With a good fountain pen that's another thing: If the spring once enrolled - which it adapts the peculiarities of the writer - it is a soft, almost pressure-free writing. The hand does not get tired so fast and you get used to almost casually a beautiful cursive on.
This Pelikan fountain pen is a Piston. One should not forget the same mitzubestellen a keg ink so far as one calls his own as yet no piston filler. It is filled, where you first the rear end of the pen "unscrews" (this is a piston is advanced in the filler toward spring), then holding the pen with the pen into the inkwell, so that the spring is best completely submerged, and ultimately the unscrewed part is screwed again. The retreating piston generates a temporary vacuum in the filler draws the ink in the internal reservoir. Then pull the filler out of the keg and best cleaned with a tempo or the like of excess ink. Then the filler is ready to write.
The spring can be in this series by the way quite easily by simply unscrewing remove counterclockwise, so you can change in the event of an accident this quite easily yourself. Replacement springs in different strengths, there are z. B. also here at Amazon.
I think one or the other will use this support also as an entry and later perhaps even take a high quality mount with gold quill. For me it was certainly so! :-)
