I think I posted this somewhere else, but thought I should share it again. I generally use speedball blades exclusively, and played around with a #1 blade to get really thin lines. After several tries I was able to squeeze a blade down by inserting a knife blade in the groove of a number 1 and adjusting some vise grips to gently squeeze it down without crushing it. I went through a few without using the knife blade and that did not work. I'm not sure how it works on anything but PZ Kut.

Those must be reallly thin lines. They don't just fill up with ink and disappear?

No, but then I'm using PZ Kut. I would think other carving mediums would be different.
