Iroshizuku take-sumi (black). One big dark spot right on my middle finger where the pen section rests. I guess my finger drifted too low, touched the feed and then spread the ink all over the section.

Quink Black. Filled a new-to-me pen -- some unknown model Arnold lever-fill with a "Veri Smooth" medium (semi) flex nib -- last night, to test it, and then had to refill it again today to do my morning journal. And it looks as if it doesn't have a lot of capacity, because now I have to fill it again....

Monteverde Blue in a new TWSBI 580 XD, not special. But as Sandy1 has said there's something mysterious about that ink that I can't quite place my finger on.

PR Plum. Inked my Lamy Safari with 1.1 nib after ages. Love the cheerful colour and line variation.

A couple of smudges of Diamine Merlot, since I was washing it out of my Jinhao 1200 (it must've mostly evaporated because I swear there was a lot more in there the last time I had used that pen).

I'm writing an online serial thing. It's urban fantasy. And I have no idea how long it's going to run for.

Waterman Absolute Brown. Pulled the cap off my Sheaffer calligraphy pen today and it dumped most of the refilled cartridge on my notebook. I had filled the cartridge last night to see how it would do in the pen. After some tests last night I capped it and left it laying on my desk. However I think the ink is too thin for the pen as it appears the cartridge drained through the nib into the cap overnight. I'm glad my notebook was there to catch the spill or things would have been even messier!

Diamine Ancient Copper. I've just got a new (to me) pen, and the tines were a little misaligned: didn't spot the issue until I'd filled it. It's now writing much better, and I am very inky.

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

Mostly Diamine Claret with a splotch of Lamy Violet. Quite pretty, in a way.

      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
