and hello there and welcome back to my channel my name is doug and i'm back
with another fountain pen video you may have recalled a couple weeks ago i did a review
of this jinhao 80 fountain pen with a lamy style nib and i put a lamy 1.1 stub on it but at the
same time i ordered a lamy cursive nib which has just arrived and i promised i would show you
what it was like if i put that nib on that pen so let's open it up and let's take a look at this nib
there it is you see it has some chinese characters on there i'll try my best to translate that
and put it on screen but it does say lammy and it is a cursive nib whatever that means
it uh looks more like an architect style nib but it's so tiny
i don't know that it's going to make any line variation at all but we shall find out also people
said that they had difficulty getting the nib off of the jinhao 80 to begin with i showed a method
for using a piece of tape and pulling it off that was a bit of video magic there because i had to
get it started the first time now it'll probably come off with
some tape but what i did to start with i took a jeweler's size slot screwdriver and
just gave it a bit of a push under here just give a little bit of a a head start by prying it up
so it goes along that rail a little bit you can see it's starting to move there now
and once i got it sliding along there i'll use my tape this pen is inked that's why the gloves
and then you i got my thumbnail under there because i'd start it a little bit
and i can pull it off using the tape just like that now let's put the lamy cursive nib
on there i hope i hope it writes well because i think it's going to look sharp so we just line
up the rails with the rails on the feed give it a little bit of a start and then give it a push just
like that we're going to give it a moment for that ink to run down inside there or i could give it a
little bit of push here
by pushing that converter down slightly to get some ink flowing okay so this is the gin howe
80 with a lambie
cursive nib
let's see that's vertical
and that's horizontal so the vertical is slightly thinner than the horizontal
so yeah you do get a little bit of natural line variation of course pushing it it's
fairly stiff it's a steel nib check the wetness it looks pretty wet and this ink is a roshizuku
take it to me
well that's very enjoyable i'm enjoying that a lot not just from the writing aspect from but
also from the looks and that looks terrific doesn't it and it's got a lot of feedback
you probably hear that
and let's get the measurements on this
vertically
horizontally
so according to my richard bender
chart the vertical line is 0.3 millimeters in thickness which is about a western xxf
or a japanese xf and the horizontal line there is a 0.6 which is a western medium or a japanese
medium to broad well that's very nice and this nib i think only cost me about 25 dollars
i'll put up the listing from where i bought it but they can be had
at goulet pens as well so thanks for watching this shorty as always
thank you for watching
and that's all she wrote
i made this
