![]() Unfortunately I didn’t get to carry out all of the tests on the same day so the pens and inks are not identical for both sample pages, Despite this, I think I tried enough pens and inks to get the general idea.įirstly, the feel of all of the nibs used on the pages were great. The first two photos show the front and reverse of the lined paper while the third and fourth photos show the front and reverse of an unlined test page. Set out below is a set of four photos I have taken of the pen and ink tests done on both the lined and unlined papers.
