That texture! It looks like a Vanishing Point - is it?

[–] BZen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It’s a clone made by a Chinese company. But people seem to love them! I’m considering trying one myself, though I already have a few vanishing points.

This textures is new, you should try, A1 is very nice writer

[–] BZen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It looks interesting. I just might!

I haven't had the best luck with vanishing point nibs but do have the bodies - do you know if they're cross compatible?

[–] toga@wayfarershaven.eu 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, they are. You can only get these in an EF nib, but it's a good writer.

[–] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thank you!

[–] BZen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, they should be. I think there was a YouTube video about how they are compatible. Off the top of my head, I think the YouTuber was Inkquiring Minds? I can’t access YouTube where I am right now.

They're well worth trying! I actually prefer the A2, which is kind of their version of the old faceted Decimo. It's made of plastic instead of metal, and as such it's lighter and slightly thinner.
