The Ackerman pens are designed to use with India and even Acrylic inks. I don’t know if it helps, but I keep a few drops of water in the cap but not touching the point. The Platinum Preppy takes some coaxing but it still flows well after a few warmup strokes. The Pentel still writes instantly when uncapped. Just for fun I have stored both of them point down for 3 weeks now, testing them every few days. The only negative being the nibs aren’t that great and you can’t buy drawing nibs for them. So far my Pentel and Platinum $3 pens are working great with the Speedball Super Black India ink. Dipping interrupts the flow of my work and increases the chance of ink drops falling on the surface, destroying many hours of work. I’d be interested in what you see it’s possible advantages as ? I just can’t see how it will surpass a cheap Jinhoa washed out thoroughly every couple of days ( even if I have had to modify the feed slot to perfect the flow). However I’m still not even tempted to press the “Buy now” button though because India ink will always dry out both in the feed & most certainly in the nib slit & breather hole part. In my understanding the only thing that an perfected Ackerman could offer is a really extreme line width variation using the viscosity of indian ink, maybe plus the pure embossed glossiness of it’s line. If I want to use a dip pen nib with a proper continuous supply of ink I will shove it in a cheap Jinhoa. You’d certainly imagine he’d be getting close by now – “12th incarnation”įor my ownpurposes the various fountain pen carbon inks are both permanent & waterproof. I’ll waste your time by saying I don’t know ! Interested to hear about it though :thumbsup:
