Hi. But as I'm left handed, I brush over the freshly written ink = I get a coloured hand.:( So fountain pens seem to be no option. I'm impressed with the Fisher Space Pen. The aim is: Compact and quick drying. cheers P.S.: I have a mechanical pencil at the moment. 24 Comments

I'm a lefty using a G-2. I like it pretty well, but it does not come out of clothing easily! The black does gradually fade out to a faint tan - after some 15 washes! I used a disposable fountain pen called a Fontaine for years, which had a quick-dry ink. But the nib was stiff, The last few I had had burrs on them and wrote poorly. I think they are still available in office catalogs still, but I haven't seen them in stores lately. Because graphite at least washes off hands and out of clothes, I often surrender to pencil. I know you didn't necessarily want pencil ideas, but ... I have had some luck with a colored-lead Pentel A13T - the metallic 1.3mm lead looks very nice and does not smear on my hand or paper. It does seem to snap when applying pressure. I go through lots of refills. Emkay » POSTED IN:
