I'll need to brush up on the cursive that I haven't used in.... nearly 30 years to make it pretty.

A fine, narrow nib is liable to clog on the thicker substances added to the ink to achieve the shine, and broader, wetter lines are just shinier anyway.

Also, it works better on coated papers (which themselves have a slight shine to them).

The effect is amazing, and I'd be willing to spring for a really good one.

I am worried that the metal bits that make the ink shiny could clog then feeder so I never got any shiny ink 😞
