Parker GEL.7 in rotring 600

I have to say, the switch to the Parker Gel 0.7 ink is really noticeable. The writing is bold and strong, but in places it looks less technical. I have the feeling that small paper particles get absorbed from the ink, and rounded letters, such as the "o", smear. That said, I write quite small, so the ink density is quite high.

I mostly use the pen for technical sketches and notes in meetings. I made this observation after just one working day. Has anyone else made similar observations? Otherwise, it has a very nice writing feel.

The Rotring 600 has completely hooked me

It all started with a journal, and now I’m using three of them at work. It’s a niche topic that not many people know about unless you bring it up, but it’s always fun when someone notices and asks about refill sizes and specs.

​Meanwhile, my colleagues just use standard companyissued pens usually gel pens with blue ink and green barrels.

​My dream is to write much finer with the Rotring 600 medium. Does anyone have a solution to get it down to a 0.3mm or 0.4mm line width?
