I've branched out into stubs and Italic 1.1 jowo nibs and I've found that the flow is a little low on these nibs generally. There's two things I do - I adjust the nib just a bit -- or I increase the feed channel on the feed. If I mess with the tines I usually end up with more work with smoothing and adjusting etc. If I leave the nib as is and increase the ink channel on the feed it works better.
My question - is it advisable to adjust the feed --- or do most try adjusting the nib first. Is there a correct or wrong way to adjust flow. I don't find many increasing the feed channels on the feed very much? As a result I have a few feeds that are marked as 'generous flow' in my kit. I'd like to hear the opinions of a few more experienced folks on the board. Thanks Kindly.
