Garuda Rood - Pw Akkerman Ink No 18

Recommended Posts





Few years ago PW Akkerman started to offer ink private label. The thing that makes their inks special is cool bottle. The colors are nice as well and it remains mystery who makes them for Akkerman.



The rumor has it the mysterious ink maker is Diamine. My experience with these inks makes me believe that's the case.



Garuda Rood is nice red ink that's VERY similar to Diamine Monaco Red (see comparison below).

This two are VERY similar... Since I don't have either of them, I will go with your call... They really look similar. Would you kindly do a chromatography.. if possible.

I really like Garuda Red and use it for grading in my red 205. But my ink, almost perfectly matching the color of this red pen, has a much more orange/tomato red color than in the review above. Of course this could be just my computer.

 

I enjoyed the review--it's nice to know I can fill the bottle with Diamine when the Akkerman's is finished!

OK. I didn't have samples to make proper chromatography but I've found kitchen towel with ink splatters. I usually try to use all the space on kitchen towel so chromatographies of Garuda Rood and Monaco Red "interacted".

 

Anyway here it is:

A proper red.

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

Thank you for these comparisons with the Diamine inks, you are really giving us a great way to look at them. I always love your reviews!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
