About my new Rotring rapidographs - 
So I made an art present for my self and got me this amazing set of Rotring Rapidograph pens, and guess that? They are just amazing! I used the Micron pens before but there is nothing better than real fluid ink and the real pen nib. Microns are good in their quality but they not as well good as these rapidographs. The possibility to replace the ink container makes these pens reliable for years and years of repeatedly reuse, the ink quality is amazing and the feel of these pens in your hand is very natural. Most of the reviews at the internet say that these are probably the best rapidographs that you can get today, and I have to admit that they are definitely right.
The Rapidographs that I have in my set - 0.2, 0.3, 0.5
The whole range of them!
I am also very please to report that the rapidographs I have merge perfectly with my Fabriano Quadrato Artist's Journal, it's 90g/m2  paper with four colors of paper inside :) and with the rapidographs on them, the next page remains completely clean and all the ink is observed perfectly in to the paper when you work. 

And to sum it up I just have to say that it's really important for artists to work with high quality materials because from my own experience, the final results look much better and stay for years without changing or going yellow or loosing their original looks!
