also invis ink is not supposed to be written wit a fountain pen. the pen leaves a huge impression on the page so even if the ink cant be seen, the impression from the pen can, and the words can b read. the better way to do this would be to use a cotton swab, or to buy invis ink pens that are felt tip
GREAT ADVISE! I did notice that with medium and fine tip pens there was a bit of an impression. With a broad tip and less pressure the impressions was almost not noticable, but this would not work if I were a secret agent or international spy. You are so right.
yeh NSA and the such dont use invisi ink any more. but back in the day when they did it wasnt UV reactive. the most common ink was good old lemon juice.
hang on a sec. u wanted 2 get ur grandchildren involved in fountain pens??? WHAT FOR??? use a biro its cheaper and it doesnt matter if it breaks or ink spills
I think that fountain pens are actually beneficial for children because they're easier to write with - you don't need to press down nearly as hard. This allows for a style of handwriting in which you can write mainly with the muscles of the entire arm instead of the fingers. Cursive handwriting is dependent on this; with ball-point pens, cursive script is much more artificial feeling. This, along with computers, is probably why nobody writes with cursive anymore.
It would probably be a good idea to give small children a cheap fountain pen like a Lamy Safari or something (which are still quite good), so that it wouldn't be the end of the world if they lost or broke it. For older children, having a fountain pen is an opportunity to have something that you just don't lose. If you write with it long enough, you treat it as something that is uniquely yours, like a watch or glasses. If used for several years in this way, fountain pens can be cheaper than biros
Finally, DJJorg, I can assure you that modern fountain pens are basically immune to ink spilling - they solved that problem many years ago. I have a fountain pen that I use practically every day for writing notes in lecture, homework, etc. in college. I've been using it for about 2.5 years now, and it shows no sign of damage, nor has it ever spilled. I enjoy the reduced pressure associated with fountain pens, so that the only reason I ever use a ball-point pen is for carbon-copy lab notebooks.
