A question for the ages. Myself, I'm nib down to allow for continual ink flow.

I don't have a pen holder? They lay scattered around the house, but amazingly enough never near the phone....
BUt I think i'd be nib down if I had to!

What about us finger-painters?
I am a clicky-pen fanatic. I love to pull them out of my pocket, *click* and then write away. I have the power of the pen... mwa ha ha.
With a clicky-pen (read retractable) there is no need to worry about nibs when they are safely stored away in the pen proper

'Tis an intriguing question Buzz.Buzz wrote: But Fampa - what about the effect of having pen up or down? Does it affect ink flow?
I am compelled to commence an independant study.
I always have two pens, same brand and colour in my pocket - free ones from the credit union, I will endeavour to engage in an comparison test. 2 new pens, each labelled differently and stored differently. Using a different one each day I will determine which one runs out first. (I normally get the see through pens so I can update you all on the progress of my investigations).
