Hi dear all,

I just wanted to share something with you. After a long search i finally found Fineline Pens which are availible in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. I ordered 5 of each color and looking forward to get them. The only thing i say is:
Color Photograph Polargraph Drawings....
I will keep you updated!

By the Way here is a Link to the Website (it's german, i don't even know if they are availible outside Germany):

Hi Stephan,
Here's an attempt at a CYMK image I did a while back, but I didn't have a Y color (the pen set came with an "O" instead - orange). It's a small image and registration was a bit off:

I later did the same image with Sharpie pens that were closer to true CYMK, but I didn't bother posting it because I ended up preferring the look of the "wrong" colors, at least for that particular image.

This Mario image uses only blue and red, but I was pleased at how effective it was. It's possible the bad registration may have actually helped bring out the color a little on this one.

I look forward to seeing your efforts! Not enough people are posting pictures.

I think the mario one is really good - you're probably right that perfect registration might not be good because the lines might end up exactly on top of each other and the vibrancy of the component colours gets lost.
