New Visconti & Sailor LEs, Best Shimmer Inks, Artemis II Fun Facts & More | Goulet Q&A Ep. 351

Brian is back and ready to tackle a new Q&A, covering shimmer inks, JoWo dip pen setups, and pen picks for a writing-heavy job. He also discusses high-maintenance inks, what to do about color variation, shows off some new paintings, and more! TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:09 Feedback 14:27 New Stuff 19:03 Comp-nay Updates 21:24 1) I love swirling shimmer ink in demonstrator pens more than writing with it—any recommendations for heavily shimmering inks (like Pelikan Edelstein Pyrite) that are fun to watch and play with? 27:36 2) On the Jowo feed and nib units, is there a threaded handle available so they could be used as a dip pen? 37:16 3) Looking for a smooth, Western fine or extra-fine nib with some bounce (not flex) for fast, professional writing—preferably steel. Any pen or nib recommendations? 45:56 4) Do you avoid using shimmer, high-sheen, or water-resistant inks in certain (modern) pens—especially higher-end ones—or is it not really a risk? 55:42 5) If I’m unhappy with a pen’s color variation right out of the box (e.g., a Visconti), can I return or exchange it? 01:06:50 Brian’s Adventures 01:35:42 What’s Back There? – Geode Bookend!
