Ink Drops In Water – Beautiful To Watch
We’ve never seen ink look so gorgeous. Just had to share it.
We reached out to Jacob Schwartz, the film director who made the ink-drop video, to ask what kinds of ink he used in this project. He said he doesn’t remember the brand, but that he used calligraphy ink.
What Is An Autopen?
I’ve been hearing the term ‘autopen’ a lot lately, both in reference to the US president’s signature and to collectible autographs, so it made me a little curious about this mysterious device.
Honestly, I was picturing a pen that you held in your hand while it moved on its own across the page, sort of like a Ouija board planchette. Turns out, that’s nothing like the real deal.
An autopen device is a machine with mechanical arms that holds a pen in an upright position. Your signature is encoded onto a plastic card which you insert into the machine. Place a piece of paper, photo, poster, etc. under the pen, start the machine and it will make an amazingly accurate copy of your signature.
Uni-ball Insight UB 211 – Rollerball Review
Looking in my pen box for something to review, my mind drifted back to school days when a pencil case was always in my bag. Cases for pencils have been around for over 200 years, some elaborate designs were even made in silver & gold. I seem to recall a favourite of mine being made from a heavy tartan fabric that was splattered with felt pen ink, usually due to the lids being left off when packed away in a hurry as I rushed to reach the next lesson on time.
The Lernstift Pen Corrects You As You Go
How would you like a pen that lets you know when you commit grammar and spelling errors and when your penmanship begins to drift?
That’s the idea behind the Lernstift, a pen currently being developed by a small German start-up with a big idea. The pen is designed to alert you to errors not with a scolding, but as a gentle buzz in your hand, just a hint that something might have gone awry in the sentence you’ve written.
