We know that we have a very knowledgeable and amazing community of pen enthusiasts here at JetPens...we've just launched an exciting new project that aims to tap into YOUR deep expertise.

Introducing, the JetPens Guide to Pens and Stationery, the (future) world's best free guide to pens and stationery:

http://www.jetpens.com/guide/

The guide is structured as a wiki, which means anyone can (and should) contribute! Right now, all that's there are a few links to JetPens products. But we want this to become much more than that. A few ideas about where to get started:

The difference between a gel-ink pen and a rollerball pen?
Why some pens bleed through the paper and some don't?
The absolute 3 best pens for inking?

Pens? Pencils? Erasers? Highlighters? Special Paper? Teach us!

P.S. Feel free to write articles about non-Japanese pens, and link to stores and websites other than JetPens.

"Oooh"...."Ahhhh..." :lol:

Are the contributions to the guide expected to be written in article form? Like a whole page of review and opinions of pens, etc?

Contribute whatever and however you want...the guide will become whatever we collectively make of it...just click on the 'Edit Page' link at the bottom left corner and start sharing your wisdom! :)

oooh!! icons are now available?!

How do I get my own?? (I don't own paint shop or anything)

I wouldn't call myself an expert...I just like pens alot...^^;

Yumi, you can try searching for them or something. Or if you want something specific, I could make you one. :)

I think the coolest thing we could do for it right away is to put in pen ink swatches (like those made for the Hi-tec-C spectrum). After all, the pens we own are already sold. :) Hmm, maybe put a ruler alongside to show pen thickness.

What happened to this guide?

If I'm not mistaken, the guide has become the Penpedia section on the JetPens web site.
