Will It Write?

Posted on by

IMG_4681.JPG As I mentioned yesterday, it’s been a busy season. Between work, travel, birthday celebrations, more travel, and general busy-ness, I’ve not had much time to tend to my fountain pens.

In fact, everything you see above has sat unused for at least two weeks. I thought it would be a great time conduct a small experiment:  Will it Write?

Here’s where things ended up . . .

J Herbin Rollerball – after a slow start, it started writing wonderfully

Jinhao Dragon Eyes (I have no idea what the real name of this pen is) – started right up! Want to get one of these for yourself? Amazon has them for under $15 right now.

Nakaya – this was my birthday pen from Mr. Pentulant this year. It’s gorgeous, but I’m having trouble with the flow and it’s going to have to go back. Ugg. More on this another day, but for today – it didn’t write – not even a little. Disappointing, but I’m sure it will get fixed up and be perfect.

Parker Duofold Demi – started right up!

Montblanc Solitaire – perfect!

Franklin-Christoph Model 20 – I really thought this big wide music nib would have dried out over the two weeks that I didn’t use it, but – no! It wrote like a champ! So happy about this.

Pilot Elite – Gah, I love this pen. I’ll review it soon. Until then, go buy one for yourself. This one started right up, too.

Montblanc Boheme Large Edition – I received this pen as a gift from Mr. Pentulant last Christmas. It didn’t write at all after having sat for two weeks. I’m not surprised, there is clearly an issue with nib – and perhaps with the twisty mechanism. I’m going to need to find someone to have a look at it. Ug.

Lamy Safari – no surprise, it started writing the instant it was touched to the paper.

TWSBI Mini (Rose Gold) – I was having trouble with this pen before it sat. It’s no surprise that those issues didn’t fix themselves while sitting in the pen tray. I think the issue is baby’s bottom and I have an urge to try to fix it myself. Will you posted on how that turns out!

Jinhao 159 – review coming soon – it started right up! A happy surprise. (I got this one from Goulet Pens.) It comes in black, orange, and yellow. The yellow is on sale as of this writing.

Monteverde Artista – one of two pens that kinda sorta wrote after having sat for the two weeks. I kept feeling like it would start writing well “any second now,” but that just didn’t happen.

Montblanc Solitaire Geometric – Another pen I’d been having a little trouble with before my break. It started right up, but the hard starts on some letters remains an issue. I’m going to need to take this one back to the MB Boutique for a look.

Finally, the TWSBI twins – red and green – they wrote wonderfully!

Overall, I’m pretty happy with how this went. The Nakaya is definitely the biggest disappointment – unfortunately, though, I wasn’t terribly surprised as I’d been having trouble with it.

Those Jinhao pens (the dragon and yellow) surprised me in the best way by starting right up.

IMG_4682.JPG I’m sure it’s not lost on anyone that some of the cheapest pens started up right away and some of the most expensive pens are an issue. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions from that.

IMG_4686.JPGI’m hoping life is at pleasant lull and I can get back to enjoying my pens. How is your summer so far? Busy, busy like mine? Relaxing and calm?

  36. 폰테크
    폰테크란 휴대폰을 이용해 단기 자금을 마련하는 공식적인 금융 활용 구조입니다. 일반적인 소비 목적의 휴대폰 사용과는 달리 통신사와 유통 구조, 매입 시스템을 활용하여 현금을 확보하는 구조를 가지고 있으며, 진행 과정이 간단하고 진입 장벽이 낮다는 특징이 있습니다. 신용 문제로 금융권 이용이 어렵거나 단기간 자금이 필요한 경우에 대안적인 방법으로 활용되는 경우가 많습니다.

    이 방식의 구조는 비교적 간단합니다. 먼저 통신사를 통해 스마트폰을 정상적으로 개통한 뒤, 개통된 휴대폰을 전문 매입 업체에 판매합니다. 매입 금액은 기종, 시세, 통신 조건에 따라 결정되며, 정산 금액은 현금이나 계좌로 받게 됩니다. 이후 휴대폰 할부금과 통신요금은 본인이 정상적으로 납부해야 하며, 요금 관리가 핵심 요소입니다. 해당 방식은 불법 금융과는 다르며, 휴대폰을 하나의 자산처럼 활용하는 방식이라고 볼 수 있습니다.

    기존 금융권 대출과 비교하면 여러 차별점을 가집니다. 복잡한 심사나 서류 절차가 거의 없고, 단시간 내 자금 마련이 가능하다는 점이 대표적인 장점입니다. 또한 대출 기록이 남지 않는 구조이기 때문에 신용도에 부담을 느끼는 경우에도 접근이 가능합니다. 하지만 통신요금 미납이나 연체가 발생할 경우 신용 상태에 불리하게 작용할 수 있으므로 책임 있는 이용이 필수적입니다.

    이 방식을 선택하는 배경은 여러 가지입니다. 갑작스럽게 현금이 필요한 상황, 신용 문제로 대출이 어려운 경우, 단기적인 자금 회전이 필요한 경우 등 여러 목적에서 활용됩니다. 특히 빠른 자금 유동성이 필요한 경우 현실적인 대안으로 선택되는 경우가 많습니다.

    폰테크를 통해 마련한 자금은 주식이나 코인 투자, 사업 자금, 생활비 등 다양한 용도로 사용되기도 합니다. 다만 자금 사용에 대한 책임은 모두 본인에게 있으며, 모든 투자에는 리스크가 따른다는 점을 반드시 인식해야 합니다. 이 방식은 이익을 약속하는 구조가 아니라 단순한 자금 마련 방법이라는 점을 이해해야 합니다.

    폰테크는 합법적인 구조이지만 유의해야 할 점이 있습니다. 과도한 휴대폰 개통은 통신사 제재의 대상이 될 수 있으며, 상환 계획 없는 이용은 오히려 리스크가 됩니다. 또한 고수익을 보장하거나 명의 대여를 요구하는 업체는 피해야 하며, 모든 과정은 반드시 본인 명의로 정상 진행되어야 합니다.

    결론적으로, 폰테크는 휴대폰과 통신 유통 구조를 활용한 정상적인 자금 마련 수단으로, 올바른 정보와 신중한 판단이 전제된다면 단기 자금 확보에 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 무엇보다 사전 정보 확인과 신중한 선택이 가장 중요합니다.
