What a nice bottle! I bought this Visconti Burgundy at Casa della Stilografica when me and my wife visited Florence. The bottle was cause of some words father and son (owner of the shop) had. But later more on that! What a great shop. It is a small shop but you can't imagine what they have!

I can't believe I found so many inks that are great and working together very fine with the Moleskinepaper. This ink is red more red then the Noodler's Cayenne I have in my Lamy Vista. Noodler's Cayenne is more orange-red. The Visconti is more red-red. The flow is great in my Visconti Van Gogh (fine nib).

In the written review I wrote:

"Tuesday, august 11, 2009

 

Visconti van Gogh (fine nib) filled with Visconti Burgundy.

The ink is more red then the Noodler's Cayenne which is more orange-red. I like the color very much.

The ink does not bleedtrough the Moleskine paper in combination with this pen.

It takes about 25 seconds to dry, which is normal I think.

Their is no visible shading or feathering. It is a great ink on this beautiful paper.

The Bottle

The older men (I think it was the father) told me to glue the bottem of the bottle to the holder on the floor to avoid that it tumbles. But the young owner of the store denied it and told me to do it like in the picture. Well both work I think.

The bottle is shaped that way so you can get a lot of ink out of the bottle.

 

Bleedtrough

I can give this ink a thumbs up for Moleskine-friendly ink. It does not bleedtrough in combination with this ink or in combination with the Monblanc 146 (Le Grand) wich I also tested.

This is the only ink I've bought two bottles of, I love it so much. In one of my pens, it's a rich, ruby colour. (OK, so it's the only one I've tried it in so far ....!)

 

GBA Pens may still have some on half-price sale .... :P

 

Oh, and edited to say thanks for reviewing it!

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

Thank you so much for this great and extensive review on a very nice ink !

 

I have visited your BLOG and like the GTD part of it. :thumbup: I really have to do something with this work method in the near future...so the David Allen paper I am going to put in my inbox for a later decision (already learning something valuable here besides ink knowledge)

 

Bedankt !!!

Filling a fountain pen is much more fun than changing a printer cartridge

      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..

      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
