Hello pen friends! So stick with me here, I decided to put 5 discussion points into one video, but I have timestamps for you should you choose to just get to the part where I discuss properties of dry vs wet inks! I wanted to make a comprehensive video that discusses the background and physics behind inks and ink flow in fountain pens, so I hope that part is fruitful for those of you who may be new to fountain pens or are just curious! Who knows, you might find something new in the first 20 minutes with all the jargon on the physics of Fountain Pens.

Anyways, I am not an expert with inks by any means, but my hopes are that I am able to share my experiences and understanding of inks with you guys through this video and invite discussions among us! Please feel free to chime in on your take and understanding of inks in the comments section so we can all have a fruitful conversation around this topic of wet and dry inks! I may be off on some parts of the information I share in the video, and if I am, by all means, point them out for me! But be kind!! ♥ We're here to help each other learn and grow from our experiences as a whole community!
