Diamine Majestic Blue - great colour in a pen & on paper, not so good all over my hands. Not a good start to the day.

J. Herbin Rouge Borgogne. Somehow I got it all over my palm, which is odd seeing how I haven't been anywhere near the bottle today, and the pen I've writing with doesn't have a drop or smear of misplaced ink anywhere on it.

Today, I'm trying out three R&K inks.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Had to re-fill some bottles of Akkerman ink today that leaked in shipping. So, my fingers are pink and redattachicon.gifINKS.jpg

 

 

OOOOOOOOO I'm so envious. I want to come visit.

My fingers are stained with Diamine Merlot. This isn't a bad burgundy, but for serious I am getting sick of it, and I want it out of my life so I can move on to another color.

A spot of Cult Pens Deep Dark Blue on my index finger where I missed a spot after refilling my Parker 51.

Noodler's Kung Te-Cheng. I'm going to need a blow torch to remove from my fingers.

Organics Studio's Charles Darwin. When they say it dries fast, they *mean* it! Oh, and it seems to be fairly waterproof too, but the downside of that is that there's a spot on my thumb from *yesterday*....

Black! Last night I dumped out a load of black India ink from a Parker Quink bottle (don't ask!) and it had a nice thick film of solidified ink from the bottom that I had to break up and scrape out with my finger. Nearly all of the ink has washed away, but now it just looks like I have dirty nails...

I had to wipe down the nib on my M205 today and I got a bit of Waterman Absolute Brown on my fingers. Luckily, it washed off fairly quick.

Waterman purple and what ever was on the inside of the vintage pen I took apart in prep for restoration.

Quite literally for the first time in two months, there's not a stain on them.

      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

      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
