Inksamplepalooza - What To Try?


arrScott

Recommended Posts

With Goulet Pens discounting ink samples through November, I'm going through my mental list of inks I've wanted to try. Gonna stock up on little vials of ink! (Because that one drawer in my desk is only half-full with sample vials. Obviously I need more ink.) But my whole wish list is too big, so I'm having to narrow it down a bit. So far, I'm set on De Atramentis Scottish Whisky and Diamine Tyrian Purple.

 

What inks are you going to jump on during Inksamplepalooza?

Hadn't seen that. Will have to check it out.

 

Will have to see hat tickles my fancy tonight.

I'm going to get a selection of Iroshizoku samples. I am attempting NaNoWriMo and writing my draft longhand, so this is a good opportunity to test drive a number of inks.

 

I like to switch to a different color ever time I sit down to write, so I have very colorful comp books!

      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

      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
