刚刚看到一个帖子里引用了某经销商的一份email,原文如下:
Do you test pens prior to dispatch?
If you buy a pen from a traditional shop, you would normally try it out beforehand as a check to ensure that it writes smoothly. When buying mail-order, you cannot perform this yourself so we do it for you!
We check nib alignment and smoothness (adjusting and smoothing where necessary) and filling mechanism as well as a full visual inspection. Waterman Florida Blue ink is always used for testing and pens are properly cleaned and dried afterwards.
Why is it important for us to do this? Well, we know that most pen manufacturers do not test their pens. We know this because we have received pens without nibs fitted! How could a pen with no nib be tested?
You do not have to ask for this service as we have always offered it. However, if you do not want us to test you pen for you please let us know. Note that Lamy and Parker pens are also tested at their respective factories.
在此,继续这个话题,并引入我发动的【流言终结者】系列,来终结一下“全新未上水”
