Not much of a review, just wanted to play with the new italics nib i got. Just want to show how Black Cherry looks like, since there was a post about wanting a reddish black ink. This may or may not fit the bill. **note, with fine nib i ment to say it looks alot lighter, not darker.

and of course a close up, that shows color and shading better. will hopefullly do a followup review to give more insight like water test and all, but i can tell you one more thing so far, i coughed on it a few minutes ago and the some letters look like they got incinerated and turned into hazy ghosts....

Nice shading! That color looks and sounds more delicious every time I see it written on paper and read reviews of it. I've tried the Lamy Safari italic pens in a store, and I agree that they are delightfully smooth. Nice handwriting, too B) .

That is pretty.

 

Is this an unstable ink? My one bottle did not look anything like that. I had to put a tablespoon of Quink black in mine to get a usable grey with a tint of redish tan.

YMMV

Unstable in what way? like fading?? I had this ink for about three to four months now. I've also taken notes with it, and the earliest date for that was Feb. 14th of this year. So far it still looks just like the day i wrote it.

 

I think depending on the pen you're using, different characteristics are shown. I can tell you that using a dry fine nib, it doesnt look like this at all. maybe i can show you later, but the color isnt as deep and looks consistently like the lighest portions of the letters you see in the macro

Here shows the ink with a dry fine lined lamy steel nib, as well as how crappy my handwriting was when i first gotten into fountain pens. Please note that the picture is a little off, here it shows it just slightly lighter than in real person. Maybe cause its such a large macro, and the hieght of my writing back then is about 3/4 the size i used in most of my reviews.

No, the bottle I got was so light, and this was after shaking it up vigorusly, that it looked like the fourth or fifth flush through the pen. No color. Even with the tablespoon of Quink black it is just a gray.

Oh wow really?? that is strange. I remember hearing a problem before about PR ink in older threads, yours might be one of those batches then. i;ll see if i can find the thread.

My thought is that I got a bottle from the back of the shelf that came from a bad batch of time past.

 

On the other hand, it could have been a lucky package that USPS tested one of their heavy duty X-Ray machines on. :blink:

Nice review! Really like the colour and shading of the ink...

 

Maybe I'll buy some...

 

Maybe this'll bankrupt me one day... ;)

I love this color but it smears like crazy for me. Just never really dries.

Isn't sanity really a one-trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy . . . ooh hoo hoo hoo! . . . the sky's the limit!

Really?? it dries pretty fast for me, even on Clairfontaine. On regular printerpaper it gets soaked in like right away, but doesnt bleed as much as other inks.

Very nice review, and your handwriting is quite nice. Shame about PR's slow drying time for lefties like me. I just had to try some, so I got a bottle of Tanzanite, which I'll soon be parting with, as it's just TOO slow to dry. Hmm, seems I heard that before. :doh:

Yes, it's very strange--and I live in a quite dry climate. (Not sure if that would make any difference, but I throw it out there.) All of the intensely-pigmented PR inks I tried did the same. Smudged and smeared like crazy, even days after I'd written. Black CHerry was the worst for me, tho.

 

I was very cheerful when I found Noodler's.

The non drying-ness is quite strange cause i havent experienced it myself. could it be differences in batch composition you think??

 

And For KCat, next time i'll write a review for large black cherries. Let's see... that will be in a few months when cherry season comes around =P

Not sure--I have a friend in New York (I'm in Colo) who had the same problem with some of the PRs. These things always seem to be some weird combo of paper + nib + pleasure/displeasure of the ink gods.

      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
