Fountain Pen
An interesting thing happened when I started writing with the Aurora
Ipsilon. Almost any time I get a new pen, I usually go straight for my
Levenger paper since I use that exclusively for my work notes and my
daily planner. When I started writing with the Ipsilon, I was shocked
by how wide the lines were, which you can see from the writing samples
above. I felt almost as if I was writing with a crayon. After a bit of
writing with it, the width seemed to get a bit better,but was still a
bit wider than Id have expected for an Extra Fine nib.
I decided to mix it up and try some different papers and different
inks, so you can see the results above. Basically I tried the pen on
Levenger, Clairefontaine 90g, Black n’ Red, and Ecosystem recycled
papers using Private Reserve, Noodlers, and J Herbin inks. It seems
that the Levenger with Private Reserve combo was probably the worst, and
everything else was noticeably better. I am considering sending the
nib to get tuned so that it wont be so wet on Levenger paper, but I do
really like how it writes on most of my other paper.If you are looking for a nice fountain pen, I think the Aurora
Ipsilon is a great option at the under $100 price point, and as I Fountain Pen
