Sailor Ink Mixing With Lamy Ink


My Blood is INK

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm a bit new to the fountain pen world.

 

When I was refilling my TWSBI Diamond 580, with Lamy neon coral ink, I turned the piston around and emptied the last ink drops in the bottle. What I didn't know, was that I was emptying it and refilling it in my Sailor jentle apricot bottle... So i got maybe a fifth of a 580 barrel with Lamy ink in my Sailor ink.

 

I don't really know the consequences are, don't have a lot of knowledge about chemicals mixing. What do you think? Will there just be a slight color difference, or can something else happen?

If no strange life forms or crazy particulates start to form, then show us a pic? Even a cotton swab would be interesting.

The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards.

I believe the Sailor apricot dominates the ink. But you can still find a trace of the Lamy corals intensity. (Sorry for bad quality on the pic.) After playing around with it for a while, it's mostly orange.

If it doesn't solidify right away, it will be fine. I think it looks great.

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

      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
