What Is Your Current Favorite Ink?

[fiberdrunk]

It's a tie between Noodler's Lermontov and Black Swan in the Roses. I also love Montblanc Blue-Black (I'm enamored with iron gall inks these days).

[yotiao]

My currrent favorite is R&K Verdigris, absolutely love its vintage-looking grey/green/blue-black.

[PaulK]

Noodler's Polar Black, Polar Blue, and Polar Brown. Since now there is greater likelihood of my correspondence being exposed to wet, snowy conditions, I thought this to be the best choices. I've found that they've done very well in all my pens, nice flow, & bright, rich colors.

 

My best,

 

Paul

At the moment, I'm using: Waterman Florida Blue, Sheaffer Blue, PR Cosmic Cobalt and Sheaffer Purple. It's my season for blues (and a token purple), and they'll stay in rotation until the vernal equinox.

Herbin Poussiere de Lune, probably because it's my newest ink.

[omicron]

It may well forever be Levenger's Amethyst.

[desdedez]

Rohrer & Klingner Sepia, because of the old document look it gives in cream paper (using it on a Parker Vacumatic with XF nib).

Flow and dry time also excellent. IMO, It beats J. Herbin Cacao du Brésil and Noodler's Manjiro Nakahama if you are after a

vintage look (the other two I tried).

Mine is Diamine Registrar's ink. I never get bored of seeing blue ink turn to dark black.

[Delphideo]

I'm still looking for my perfect dark purple. The past months I've been debating between Noodler's Purple Wampum and PR Ebony Purple. PR Ebony Purple wins hands down. It's so dark it's almost black unless you hold it up to a light source. Now I just need to compare it with Noodler's Nightshade.

MB Oyster Grey

[farseer911]

Noodlers Henry Hudson Blue

and

Noodlers Swisher Mix Lakeshore Spruce

[SnowLeopard]

Iro ku-jaku...outrageous shading with a Pel M 800 iB nib. Quite a surprise. Beautiful turquoise green-blue.

Mine is probably Noodler's Navy right now.

1. Parker Penman Sapphire (still have a few bottles left)

 

+1 on Penman Sapphire! I have two bottles of Sapphire, Emerald and Ebony still.

 

Also loving Edelstein Topaz.

Greetings all,

 

Very difficult to narrow down; there are a lot of colors I am quite fond of; however, for basic, daily user inks, it would be between these three:

 

1. Quink Permanent Blue

 

2. Everflo Blue-Black, (waiting for full bottle in the mail; fell in love with the sample- it looks just like Waterman blue-black BEFORE it changes color).

 

3. Diamine Twilight, (waiting for full bottle in the mail; fell in love with the sample).

 

All the best,

 

Sean

I switch back and forth between Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo and Noodler's Old Manhattan Black <3

[ubuntu]

1) Sheaffer skrip purple

2) Herbin 1670

[dizzypen]

In terms of most used, i'd have to say Noodlers Navy. Ive got a 16 ounce bottle of the stuff to prove it. It's not the prettiest color I have, but it has proven to be the most functional.

[bassopotamus]

Noodler's FPN Van Gogh Starry Night

[SlipyNaricis2112]

Herbin 1670 is tied with Noodler's Baystate Blue in my opinion. They're both very deep, saturated colors that astound me in a natural lighting setup. Honorable mention goes to Aurora black, always there when I need it.
