This presentation is for a friend’s Presentation Party. This was my presentation.

THREE REASONS WHY. MOTIVATION:Nothing motivates like a new toy or gizmo. RITUAL: Arranging materials, cleaning, filling, prepping, etc. LUXURY: Less pressure, more variety, and that hipster satisfaction of being special.

PLETHERA OF PENS. Size, Material, Nibs , Cost , Clip & Cap, Filling Mechanism. sketch diagram of pen parts

INKredible variety: $7 bottle of Diamine Ink - 30ml - lasts about a year.

PICKY PAPER. Test for "Fountain Pen Friendly" if you can. Bleed Feathering AVOID cheap notebooks, moleskin, and field notes. IGNORE paper weight/thickness/material. CHOOSE Japanese, German, Vietnamese paper

Starter Packs
