Very nice “IDEAL” larger nib, 14K , (a #5 nib I think) clean & straight factory nib, (please see the close up photos of the nib) a nice very fine point , Very good iridium tipping, Smooth on Rhodia with a light hand, more feedback with pressure, you may get some tooth with pressure on cheap paper, But the nib has a Very soft easy flex feel, it is capable of a fine line to 1.2mm max with medium to heavier pressure (I would not go further to preserve the nib) NOT a wet noodle at all, more al dente ; or SEMI FLEX PLUS. The Paper is from a Rhodia Dotpad No. 16, the dots are 5mm apart to help you gauge the line variation. The pen was filled with ink to make the writing sample, The inks are Waterman South Sea Blue, & Diamine Monaco Red.
