I now have a few more colors to line up side-by-side. Here are some Private Reserve inks as well as one by Noodlers Ink. it is my first try at Noodlers and i must say i'm very happy!!Not only in the value of the ink but in the color and reproduction online and in catalogs. Not to say that i don't like PR because i do very much!!

I used five different pens and five inks here. The next post will have a photo of the pens themselves.

 

I really like the Noodlers Cayenne. I'am using it in my new Laban Mentor which i hope to review later. I'm not as happy as i could be with it but,then again,i didn't pay top dollar for a gold nib. Nevertheless,it will be a great work pen!!

 

Let me know what you think of the photo.It is from Nikon D50 SLR. I love this camera!!

 

Cheers,

I'm still "boring." :P I haven't tried colors other than blues, blue-black, and black. Hey....BUT...give me credit, I did purchase some PR Naples Blue! Very beautiful pens!

Handlebar,

 

Few people have orange/red as their dominant pen color; I think it's really cool. They are all beautiful though my favorite is definitely the Nova! How is it as a writer?

Hi Ryan!! The Signum Nova is my favorte writer (although the Visconti comes in a close second). I love the nib and the smoothness of it. If i find more Signums,especially the DeDevina series,i will try to snatch them up.I have only found one of them on sale at ebay for an absurd price ($400 i think). They should really only be around $150 to 250 used. The pen is also my heaviest but in a good way.I hope to do a review of all the pens in the photo sometime soon.Time just isn't there yet..

Great handwriting as usual Handlebar. I like that paticular style you write in. All of the pens in the photo are sheer eye candy!

 

All the best,

How can you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

That's some super handwriting, HB! Thanks for showing that Black Cherry, too. I just ordered some myself! What nib size is on that Conklin? It's such a gorgeous green to boot! :drool:

Hi Kelly!! The nib on the Conklin is a fine. I really like the way it writes although a stub nib would be nice as well. My wife has a blue Conklin Glider with a stub nib that writes delightfully!!!

      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
