Any/all Akkerman inks?

 

 

I think they have all been reviewed.

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

I would additionally wish to see a review of J. Herbin Authentic Ink (“Encre Authentique”). i feel it is a comparatively new ink.

Hi,

 

:W2FPN:

 

That ink is not designated as suitable for use in fountain pens, so I don't think it's eligible for inclusion in the Ink Review Forum.

 

However, there may be Members like myself who do use that ink in dip pens. I invite you to open a Topic in the Inky Thoughts Forum, (or perhaps the Penmanship Forum), to gain more insight into that quite unique ink.

 

Bye,

S1

Piper Premium Black, Royal Blue, and Blue-Black. Piper is a Franklin Christoph brand; the ink cartridges are available here and the first two as bottles (called "classic black" and "blue 72") from here. They are the cartridges you get with a new FC pen which is how I know about them. The black is a lovely deep black (probably my new favourite black 'colour'), the blue a bright blue; both somewhat prone to bleed-through. I only had the two cartridges I got with my Model 66 and have used them up trying to figure out why the stupid nib doesn't work, so can't do the reviews.

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

It's been out for a year but I'm surprised no one has written a review here of Louis Vuitton inks. If anyone has any of their colors, could you please post your review? :)

Thanks Amber. The links are very helpful.

 

I got the entire range of Chelpark inks with one week to go for fade Olympics, too late to send the writing samples.

 

 

Don't worry, I'll do it again next year.

No. I just checked the list. There are a few yet to be reviewed: 8, 12, 17, 25, 26 and 29.

 

I have 26 & 29 and will see about doing reviews this week. Just have to decide which pens to use.

Diamine Ochre

 

(I'm looking for a good brown with high sheen)

 

Thanks!

 

 

ooo Welcome aboard!

 

Diamine Ochre is pretty, but you might try MB Toffee. Also, Diamine Ancient Copper is wonderful.

Have the Nagasawa Kobe inks Shinkaichi Gold (#22) and Purple Gray (#32) been reviewed?

 

 

Welcome aboard!!!

 

I've done some doodles with the Tanum Purple (#32), but didn't do a review. How have you liked them?

Oh dear.

 

 

Ha! Did I put you on the spot? Sorry! You could also send me a sample and I'll do a review if you prefer. :P Or if you just write the review you can mail it to me and I'll take care of taking pictures and uploading it.

Let's do this, because our camera is not the best at close-up shots that might show shading/sheen, etc.

      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
