    Default How Many Pens Do You Have Inked?

    Usually I have 3-4 pens inked. However, I have been needing to get back into writing and drawing. I have a custom ink I mix myself and really love. I thought...........hmm,,,,,,not liking to waste ink, maybe inking up a BUNCH of pens will force me to draw and write more so the ink doesn't go to waste drying up in the pens! So,,,,,I inked 60 pens yesterday. I do like having so many options for pen and nib size.

    How many pens do you have inked?

    Since the last time we had this discussion my count has risen to 24. All with different inks. I'm now including two calligraphy pens I'd forgotten about in the last count.

    Thanks to Pelikan Hub, I've brought three pens into the action: two Pelikans and a Danitrio.

    And thanks to watching a bunch of YouTube videos, particularly Leo's pentificating (street sketching in New York City), inked up the Pilot CH912 (PO) with Platinum Carbon Black to entice myself to try drawing again.

    In this crowd I feel a little austere. Normally I'd like to have two or at most three pens inked, and my idea is that one is the primary pen of the moment and the other is for when Pen A runs out of ink in a public place.

    Now I have four inked, but that's because one is a new acquisition and I'd like to compare its nib with a few other nibs I'm already familiar with.

    My apologies, my reply was badly worded. I should have said "the last time this was brought up here."

    Three at the moment with three different inks (though two are green inks). I had gotten up to about 10 and went on a cleaning spree. Got down to one, a Pilot Metropolitan with Pilot Blue ink. It was soon joined by a Visconti Van Gogh with a Visconti Green cartridge and a Waterman Phileas with Waterman Tender Purple. I'm about to load Ancient Copper into something, maybe my Eco.

    Four pens inked, all with slip on caps. Using them at work and screw on caps slow me down for the quick notes I need to take.

    Seven, but two are just about out of ink, and won't be refilled when they are empty.

    Howdy- just thought I'd jump in to say, I'm down to 3 pens inked (two eyedroppers from India that will NEVER run out of ink, and a 3776 Century). For me that's like, a record or something. Usually I have around six to ten.

    I just got a Pilot Custom Heritage 912 but either I got a defective pen or don't own an ink it like so it's sitting in a box and I'll address it at my convenience.

    Anyway- I'm using this as an opportunity to document I only have 3 pens inked (haaa...). Who knows if or when that'll happen again.
