And your files are HUGE! 300kb???
Damn, I'm on DSL and I got bored of waiting, so I switched to other window.
Get some basic computer post procesing:
1. scan at high res. 300 or 600 dpi
2. apply curves in more or less this fashion.
(alternatively, use "levels" or adjust brightness contrast)
3. merge layers, resize to the web size (ie 800 pixels wide)
4. use export/save for web/optymize/JPG wizard, or whatever.
Come back when you mastered that.
(BTW, if you lack software...
GIMP is free, and PSP has a free 30 day demo.)

Heck, one of those things that are like makers with a felt brush tip might work out and you wouldn't have to worry about the ink bottle that way. I can't imagine working with a calligraphy pen; how does it work out for you and why did you choose it? I'm not trying to be insulting here; just honestly curious.

Or is PD#666:

a better style?
I tend to lean towards the neatness of AMF, but I have gotten comments that PD#666 is more visually pleasing...
