I did this with a Speedball dip pen using the #0 nib. It was very scratchy and probably broke the surface of the paper.
I did this in a Canson Mixed Media pad, 98 lb smooth white finish.
I have since purchased a Tachikawa nib holder and Japanese G nibs that are a bit smoother and seem to hold more ink.
I'm still looking for the best paper for dip pen inking.
I did look at this file in FlickR and it isn't as sharp as the original after reducing the size (even using reduce with bicubic sharpen)
