That 5:1 Yu-yake to Yama-budo is drool-worthy! Thanks for posting all these. Now I know that I need all the Iroshizuku inks. I was going to get them anyway, but now I know that I must.

Yama-budo is the magic mixer of all time.

 

I've let most of the mixes sit for 24 hours or so in my beaker. No bad outcomes so far. They seem to all mix just fine.

I finally inked up a pen of my Syo-budo mix after a three day wait. So it's nice to know they play together well. It'd be a shame (and expensive) if they didn't!

Go on then, post up a sample.

Alrighty, here are my photos. I don't have a scanner, so I took these in natural light.

 

The first is of the mix testing I did, on a plain 'ol cheap sketchbook.

 

 

 

 

 

And here's the 1:1 on Clairefontaine. I did dilute the ink quite a bit, I'm not sure how much. Enough to get it to this color.

Thanks. I thinned it about a third to lighten the tone a bit.

 

Also came to the realization that the Pantone chart is the ultimate mixing guide.

I've always wanted to try one of those. I look forward to seeing it in use!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

You gotta explain the feed on that; it's killing me. I take it is an eye dropper fill as well?

That's awesome.

Pantone is good for that, haha.

Find the color and there is the recipe.

*shudders* This is going to become expensive. How does tsutsuji compare to yama-budo when used as the magenta...and on, and on.

Damnedable fascination of color.

      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
