Unflexed it's a smooth 0.30mm fine, and pressure takes the tines out to 4B at 1.40mm, a spread just under 5x. The flow runs nice and juicy under pressure, or ease up and you get softer, lighter lines with no pressure at all. It's very comfortable to flourish, no surprises anywhere in the range, and it makes a great everyday writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eCANADA-stamped Ideals came out of the St. Lambert, Quebec plant Waterman opened in 1908, when it sent the New York nibmaker Louis Juster north to run nib production; he stayed superintendent into the 1950s. Canadian nibs built a reputation with collectors for controlled, dependable flex, and that's exactly how this one writes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eB grade, light use wear, the imprint legible and the tines unaltered.
