Recommended Posts

My first review and it's black ink. Nothing amazing to look at...since it's black. But i've included a sexy picture of the bottle. That counts for something right? :roflmho:

Hey, great review. Looks like a great ink.

 

Where did you get it from? Sailor ink doesn't appear to be very common (at least I haven't seen much of it).

 

Also, would you mind doing a water test with some text instead of a cute sheep? Hehe, I thought it might illustrate better how much damage water will do to text (a before & after shot would be cool too).

 

I'm sure everyone demands more photos of different angles of that ink bottle too! :P

More Pictures later, as you suggested. The ink is pretty expensive, but luckily i got a good deal from Jim Sanders (i think that's his name). you can email him to check if he has some more in stock at poohcornerpens [at] aol [dot] com.

I bought a bottle of the Sailor Blue Black last week at Avalon. I imagine they have Black, too.

Dudley, with that review of a Sailor ink, you have joined the ranks of the ultra-cool on "Inky Thoughts" B) (Not even I am on that list yet :blush: ).

I love the Sailor ink bottle! So classy and modern at the same time :)

 

My Sailor black shows a tiny bit of greyness to it though :( Maybe my pen I use it on is a bit dry?

Okay water tests, I would post some pictures of the bottle but i lent it out to a freind. I too notice that there is some greyness to the edges of the letters, but its not that much, but certainly i tried it with a drier nib and it was a bit greyer.

And for those who's wondering about the blueish green streaks.,.. its because i was filling another pen with Caran d'Ache Turquiose green, and this happened....

Hi,

 

In my book, Sailor black wins for smooth, good, blackness. :)

 

Nice ink, not to mention that I don't ordinarily use black ink.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
