writing it – the influence of the PC is strong but we can resist.
