My favorite pen + ink combos (right now)
A short list of pairings that feel effortless on most papers.
My favorite pen + ink combos (right now)
Replace the bullets below with your real favorites and a quick note about flow and dry time.
- Fine nib + fast-drying black ink for notes
- Stub nib + shading ink for headers
- Flex nib + rich color for special pieces
For each combo, I like to include: nib size, paper used, and a one-line note about feel.
