Fountain pens

[GoonerGary]

The first thing that entered my head this morning after a rough night with a poorly toddler, was put sublimation ink into a fountain pen. The idea is to put a signature (backwards) onto transfers or maybe do some freehand drawing.

Anyone tried this or know if the ink would have the right consistency for a pen? Don't actually have a pen to try it.

Would it be easier just to do a freehand drawing on paper and the just scan the image to the computer

[GoonerGary]

I'd thought about that, but don't have a scanner.

How about photograph it. I do this sometimes when someone brings me in a large print to copy

......I wish I could write my signature backwards!......... saying that,..... I wish I could write full stop! hahahahaha. jk. :rolleyes:

Or, you can get wax crayons and felt-tips made for sublimation

Digital camera!! Of course that's what I use for a scanner anyway.

A cheap graphics tablet will do the trick and allow you to draw directly onto your artwork. Simple then to change the style/colour/stroke etc. Using a camera would be a bit tedious. Tablet is also a very useful tool for editing so £20-£30 investment would be worthwhile.
