Noodler's Zhivago -- my favorite green-black ink with the added benefit of being (partially--the black component) bulletproof.

I always get a kick out of these "no affiliation" notations when it's blatantly obvious the poster has absolutely nothing to do with the brand, company, etc. beyond being a customer. It must be a feel-good/feel-important thing. So I'll note up front that nothing I write here on this forum is influenced by any financial-gain motivation.

HAH! I'm an initially reluctant convert as Quink has always been readily available (hence boring) and I've seen mixed reviews on this site. However, having recently also tried Blue-Black, I'm a fan. I like both of them, they produce good shading and as a bonus, they are cheap.

Diamine Golden Brown. (Little accident with the cap of a pen that had a) some breather holes and B) had suffered a bit of nib creep.) Must wash it off; this is not a colour about which people looking at my hands will think "Ah yes. Ink."

Omas Sepia -- not a bad dark brown ink although I much prefer Diamine Ancient Copper which has a burnt red component, is lighter in color and shades beautifully. The Sepia flows well and dries quickly. In my brown rotation, it competes with Ancient Copper as well as Iroshizuku Horsetail and Wild Chestnut...and loses out to all of them for various reasons.

Private Reserve Ebony Purple -- very dark, nearly black in a wet writer. Beautiful purple in a dry writer. Long drying time, good flow characteristics.

That would be fingers and hand.

 

The sac in my Estie Copper Dollar pen suffered a fatal aneurysm. Dumped a good amount of Diamine Ancient Copper all over

my hand.

 

And, I ran out of sacs a month ago and forgot to reorder. :angry:

Sorry about that Bruce.

 

I just reloaded a Vac 700 and got no ink on me! Hooray! The newest ink is Organics Studio E.A. Poe Raven Red.

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

Diamine Deep Blue from Cult pens...My new Nakaya Dorsal Fin decided to divest itself of a full convertor full into the cap during transport...SURPRISE!!! Nicely Diamine washes off pretty easily.

My gloves got a dual dose tonight, from a fresh inking of my TWSBI with Ebony Purple and a Safari with Naples Blue. Hands still somehow ended up with a touch of Asa-gao.

Waterman green, from my Lamy 26P.

I did not tighten the section enough, and ink seeped though.

Private Reserve Midnight Blues - I filled my Visconti Van Gogh Maxi with it and this pen is a hose. Ink looks great on the paper in my notebook though.

 

MB Lavender Purple - filled my Lamy Vista and always manage to get in on my fingers.

My right thumb... PR DCSSB courtesy of a Vac 51 that doesn't like weather changes.

 

My right middle and index finger... 1940's Parker Blue from not paying attention while filling my Vac.

At least this time the good tablecloth wasn't on the table. ;)

      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
