Snap back is fast so it requires careful control to achieve the variation and lines you want.Your needlepoint won't be a needlepoint anymore! It's easy to spread the tines too far and even if they don't get sprung, you can inadvertently change the alignment or gap between the tines, which can make it write too wet. This nib needs to be treated with great care and attention. Ideally, you'd want to stop before this resistance so as to not damage nib. Gives some feedback - nib starts to resist when you're pushing it too far.Moderate pressure gives up to a generous broad - a little softer than the Montblanc.When you apply pressure, make sure it is only on the downstroke and it's best to keep the tines aligned with the angle of your downstroke so the pressure is applied equally to both tines. Never, ever apply pressure on the upstroke or cross stroke. It nears the realm of feeling scratchy and it requires a light hand. If you apply too much pressure, the nib can catch and make horrible sounds and do terrible things as you cross the page. It has been reground to be a needlepoint so you're really getting something precise. Without pressure, puts down a Western extra extra-fine.The section is nowhere near as thick as the Montblanc and because the nib is smaller, I can also get closer down, which gives me more control. Pen size is likely more comfortable for most users.
#Esterbrook 130 easy writer nib review mod
$585USD + $130USD for mod (also available on other less expensive pens, or equally expensive pens!).The Spencerian starts from a semi-soft 14k nib and adds additional flex and a regrind to needlepoint to create a specialized writing point used for copperplate calligraphy. John Mottishaw at offers a Spencerian modification: Line variation is decent but not Copperplate-type variation.Snap back is a little slow but as a result, it's fairly easy to achieve smooth lines (unless you have my shaky hand).Look for how they're responding and if they're starting to develop a crease or something that indicates the metal is becoming fatigued. This is really the case for any pen with a soft nib but pay attention as you are writing and watch the tines. It also means it's easier to spring it so it takes some practice to get to know the nib. It does not offer a whole lot of feedback when you are pushing it too far so you can railroad and run it dry.Moderate pressure gives you up to a double broad line - the softness feels like a super flex to me.In fact, unless you have a particularly heavy hand, it can easy be used for regular writing. It's quite pleasant as a daily writer even if you choose not to use pressure. Fairly smooth writing experience overall.It's not an excessively wet nib but it performs well and ink flow is consistent. Without pressure, the nib puts down a Western fine.However, it is usable, but of all the nib options available on the 149, this one is the hardest for me to control. I find it quite thick in my grip so I don't have as much control over this pen as I do over something smaller - like the 146 or the Aurora.
