Continuing last week’s theme of selecting pens that haven’t been used in a while, I inked up this Parker Rialto. I got it off eBay last summer, mostly for the black & blue color scheme.
It’s about as thin a pen as I care to use and there’s enough grip to be comfortable.
The italic and architect nibs on my other two inked pens have been great but I felt a call for a finer line option, which the Rialto provides.
I went with Diamine Damson for the ink. Like the Rialto, Damson hasn’t come out of the drawer in a while. While I already have purple ink in the Duofold right now, Damson is on the opposite side of the range so there isn’t an overlap.
Speaking of the Duofold, I was reminded the other day of how good looking the material is. Just add sunshine and…
Hard to compete with that.
