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?

  28. 폰테크
    휴대폰테크란 모바일 기기를 통해 빠르게 현금을 확보하는 합법적인 금융 활용 구조입니다. 일반적인 소비 목적의 휴대폰 사용과는 달리 통신 구조와 유통 경로를 이용해 현금을 확보하는 구조를 가지고 있으며, 진행 과정이 간단하고 진입 장벽이 낮다는 장점이 있습니다. 은행 대출이 부담되거나 단기간 자금이 필요한 경우에 현실적인 선택지로 고려됩니다.

    이 방식의 구조는 이해하기 어렵지 않습니다. 먼저 통신사를 통해 스마트폰을 정상적으로 개통한 뒤, 해당 단말기를 매입 업체를 통해 처분합니다. 매입 금액은 기종, 시세, 통신 조건에 따라 결정되며, 판매 대금은 현금 또는 계좌이체로 지급됩니다. 이후 발생하는 요금과 할부금은 사용자 책임으로 관리해야 하며, 이 부분에 대한 관리가 매우 중요합니다. 해당 방식은 불법 금융과는 다르며, 휴대폰을 하나의 자산처럼 활용하는 방식이라고 볼 수 있습니다.

    폰테크는 일반적인 은행 대출과 비교했을 때 여러 차별점을 가집니다. 신용 심사나 서류 제출 부담이 적고, 비교적 빠르게 현금을 확보할 수 있다는 점이 가장 큰 특징입니다. 금융 이력이 남지 않기 때문에 신용도에 부담을 느끼는 경우에도 접근이 가능합니다. 다만 요금이나 할부금이 연체될 경우 신용도에 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 책임 있는 이용이 필수적입니다.

    사람들이 폰테크를 선택하는 이유는 다양합니다. 갑작스럽게 현금이 필요한 상황, 신용 문제로 대출이 어려운 경우, 단기적인 자금 회전이 필요한 경우 등 다양한 상황에서 고려됩니다. 특히 빠른 자금 유동성이 필요한 경우 현실적인 대안으로 선택되는 경우가 많습니다.

    폰테크를 통해 마련한 자금은 주식이나 코인 투자, 사업 자금, 생활비 등 여러 방식으로 활용될 수 있습니다. 다만 자금 사용에 대한 책임은 모두 본인에게 있으며, 모든 투자에는 리스크가 따른다는 점을 충분히 인지해야 합니다. 폰테크는 수익을 보장하는 수단이 아니라 단순한 자금 마련 방법이라는 점을 이해해야 합니다.

    해당 방식은 합법적이지만 주의해야 할 부분도 분명히 존재합니다. 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.

    정리하자면, 해당 방식은 통신 구조를 이용한 정상적인 자금 마련 수단으로, 올바른 정보와 신중한 판단이 전제된다면 단기 자금 확보에 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 무엇보다 사전 정보 확인과 신중한 선택이 가장 중요합니다.
