I have found that the broader the nib, the more visible the imperfections in my handwriting. I have been practicing with my broad nib, and my general handwriting has improved as a result.

I always find your 'nib analysis' videos so very helpful. I used it to choose the sailor nib I got on my sailor sea glass that I bought from Goldspot and am glad I went for the medium!

@@GoldspotPens Hi there....It is...For some reason it is listed in a broad nib at both $33 and $30.........Vanness has it as well, and their Kaweco ink cartridge prices and free shipping will probably win out ..sadly. The ink cartridges like Summer Purple seem confusing when listed under several different names, Aubergine and Violet, are these the same color?

@GoldspotPens 5 жыл бұрын

There's a broad and double-broad. Kaweco recently increased their pricing for the extra fine and broad styles only. We do also have free shipping with $75 or more. Summer Purple is also called French Lavender, but it's the same color.

Was the ink leaking from the blush or was that just showing through?

I have a Kaweco Sport with a Fine nib that I keep in my pocket for every day pen needs and am often using it on random cheap paper and am thinking of buying an Extra Fine nib for a finer line. It seems like the line width variation between the F and EF is pretty minimal, though. Do you think it's even worth it to get the EF nib?

@GoldspotPens 4 жыл бұрын

It is a minimal difference. But, if you're looking for the finest line, the extra-fine will get you there.

@barbarajloriordan2697 2 жыл бұрын

I have both. There’s little difference, but there is a difference. I can tell you that the extra fine does not write scratchy. The Kaweco pens hard start for me if I don’t keep them in regular use (that is if I don’t let them fall idle for several days), but that’s true of all the nib sizes and is also true of many different brands of pen.

Hello! What ink was used in this video?

@lottekoole1200 3 жыл бұрын

What nib would you recommand for students that have to write a lot and often on cheap paper?

@GoldspotPens 3 жыл бұрын

I would opt for a fine point because it will provide a thinner line that has a better chance of not feathering or bleeding through paper.

@chairunnisya3565 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, I am new to fountain pen. I like my writing to be thin and small. I have the fine nib of kaweco but I think the writing is a little too bold and cluttered from my liking. Do you think it's worth it to get the EF? I'm a little too conscious about the scratchy feeling

@GoldspotPens 2 жыл бұрын

A thinner line usually comes with an increased degree of feedback. If you value line thickness more than the feedback "feel," then go for the EF.

@barbarajloriordan2697 2 жыл бұрын

I have the EF and it does not write scratchy for me. I have to remember not to allow it to fall idle for several days and also to keep it clean, though.

Question can I use a number 6 nib or larger in an of the Kaweco sport pens? Or do they all take number 5 nibs

@GoldspotPens 3 жыл бұрын

All the Sport pens use the #5 size nib.

Koweco has had a reputation for a rather inconsistent nib grind. For example, my only Kaweco, the Art Sport, was so scratchy and such a hard starter that I finally made it might first nib-tuning challenge. I could not have ethically sold it to anyone else, and I would not have given it to some one just entering the fountain pen hobby, because I think it would have confirmed the novice user’s worst fears. On the other side, once I tuned it, it is now very wet, but I have never had a burping problem with this pen, even though I eyedropper-fill it. The very small capacity otherwise just about mandates this mode. MY QUESTION: If I extend my range, what is Goldspot’s policy regarding nib and flow? I have never returned a pen, but I hate using rather novice skills on the nib of a fountain pen.

@keithwhitney7491 5 жыл бұрын

Your response was very reassuring. I will likely add a Kaweco pen through Goldspot. The one I had purchased was significantly higher than the $25 to $45 range; hence, the hard starts and skipping had driven me crazy. Thank you for the switch to Jowo nibs, nibs I generally love. I had not tried to swap a nib, because I was early in my fountain pen usage at the time. I was able to increase the flow and remove the baby bottom.
