    Wow I had not heard of a technical pen, they sound interesting. I’ve been using an OHTO ceramic roller gel refill in my Rotring and Parker pens because I like the tactile feel with lowish resistance.

    How does it feel to write with one of these?

      So this was done with a Rotring Isograph, a beautiful pen for architects. I love it because it has a refillable ink reservoir, making it cheap to run. To write with… actually pretty unpleasant since you need to use quite an unnatural angle for handwriting. Otherwise, a splendid pen which I gather isn’t being made any more – sad times.

        Thanks, sounds like a bit of a learning curve, but I might need to try one out.

        The Isograph is still available on Amazon, as well as the Koh-I-Noor (Made in USA?) Isograph and the very interesting looking STAEDTLER Mars Matic.
