Ink/pen dynamics and the rhythms of writing

[Koen G]

Is it possible that the scribes stop the ink flow (i.e. remove all pressure from the nib) and use the flourish to "clean" whatever is left on the tip of the pen? The purpose of this could be to reduce the chance of dripping when the pen is lifted to start a new stroke or to re-dip. In that case, some parts of letters are written with a free ink flow and others with a little bit of ink that was left on the pen, which may result in a less concentrated stroke.
