Now I have noticeably better ink flow and reserve. Compared with the original plastic feed, I can flex faster and longer before the nib starves. In-fact on good quality virgin (no recycled content) 80gsm office bond I have to go flex-crazy in order to get railroading or hard starts. Again, this is using my favorite ink &#8211; Pilot\/Namiki Blue.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe new feed fits the nib and pen perfectly. The end of the new feed does not hit the paper when I am flexing the nib. Note, the flat sections on the rear of the feed that receive the tabs at the back of the nib allow for a little movement of the nib in and out of the section (at least mine do). This allows for a small amount of flow tuning by pushing or pulling the nib in or out of the section. However, I just left my nib pushed all the way back.<\/blockquote>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to David for this review of the 743E Pilot FA replacement feed on Fountain Pen Network.
