Pens:

I've collected too many Capless pens for the different custom grinds in various colors of the rainbow, as I'm a big fan of the pens. Gradually deciding on the colors to let go. This Brown is a cool slightly red-leaning brown, toward dark chocolate. The finish of the 20 Colors series is brushed anodized aluminum, unlike the standard glossy lacquer typical for Pilot Capless pens. The finish feels dry and satiny to touch.
Inked a couple times, in mint condition. Will come with a Pilot gift box, CON-40 converter, and metal cartridge cap, and a pack of cartridge refills.
Nib is a rhodium-plated 18K gold Fine.

- Excellent condition. Comes with original gift box, white/silver converter, and a 50ml bottle of Sailor Manyo ink. Originally the pen was bundled with Sailor Manyo "Nekoyonagi" ink, but I don't have that ink anymore, and it was much too pale when used with this pen. I'm including a powdery grayed blurple "Kakitsubata" instead, which is nicely legible with this nib.- milky pastel grayed lavender with a glossy finish and translucent aqua cyan finials. Rhodium-plated hardware. Silver flower finial design on matching lavender.

- Excellent condition, only inked a couple of times then kept in a box. Comes with original box, glass eyedropper pipette, and 2 nib units: unused 1.4mm stub and a used EF nib unit. The EF nib unit housing has some scratches around the edges, as I tried fitting a vintage nib in its place unsuccessfully, so I slotted the original EF back, and it works perfectly.
- Ebonite cap and piston plunger handle, acrylic barrel. Japanese eyedropper style with shut-off valve.

I purchased these three journals during the transition period from the "old" Tomoegawa machine #7 to the "new" Tomoegawa machine #9 production, hoping to catch the old stock paper. Upon testing the paper recently, I verified that the notebooks contain the "new" Tomoe River paper.
A5, 384 pages, 7x7mm light bluish gray grid with a thin white border around each page. Lay-flat binding. 2 have a slate blue cover and one is an olive green cover. I tested one of the blue journals and the olive one, to confirm the paper in each. The testing was done discretely on the 3rd page from the end in the bottom inner corner, as follows: https://i.imgur.com/65DGAFl.jpg
Selling here at less than half of what I paid per journal from Japan: $20 per each.

1. Regular Maintenance: Just like any other electronic device, printers require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Cleaning the printer heads, removing dust and debris, and checking for paper jams are simple yet effective maintenance tasks that can prevent future issues and extend the lifespan of your printer. Taking a few minutes to perform these tasks can save you hours of frustration down the road.
2. Update Firmware and Drivers: Keeping your printer's firmware and drivers up to date is crucial. Manufacturers often release updates to address bugs, enhance compatibility, and improve overall performance. Check your printer manufacturer's website or utilize automatic software update tools to ensure you're running the latest version. Updated firmware and drivers can resolve common issues and unlock new features.
3. Troubleshooting Common Problems: Printer not printing? Paper jamming? Faded prints? These common printer problems can be incredibly frustrating, but fear not! There are several troubleshooting steps you can take before calling for professional help. Start by checking for paper jams, ensuring ink or toner levels are sufficient, and verifying that cables are securely connected. Additionally, referring to the printer's user manual or the manufacturer's online support resources can provide step-by-step troubleshooting guidance.
4. Utilize Remote Support: Many printer manufacturers offer remote support options, allowing technicians to diagnose and resolve issues remotely. This convenient service saves time and eliminates the need for in-person visits. Take advantage of this feature if it's available for your printer model. Remote support can often solve software-related problems, configure settings, or guide you through troubleshooting steps, all without leaving the comfort of your home or office.
5. Professional Printer Service: In some cases, printer issues may require professional assistance. If you've exhausted all troubleshooting steps and your printer still refuses to cooperate, it's time to seek help from a qualified technician. Reach out to authorized service centers or contact the printer manufacturer's support team. They have the expertise and specialized tools to diagnose and repair complex issues.

• u/Jdoodle7: Thanks for your greeting card, which only took 6 days to get here! I did know that I like the city that I've moved to and the area that I moved to looked pretty good based on browsing on Google Maps and a quick walk - but TBH I haven't really gone out and so I haven't made any friends yet :-/ After my summer holiday maybe I should go to some meetup.com events or similar to meet people. I hope that you're well!
• u/introvert_hangover x2: Thanks for your cards!
  • Thanks for your musings on fountain pens! No I do not post my pens - I'm so much more of a layperson that I didn't even know that that means putting the cap on the back! I should try that because I would prefer the pen to be longer, although I wonder how it'd affect the center of gravity. I do own a syringe that's meant for refilling fountain pen cartridges but I've never done that since I worry about spilling ink. I just use the CON-40 adapter (I have a handful of them), or if I'm going on a trip then I take one of my TWSBI pens (Eco or Diamond), since their reservoir will typically last me for the whole trip. I did also think that the Lamy 2K didn't flow as well as I expected, but it didn't occur to me that other 2Ks might be different/better.
  • Thanks for the bonus card with the old (1855) photo from the Fort Sumter light station! I had never heard of that place - had to look it up! My girlfriend will come back soon from her trip but as you noted, we're then going away for a bit together! I haven't written much in the last month and my experience generally is that I write less when I'm on trips so my response might not be quick, but I will write back at some point - probably a postcard from our trip, although perhaps only sent once we're back home. Thanks again!
• u/LeeElla: Wow, I had no idea that you were already enjoying a Radler the day before we caught up - near Königssee, no less! I've never been there but have plans to finally see it in August. I hope that your Europe trip is going well, catching up in person was so much fun. Thanks for your card!
• u/Panda-Post: Thank you so much for the custom made Umeshu card, which immediately propelled you into the select group of my very favourite penpals :) - thank you again! I did indeed move here (it's not just a PO Box) although I don't feel like I've made all that much progress with unpacking and exploring the area, yet. I hope that you're well!
• u/56Thorns and u/UseYourRuler: Thanks for your joint card from Niagara Falls! I'm happy that you caught up and picked such a cool place to do it - I've never been to Niagara Falls but it's on my list, too. u/UseYourRuler I don't think we had card-met before - if you chat me your address and optionally a writing prompt / card preference, then I'd be happy to send you a card!
• u/Anora214: Thanks for being so kind as to send me one of your cool handmade cards - must have taken you a lot of work, well done and thanks so much! I've moved so I've sent you a chat message with my new address.
