Your bottle of fountain pen ink will last up to 1.6 times longer using a fine nib compared to a medium nib. I've tested how many pages I could write on 50ml of ink and will share the results here.

Very complicated!! It took me about a year (13 months) of everyday writing to use up a 57ml bottle of Quink. It took me another year of everyday writing to use a large bottle (~50ml) of Pilot Iroshizuku ink. I hope that this helps. Regards, KC.

Love it, and I did these calculations myself on my pens a while back. I use much wetter and broader nibs than you do apparently. I was able to get about 5 - 7 A4 pages / 1ml of ink, which comes out to somewhere between 250 - 350 pages per 50ml.

Quink used to be good. Back in the day when they had their permanent inks. Nowadays it's washable and fades.

Somebody help me with the math. He said “Your bottle of fountain pen ink will last up to 1.6 times longer using a fine nib compared to a medium nib”, and then showed us we get 1,250 pages with a medium nib and 3,214 pages with a fine nib. Which is 2.6 times more pages not 1.6 times more. What am I not understanding?

Very funny indeed - :) But, you forgot to multiply by the IF factor. Inky Finger factor = The rate at which a quantity of ink appears all over my fingers for no apparent reason / day. Typically this varies by the current level of Fiddle Factor which can be calculated by multiplying the level of Writing Dissatisfaction by my current work Avoidance Level. And for me, there are special cases where one also has to account for Toilet Loss. This is the level of ink dissatisfaction multiplied by the distance to the nearest toilet. I calculated all of this out on a piece of paper. Sadly I can't share it with you because I smudged the result and can't read it. I'm really glad you are tackling this thorny issue. It is a service to F-Penkind. Great stuff Thanks for the smile :)

I use Parker QUink at work, because my writing isn't going to be stored forever. And if it is, I can scan the pages and save them. At home I use Jaques Herbin, Ferris Wheel Press, Private Reserve, and other good ink brands. I found the TWSBI Medium nib to be much broader than expected. It may be broader than the Lamy Broad nib.

found this through your website, since it's a question a lot of newbies like me probably wonder and google. You mention in the video you're using a broad twsbi you perceive to be closer to a medium, but it's a little confusing since that detail seems to be omitted on your website where you refer to it as a medium. I measured my own twsbi fine and twsbi medium with waterman serenity blue, but just a sample size of 33 "quick brown fox lazy dog"s since that's a page of generic standard ruled A4 for me. taking multiple measurements with precision scales, the fine came out to 0.04 to 0.05g/ml (so 4.5ml~ for 3300 sentences, similar to your fine nib example), the medium about 0.08mg/ml. Not far off the broad, 2ml less for 3300 sentences, but worth mentioning. I have a medium Kakuno on the way to use for EDC, I'll come back and update this with numbers for that if I remember. (I am aware japanese nibs are a little thinner) yes, it's not very scientific, but it's a similar method so the results could be extrapolated similarly.

I actually worked this out this way. I use a extra fine Twisbi Diamond 580 Fountain Pen daily. I write exactly one page per day. Which equates too total usage of 2 ml of ink per month. So, if you are like myself you will use 24ml of ink each year. I did this too determine how often to order ink. As, I rely heavily upon foreign retailers for my supplies. And, use a Fountain Pen to track expenses, and, growth percentages for my own business. Running out of ink simply isn’t an option I can afford. What I have learned to do that works best. As, I have too deal with Customs delays, Postal Strikes, and so on… Is as soon as I use the first fill out of a 30ml bottle. Order another bottle as back stock. I figure all types of delays should be addressed in a period of 12 months. And, so far this strategy hasn’t proved flawed. I think that has more too do with Devine forces than my cognitive contributions though lol. Anyway, that’s how I managed to determine my best way forward . Good luck to all of those of you who share my desire for creative expression and, love for Fountain Pen writing.
