Stained Fingers on Thursday - A Review of Bic Disposable Fountain Pen Black Ink

Just a random ink review from a disposable fountain pen, which I purchased at my local Staples office supply store.

This scan was done on an HP Deskjet F4280 at 600dpi.
Note: Because these scans are done with a light emitting printer, actual colors will, more likely than not, be slightly darker than they may appear, here. The colors shown, here, are probably a bit more reminiscent of what the ink would be like under a bright light or if it were held up and viewed with a light behind it.

Desk Pens Writing Comparison

Deepest apologies for the infrequency of an update! Today's short post is in response to a comment I received on my posting of the picture of my desk pens. Here are the same pens, along with a bit of a writing sample for each!

Enjoy!

Current Desk Pens

Today, I thought it would be fun to share the pens that I typically have upon my desk. These are usually pens that I enjoy using on a regular basis but, for one reason or another, I do not want to carry with me.

From left to right, pen, nib size, and ink:

• Baoer #3018 Black Sonnet, fine nib - Mont Blanc Toffee Brown
• Parker Urban GT, medium nib - Parker Blue
• Parker Urban gel pen - Black ink
• Not a great writer, but it looks nice and fits with its neighbors
• Parker Urban rollerball pen - Black ink
• Bic Disposable Fountain Pen, medium nib - Bic Black
• This used to be a pocket carry pen until the cap started to crack, causing it to come off at random
• The cheap plastic clip broke after a few weeks of carrying it
• The plan is to strip it of all paint and writing and attempt to refill it
• Rotring Core "Tanakor," XL nib (essentially a broad) - Custom 1:1 blend of Noodler's Dragon's Napalm and Noodler's Red-black
• Sometimes a pocket carry, its size can make this difficult
• Baoer Skywalker, medium nib - Just cleaned and not yet refilled
• (Not pictured) Personalized Waterford Marquis Claria, medium nib - Noodler's X-Feather

The eight-pen stand is sold exclusively by Todd at isellpens. (To which I have no affiliation.) I highly recommend his website as a great source of fountain pens and accessories.
