![]() It appears to be very much like the one used in the Noodlers Ahab. I had a pump pen a long time ago and that was a total waste of money.Īnother positive thing I noticed in the pictures was the ink cartridge. I got the one that handles the Zebra G nib with a standard ink feed. Once I saw the ink feeds and could see that some of them are almost identical to the feeds I made for the Jinhao and Ahab I couldn’t control myself and my hand hit the BUY NOW button before I came to my senses. You got me hooked! When you mentioned the metal ink feeds I just had to go look and see what MR. Too good to be true for only $40? Testing will tell. The feeds are made of metal so, no worries about cleaning them when needed plus they are made to fit the Zebra G nibs with no feed modification! The variety of feeds is a strong selling point for me. The Ackerman pens are designed to use with India and even Acrylic inks. I don’t know if it helps, but I keep a few drops of water in the cap but not touching the point. The Platinum Preppy takes some coaxing but it still flows well after a few warmup strokes. The Pentel still writes instantly when uncapped. Just for fun I have stored both of them point down for 3 weeks now, testing them every few days. The only negative being the nibs aren’t that great and you can’t buy drawing nibs for them. So far my Pentel and Platinum $3 pens are working great with the Speedball Super Black India ink. Dipping interrupts the flow of my work and increases the chance of ink drops falling on the surface, destroying many hours of work. I’d be interested in what you see it’s possible advantages as ? I just can’t see how it will surpass a cheap Jinhoa washed out thoroughly every couple of days ( even if I have had to modify the feed slot to perfect the flow). However I’m still not even tempted to press the “Buy now” button though because India ink will always dry out both in the feed & most certainly in the nib slit & breather hole part. In my understanding the only thing that an perfected Ackerman could offer is a really extreme line width variation using the viscosity of indian ink, maybe plus the pure embossed glossiness of it’s line. If I want to use a dip pen nib with a proper continuous supply of ink I will shove it in a cheap Jinhoa. You’d certainly imagine he’d be getting close by now – “12th incarnation”įor my ownpurposes the various fountain pen carbon inks are both permanent & waterproof. If you want to grab reinkers for your favorite ink pad or that must-have item from your wishlist before they are gone, ClearSnap products are available online at and Amazon.I’ll waste your time by saying I don’t know ! Interested to hear about it though Will it be Ranger? Or Imagine Crafts? Or store brand products? Or will no one get it, further shrinking the big box's paper crafts foot print? (Joann's is only showing a handful of Colorbox SKUs available in store when I search.) Who will get that shelf space is a big question. We will miss you! Not having quality companies like ClearSnap means less investment in the industry - in the form of marketing, advertising, new products and creative ideas, which is bad for everyone.Īccording to the Michaels website, my local store has about two dozen Colorbox SKUs stocked. And of course, Stampin' Up! and Close to My Heart will continue to provide stamping ink to the direct sales market as well.Īsked about the impact the closure of ClearSnap will have on the stamping segment, Hero Arts CEO Aaron Leventhal told Scrapbook Update:ĬlearSnap is a long-time contributor to the stamping market and I’m sorry to hear they will no longer lend their innovative approach and quality products to our industry. The closure of ClearSnap will leave Ranger and Imagine Crafts to fight it out as the major brand players in the retail ink market, along with contributions from companies such as Lawn Fawn, Hero Arts, and others.
