Market research on exciting new material for luxury pens - thoughts needed!

[mulrich]

Now, a Chia Pet fountain pen...that has possibilities.

How broad would that nib be? 100B? You'd have to write on a wall.

How would a fountain pen exploit the virtues of this "breakthrough" material? Novelty?

I’m curious about implementation on nib.

If Terminator is a reference, it can change shape from as stub as a hammer to as pointy as a nail.
Just have to make sure it won’t kill me in my sleep.

Sure it can change... When it wants to. (I do hope that all of this useful for the fine folks at Yale).

The concept of a "luxury pen".... hm, these people clearly are not FP Geeks as to me that is wording redolent of not cheap but certainly nasty pens sold by corporate stationery firms.

They would be better off I think asking us who are the most innovative penmakers and showing the material to them. For instance I wonder if Venvstas would be interested..

Oh yeah, let me join the queue for the fairy shrimp ink :-)
