  • Montegrappa… First 360º Design Portal Offers Exotic Materials, Hi- Fidelity Rendering and Complete Design Control
    History and Future e live in a world that places a high value on time. Instruments made to count time have come to command astronomical prices. Yet in the manic, noisy crossfire of modern life, objects designed to make time count for more are rare. For more than a century, a family company nested in the Italian Dolomites has remained relentlessly curious about perfecting the deeply personal – often magical – relationship between paper and the human mind. Since beginning our quest for perfection in 1912, we have watched words - and the countless hours we devote to them – become devalued by abundance. ‘Progress’ has often come at the price of values, meaning and truth. Far from representing a suspension of progress, Montegrappa pens exist so that connoisseurs of thought and devotees of words may savour the luxury of slowing time down. “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” Ernest Hemingway Write the truest sentence that you knowWrite the Many of our friends and rivals delight in celebrating pens as relics of days gone by. With the greatest of respect, we beg to differ. Whereas others portray themselves as keepers of tradition, Montegrappa remains steadfastly committed to the tradition of innovation. Our manufactory is situated in the exact location where Italian fountain pen production began more than a century ago. Within these walls, antique artisanal high jewellery craft stands shoulder-to-shoulder with high- precision, computer-controlled technologies. But technical excellence is the very least our community of Montegrappisti deserves. Above all, the imaginations of fantasists, visionaries, and our most exuberant users are what spur us on to ever more audacious and uncommon creations.

  • Brush Pen Size Guides
    Downstroke Size Guide You might have a huge collection of pens, but did you know that you can't treat them all the same? Your lettering size has to change with the specific pen. A brush script "e" is the best letter to test a pen out with. The pen should allow you to write at a size that allows the loop of the "e" to be the same width (or a hair more) than the width of the widest downstroke. It should also be large enough to form a beautiful teardrop shape inside of the loop. Use the pen grouping worksheets to know which size guide worksheet would work best for each of your pen. Practicing with each pen at the proper size will allow you to make your lettering skills shine! xo, Extra Sma Brush Pens: Cocoiro Letter Pen Monami Plus Pen 3000 Enzō by Pilot Sma Brush Pens: Zebra Funwari Fude Brush Pen Tombow Fudenosuke Hard Nib Pilot Futayaku Double-Sided Brush Pen Zebra Disposable Brush Pen (Extra Fine) Sma Medium Brush Pens: Tombow Fudenosuke Soft Nib Pentel Brush Tip Sign Pen Zebra Disposable Brush Pen (Fine) Crayola Super Tips Pigma FB Kuretake Fudegokochi All Rights Reserved.

  • John Mottishaw's Classic Fountain Pens
    John Mottishaw’s Classic Fountain Pens: A Master’s Legacy For The Next Generation Of Pen Lovers By Gregory Peterson Nibmeister John Mottishaw long has held a top spot among the elite artisans who bring out the best performance in a fountain pen. Mod- esty prevents this accomplished Canadian-American artist from using the term “mastery” to describe his prodigious skill with gold fountain pen nibs. But how else to describe his singular expertise? Mottishaw’s career began in fine arts—drawing, sculpting, de- signing, and studying Japanese art and culture. As a young man he built a metalworking foundry, learned to cast molten bronze, ham- mered copper onto sculptures and boat hulls, and began a lifelong love affair with gold. “Then somewhere along the line I got seduced by fountain pens,” Mottishaw says—and for nearly a quarter-century now, serious pen lovers have been grateful he did. Today, his Classic Fountain Pens 1 (nibs.com) enjoys a global reputation as one of the premier places for the purchase, adjustment, and customization of the world’s finest gold nibs. The Pathway to Expertise Asked to estimate just how many nibs he has worked on, Mottishaw pauses, then he sets about doing the math aloud: “Well, let’s see…ten nibs per day, times five days per week, times 52 weeks per year, for 20 years. I’d say at least 50,000 nibs.” And how much time is required to complete a nib’s shaping, welding, grinding, slitting, polishing, and testing? For a complex nib job, Mottishaw estimates at least an hour— meaning he has spent roughly 50,000 hours practicing his exacting craft.

  • Analysis of Writing Ink Dyestuffs by TLC and FT-IR and Its Application to Forensic Science
    ANALYTICAL SCIENCES APRIL 1998, VOL. 14 269 1998 © The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry Analysis of Writing Ink Dyestuffs by TLC and FT-IR and Its Application to Forensic Science Kazuhiro TSUTSUMI* and Kazuya OHGA** *Criminal Investigation Laboratory, Oita Prefecture Police Headquarters, Otemachi, Oita 870, Japan **Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering, Oita University, Dannoharu, Oita 870–11, Japan Black, blue and red writing pens were classified into various groups using the Rf values and color tones of dyestuff bands separated by normal-phase thin-layer chromatography (TLC) of their inks. The classification is effective for the prelimi- nary identification of pens used in crime scenes. A microsampling technique was proposed for the TLC analysis of minute quantities of inks on questioned documents. Furthermore, a combination of reflectance-mode microscope/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the pin-point condensation technique was proved to be useful for the precise discrim- ination of trace amounts of analogous water-soluble dyestuffs on TLC plates.
