I nice video. I mostly agree with your point regarding the Graphos as an interesting usable (though nowadays fairly outdated) tool. The thing that (before the rapidograph) would make it special seems to be that you could get the consistent straight lines with a ruler. Regarding the ink and the reservoir, isn't it the case that you can simply take off the nib, clean it, cap it and then store the pen body away with a ful reservoir(providing of course you don't leave it for months)? In that way so long as you have access to water and a cleaning cloth to clean your used nibs you can indeed take it with you and draw anywhere(with a solid flat surface).
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Yes, I suppose you could do what you say to save the ink, but it seems like a lot of work in terms of getting it to flow again etc. Also, there is no way to see how much ink is in it, so I think that would be a problem in a work environment where perhaps more than one person would use the same set of pens, or if you forget how much ink was left in it. You would be better off cleaning it each time and putting in fresh ink.
