Thread: How do you carry a fountain pen?

I've had similar problems with 1) cheap pens (not a problem here), 2) VERY broad nibs, seems the larger ink-path might lead to some splatter, especially if handled at all roughly and usually in conjunction with 3) Very thin ink. I know some of the colors and companies I used were very thin. I think the old Visconti ink, made for super-fine nibs, was very thin, and would get messy in big Western nibs.

or, your nib needs attention from a pro.
