Any Tradanon's have any experience with inks?
I've been playing around a lot with a dip pen and brush pens recently and I ran into a problem with the winsor and newton gold ink I purchased, it being too viscous to really flow from the dip pen to be precise.
I load it up and I can't even make a single line properly, and if I overload the pen tip it just sticks to the paper in a single droplet instead of flowing evenly. (top right of the image near the forehead is a good example of this)
I ran into a similar problem with the white ink I use where I could just dilute and stir it a little to make it flow more appropriately, however that doesn't seem to work for the gold ink.

I can kind of make it work with a brush where I can actually use the ink for multiple strokes, but I would really like to make thin precise lines as well.
