Does anyone use this pen for drawing? Can you put in waterproof black carbon ink?

Hey um it can definitely be used for drawing given its smooth writing, but I don't know about that specific ink tho

I like to draw with it. The pen feels good in my hand. I rest my index finger alongside the clip. The nib has a little springiness to it. The line will be a little on the narrow side of whatever nib size you choose. The cartridge or cartridge converter does not hold a lot of ink. Keep that in mind, when choosing your nib size. if you are looking for a permanent ink, you could try Noodler's Black or any of the Bullet Proof / Eternal inks from Noodlers. Those inks are permanent to cellulose based products only. To reduce residue buildup, the fountain pen should be flushed regularly. Great fountain pen. I hope this has helped. I like to draw with it.

Absolutely! in fact i use Noodler´s black bulletproof ink in my Namiki Falcon, because a well known illustrator from Sweden recommended it in his Facebook.

I have one of these. You should also buy ink cartridges, and they come in different colors. The pen itself comes with an ink converter that allows you to draw ink from an ink bottle. Waterman also manufactures these ink cartridges and bottled ink.

I tried it and it did work. I used a regular black ink pen. You may have to go over it another time to make sure it's dark enough.

The ink is the Fisher pressurized cartridge. So it would be ideal for a Write in the Rain type paper. From their website: Fisher Space Pen's Sealed Pressurized Ink Cartridge Performs in temperatures from -30F to +250F, underwater, in zero gravity, at any angle-even upside down! The ultimate in dependability! The choice of ski patrols, search and rescue teams, law enforcement agencies, armed forces, and everyone who demands reliability in a writing instrument. It is a great writing ink! It is dense but smooth. Almost has a rubber or oil base feel.

Pencils work best; some pens won't work as well. I'm not sure whether some inks would run if wet.

Not exactly. Some colors are fairly okay with water others are not. Based on my experience I wouldn't venture into watercolors with them. They work fine but they are best kept dry. I use mine for writing in my planner, doodling and sketching or journalIng, never for wet work. Sakura pens would be a better option or prisma liners for watercolor work.

It works well enough I guess. The paper has enough grit to hold on to the ink but still smooth enough to let it flow like normal. Although lately I've been using a paper called Master's Touch Drawing pads but this one will get the job done pretty well. Good luck.

Good question. I just gave up on my pen and put it in the recycling bucket. I got it to work for about a day but that was it. No amount of tinkering, cleaning, swearing could make it work. It is a piece of junk. My suggestion: get rid of it and get a pen not made in China.

Hello, you can use the ink cartridges. Please search B00H5IEDQW or B00JXFP9OU to buy the ink cartridges fit this pen.You can also use the bottle ink for it. Thanks.

Fountain pens are based on liquid ink, so they bleed a good amount on really cheap paper. I tried Lamy blue on cheap paper, and it's a surprisingly stable ink. If you're really worried about bleedthrough, get a Z24 converter and a bottle or Noodler's Black. Noodler's Black is an ink designed to write on really bad paper, even on newsprint. It's also "bulletproof", so it was designed to be permanent. Perfect for writing checks.I'm not really sure if slow writing would make a fountain pen "messy". Just don't press too hard on the nib, and you'll be fine.

They are not waterproof in my experience unfortunately. No idea if they can be used with watercolors but if you're writing on something wet they probably won't do well.

They write and draw well over dried watercolor. Ive also had success using them with soft pastels, colored pencil, and ink. The only medium I have had bad luck using these with is graphite.

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

Thank you for your question, Regular #2 pencils work with rite in the rain paper, and pens will work with it however many pens have water based inks and take longer to dry on this water resistant paper, rite in the rain worked with fisher space pen to formulate an ink that adheres to the paper and is not water based, these are the rite in the rain all weather pens, the standard fisher space ink seems to work well for us to although it is a slightly different formula. The cordura cover zips closed and has no pockets on the outside. The Pen is the Rite in the rain all weather pen.

The pen is shipped with a lamy t10 cartrige blue ink. The ink is NOT waterproof.You need to separately buy the Lamy's blue-black iron-gall ink a/o cartridge for a waterproof ink.

Contact Wacom, they have incredible customer service. My pen has worked absolutely fine since I received it.
