Hero 336 Fountain Pen - Part 2

After pumping Montblanc black ink into the reservoir of Hero 336 pen, I began testing the quality of the pen. Being a China made pen, of course, I wrote some chinese caligraphy. Do note that the nib is fine in thickness, which I think is appropriately sized for chinese characters. It turns out that I am pleasantly pleased with Hero 336 writing in chinese words. The fine nib means that the outflow of ink is highly controlled, this enables the curves and stoppages which are of high importance in chinese caligraphy to be nicely manupulated fully by its nib. Of course being a pen of this price, the smoothness is definetly not present. In fact, it is hard to write. But the deficiency is overcome by the nib capability to control outflow of ink. The medium size nib of Montblanc 146 does allows more ink to be delivered, thus making writing chinese caligraphy slightly difficult. The writing is done in a single piece of paper, thus the paper factor is constant. However, this paper quality is of highly absorbent type.
