Materials
The Nib
The material the nib is made of makes a big difference – steel, gold, titanium, palladium. It’s not so much the bit touching the paper, which for most quality pens is the tipping material or “iridium”, but the way the tines (the spilt bits behind the tip) move. There are few hard and fast rules, but generally steel nibs are more rigid, gold nibs softer and, depending on what it is alloyed with and how it is tempered, more flexible.
Filling System
There are lots of different ways to fill a fountain pen. Cartridges are clean and convenient, but you may need to get the correct ones for your pen. A converter will fit in place of a cartridge so bottled ink can be used. Piston fillers have a built-in filling system and will use only bottled in. Vacuum or Plunger fillers also use only bottled ink. With an eyedropper, the barrel of the pen is filled with ink.
Ink
And then, of course, there is the ink. More colours than you can imagine! And for the cognoscenti, variations in wetness, lubrication, drying time and more.
