I laid out my inks on my desk to take photos for a couple of fellow FP bloggers. I thought I would share. :)

 

3 different angles - 163 inks...

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry

So what papers do you test the inks with using your basic 8 nibs of various flexes and widths.

 

I'm coming up on ink 50...not counting dip pen inks....don't have my required 100 Euro inks yet....could be I'll break off and start chasing English inks at 75.

 

I do have two of the three required Noodler inks. :unsure:

Wow. It'd take me forever to rotate through those inks. Thanks for letting us in.

 

It varies for me. I tend to get through the 'safe' inks in my collection quicker as there is less of them compared to pens that I deem them suitable for. At the other end of the scale my Baystate Blue (my most dangerous ink) hasn't seen a pen since the 8th March 2012 - It is just getting back to the top of the list now.

 

To prolong the life of my inks I place them in my old wine cabinet during the summer so that they have a constant 18 degree C temperature.

I use Rhodia or Clairefontaine almost exclusively. I do have some Crane & Co and other fancy letter paper stock as well.

 

I am focusing on the Diamine inks this year and but have added new Montblanc and new Noodler's if the label art appeals to me.

This is why this site is so dangerous when it comes to feeding ink addictions. Any time I feel like I have too many I just think "Welllllll I'm not as bad as some people on FPN so I might as well just buy another bottle" ;)

Wow. My husband thinks I have too many ink bottles already.... And I've just added a couple colors to my "wish list" to sample the next time I'm ordering inks and pens.

Did you try samples of these first, or just bite the bullet and order 'em all as full bottles? I know I have a higher number of ink vials than actual bottles, and with a few exceptions (Pharmacist's iron gall inks the vintage Quink Brown, a couple of Noodler's highlighter inks, and the freebie bottle of Platinum Mix-Free Flame Red I got when I ordered my first Konrad last year) always sampled first.

And how many of these are duplicate bottles, or are they all different?

I had to clear the pens off to make room for the inks :) The poor lonely pen is a rollerball that can't make use of all those inks.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
