OK so why are some people against plunger vac pens purely because they have to unscrew the blind cap before use? You’re using a fountain pen, it’s already inconvenient, what difference is two turns on a knob?

Don’t get why people talk about this like it’s a bad thing.

Quite interesting multi-shading ink, has purple, green, and blue-grey tones in it depending on how much ink is laid down. With a lot of ink it leans toward purple as in the second pic, with less ink towards blue-green as in the first pic.
