#6 TITANIUM Ultraflex Nib Units and Assemblies

Very happy with everything.

I wanted to have one EDC fountain pen for writing (general notes and such), sketching (vs finished drawings), and practice pointed pen calligraphy. I don’t want to carry multiple fountains for this. Since it needs to cover so many bases, I didn’t expect it to be great at any one thing. I will say that this Titanium UltraFlex EEF nib does a pretty darn good job with each. Writing: The nib is fine which is what I want vs a juicy line. This provides that. For those who have had a Preppy as a starter, it resembles the fine nib. Drawing/Sketching: I like cross-hatching and line work kind of sketching. The fine line fits perfectly for that. I do intend to use the Zebra G Flexpert that I also have from Osprey when I want to do finished drawings. Using this for quick sketching. Pointed Pen Calligraphy: I’m just starting with Spencerian and Copperplate. The flex is good (when I hold it correctly and use it right). I can tell when I’m doing it right as the nib responds well and it glides through making the letters. With a line that starts so fine, variation can be dramatic. As with sketching, I do intend to use the Zebra G Flexpert when I want to do finished calligraphy or serious practice, but this is great for casual practice. I would have been more than happy to leave the Zebra G Flexpert on all the time, but it’s not very good for general writing and I’d have to replace the nibs all the time. Lastly, I like dealing with Osprey Pens as a company. As mentioned earlier, I started with the Zebra G Flexpert on a Scholar and then an UF Broad Nib (where they had some nice bonuses for me). With the TUFEEF, I asked for a fine nib that flexed and was going to use Platinum Carbon Black as my ink of choice (actually have been using the Osprey multi-color cartridges only so far and like the color, but will go to PCB to get that solid black). They wrote me a very nice note that if I was going to use PCB—to be careful and make sure to clean out the pen often to prevent clogging since the nib is EEF. I like that sort of thoughtfulness. Very happy with everything.

Vraiment très bien. Je recommande
