Hello PFNers

 

Here's a quick handwritten review of R&K Solferino. I am currently having some computers problems (my 'normal' computer is out of service and I am now working on an old one until the other gets fixed) so forgive me for the scans. I tried to match the color the most accurately I could. Maybe I'll try to upload better ones once my computer will be back.

 

Hope you'll enjoy!

Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was over...

Thanks for the review. I have received a bottle of think ink about a week or 2 ago. It indeed is a lovely color; A bright violett on the far reddish side. I have it in my Lamy Vista with a brand new converter and have not had any of the darkening effect that you mention if the ink stays in the pen. (You may have some old ink remainings in your MB 264)

 

Filling a fountain pen is much more fun than changing a printer cartridge

I agree that it's a great color, and a nice flowing ink. I always have one or two pens filled with Solferino but it looks nothing like your sample. The ink is the same color, but that is where the similarity stops. :ltcapd:

Best regards, Ken.

I really like purple colors, and this is a wonderful looking one. The shading is nice. Can I ask if you tested any water resistance? Just curious.

Nice handwriting!. Thanks for the review.

      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
