I don't have a picture handy but Pilot's mixable red that came with a Parallel pen has a nice gold sheen on Tomoe River.

A friend from polish fountain pen forum (PHD student in chemistry) has created a line of deeply saturated inks. One of my favourites - Zielony Sosnowy (pine green) - has amazing sheen:

 

Here it looks "innocent":

But take a look from different angle and you'll get something like this:

Did I hear someone say group buy?

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Yeah, Lefty. A group buy must happen. I don't need any more ink, but I really don't have anything beautiful from Poland...

I can't provide a picture at the moment, but Diamine's Tchaikovsky from the Music Set has an amazing amount of sheen. A bit like Diamine Majestic Blue.

It appears that Noodler's Army Green should be added to the "inks with a sheen" list:

 

http://i61.tinypic.com/5x6igz.jpg

 

http://i61.tinypic.com/2h2nsq8.jpg

 

Is that the original formula or the reformulated version? I have a bottle of the reformulated that I picked up a year ago Christmas (at the late lamented Art Brown's in NYC), just before seeing the announcement that Nathan Tardif was bringing back the original formulation. I don't know as how I've noticed any sheen to it -- but then, I also haven't used it for a while.

Which inks have the most sheen..that is visible without holding the paper a certain way or using certain lighting conditions ?

 

Inks that also work on a variety of paper & nib sizes

 

I want an ink that clearly has sheen...

 

Is it possible??

J Herbin Rouge Hemitite leaves no doubt and no strained eyeballs either! Same thing with Akkerman #5 Shocking Blue.

I received my Akkerman Shocking Blue a couple of days ago...but haven't inked up yet.

 

I need to get the J Herbin Rouge . Do you know how to tell the re-released version from the one that didn't have the gold sheen?

I personally have the 3rd generation of the ink and it has tons of gold sheen, because people complained about the lack of gold sheen in the 2nd generation ink.

What constitutes third generation vs second generation? My rouge hematite, purchased at the end of last summer, is broken. Some shading, only very rarely sheening. Mostly, it's just orangeish red.

This is supposed to be the original version of Army Green brought back by Noodlers. I recently picked up a bottle from Goulet Pens. I was just horsing around with it today in my Ranga Cruiser and my Visconti Rembrandt. It shades like mad. I'm gonna buy another bottle.

 

Oh, and count me in if there's a group buy on that Polish green ink.

      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
