cool ink, but i have no use for that particular shade, except perhaps in my

journal i use for church, and the exacompta forum journal paper does not

really seem to agree well with this ink (or any of the other iron galls come to

think of it).

enjoy

I have a bottle arriving tomorrow from Goulet, and I intend to use it alongside Salix for sketching. From what I've seen so far it looks like an intriguing color. But I'll have to experiment to determine which nib works best.

Only my finest nibs do not bleed through on my Exacompta Firum journals. Unfortunately, I bought three of them, plus a journal cover.

agreed. i found that my twsbi 540 xf nib and noodler's aircorp blueblack was a really nice combo for that paper. also, my danitro densho with its fine nib and pelikan brilliant black is decent, but it will bleed a bit in places.

To match the colour of my Edison Purple-Web Celluloid Pearl, I inked up with R&K Scabiosa. This ink & this pen make a perfect match.

Scabiosa shades beautifully when using a juicy bold 1.1mm stub. I have been a great fan of blue/black IG inks. Dusty purple Scabiosa has now become another IG favourite.

I've just cleaned this out of a pen which I felt wasn't getting its fair share of writing. Not because of the ink as I think it's one of the nicest around, in that colour range.

This one needs a really wet pen to shine. I use it in a 1.4mm Minuskin stub with excellent results...the shading is gorgeous.

Usually I stick with blues, and I always need a water resistant ink. I finally caved and decided to try this stuff and I am so happy I did. The performance,water-resistance and unique color has vaulted it to my favorite. This stuff is fantastic!

Hey welcome to FPN - good discussion and good paper too! I haven't added Scabiosa to my ink collection, because it was a dry writer and that made me crazy. I agree it needs a wet pen to really show off.

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

I use mostly semi-flex, which is wetter than normal regular flex....that inks is much darker with a wetter pen. It is not so shy.

I find this ink too pale. I use 1 part scabiosa, 1 part solferino, and 1/6th part sepia to get the shade I want, and still benefit from the iron gall water resistance.

Everything is impermanent.

And if you like a nice purple you can mix equal parts Scabiosa and Salix... :)

This is a great ink; both the performance and color. It works great on crappy paper as well as Rhodia. I bought a bottle as soon as I finished my sample from Goulet.

 

The Salix performs as well, but I'm not a huge fan of it's color.

So many inks, so little time...

Boring, but permanent...so, permanently boring :lticaptd:

Dusty yes,...but Scabiosa is far from boring.

      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
