As promised in this post, I've made an attempt at reviewing all 5 Parker Penman inks. If you click the link at the bottom of this first post, you'll be able to download a PDF-file containing all four pages. Be warned, though, it's about 800Kb...

I hope this method works out. The problem with these pages is, that decreasing their size also decreases the way they look. If it doesn't turn out to be the best method of posting I will do it the traditional way. Ofcourse, I'll be more than happy to provide some smaller images, if anyone asks for them.

Best regards!

Great review! I like the Ruby and the Mocha.

And you have such beautiful writing!

What an outstanding review! Thanks for taking the time and trouble to do this.

I only have the Sapphire and Ruby Penman inks, but I completely concur with your conclusions about them. Sapphire does not feather on the papers I use (other than cheap legal pads), but it does tend to go through a lot of them so that you can see "ghost" writing on the reverse.

Best regards,

Excellent review HC! Format is just great as is, and I'm on slow-mo dial-up! THANKS!!!

Thanks, Hypercamper.

Your scan of the Sapphire matches up perfectly on this monitor.

Thanks again.

Thanks, guys!

The PDF-idea seems to be working fine. I'll probably use it for other reviews as well...

Thanks for the review, HyperCamper. Loving that Mocha...

Thank you so much for your ink reviews, Hypercamper. I have heard a lot about the ink----it is a favourite of many and yet some won't use it!
That Penman Emerald is lovely; no wonder KCat loves that ink!

Hi Hypercamper,

Wow, a lovely review of all Penman inks, no less! This is the first time ever I see them all together.

Thank you very much for your time and effort to bring these all together, in a nice, well-balanced review!

I hadn't seen the Ruby before, and I must say I also like it a lot.

Warmest regards, Wim

Thank you for the great pdf review. However, I'm more impressed with your beautiful penmanship! Beautiful and legible. You must be quite an emotional individual with that degree of slant--I couldn't do that if my life depended on it.

Thanks for the review.
I like the Emerald a lot.

Just adding my voice to the chorus of adulation!

It's great to actually see these inks after so many rave reviews. Thanks so much for putting the PR DC Supershow blue next to the Penmen Sapphire. It's a comparison that's been made pretty frequently on this forum, and it's obviously an apt one.

Any chance of seeing the PR Sherwood next to the penman Emerald? Or is that just greedy?

Thanks HyperCamper for the review... You did such a good job, I bid and won the 4 bottle set on eBay. Between you and Wim (FPN Ink), you guys are springing a serious hole in my pocketbook.
