Akkerman #22 Hopjesbruin

Recommended Posts

One of the most popular Akkerman inks. The beautiful bottles need no saying. It's for the bottles that I decided to order from the Netherlands.

Nice shading. I like its wetter part. It has a dark edge around it.

It is said that Hopjesbruin is Diamine Sepia (or Golden Brown?) rebottled.

Comparison

Comparing with some browns: Sailor Brown, Sailor Bung Box Nostalgia, Hopjesbruin, J. Herbin Lie de thé, Noodler's Golden Brown, R&K Sepia, Iroshizuku Yama-guri and Sailor Doyou.

Dude.. you make any ink look AMAZING!!!... :wub: :wub:

 

 

I originally was going to get this bottle (I organize a couple of Group Buys in Toronto).. but I saw some reviews of it comparing it to Diamine Sepia, so I pass. I don't remember my Diamine Sepia looking this good.... But you are a magician with ink.. :lol: ... I think I will give my Sepia a try... ;)

 

 

Thanks for an AWESOME review.... :D

I have this ink and find it does not work in all my pens. Would anyone tell me please: are these inks wetter or drier than most?

Thx in advance

      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
