    Default Hello!

    Hello, everyone!

    I have been using fountain pens for about a year but only at home. I couldn't use fountain pens in school because they can be messy, so I have to use pencils and ballpoints instead. I may ask a lot of questions, thank you advance for your help.

    Write on!

    Mr. Reader

    Hi Mr!

    Glad you are here. I am new to this group also so you can feel free to huddle around with us new kids!

    On the subject of messy fountain pens, have you tried to use some of the faster drying inks out there? Just do a Google search on "what are the fastest drying fountain pen inks" and after doing some research I think you will find that you can use your fountain pens with as much neatness as a ballpoint. But I do understand that changing out inks / cartridges / converters can be a bit of a hassle at time.

    I know my teacher would not like that because I'm only in elementary school.

    When I was at primary school ballpoint pens were forbidden. The teachers claimed they spoiled our writing.
