Thanks much for the good review! This ink looks very pretty. Be nice if it were available locally.

May you have pens you enjoy, with plenty of paper and ink. :)

Please use only my FPN name "Gran" in your posts. Thanks very much!

Thank you!

 

I think Pendemonium had a batch some time ago. Not sure if they have any now.

I got mine in India while on vacation.

Any chance you can post some comparison photos with a more common ink to give us an idea how close the photo is to actual color? Can you comment on how close the photo is to the actual color? TIA, Michael

I've compared to the ink samples I have. Hope it helps.

 

The real thing is slightly purpler than the scan as it shows on my screen. But pretty vibrant. Very well behaved, dries quickly, and produces some nice shading, even with my very wet Pelikan M605 Medium. Has become my daily ink.

Attaching a slightly better scan without the shadow from a folded page.

Rs 12.00 in Calcutta on 08 Dec 2009 , that's 1/4th of an US Dollar :rolleyes: for a 60ml glass bottle . I gave up on parker Quink here cause it's was Rs 20 for 60ml , now gone

Rs 25.00 for 30ml and worse is it fades pretty badly over the years .

Camel Royal Blue is a wonderful blue -- and I'm not partial to blue! I picked up a couple bottles when Pendemomium had it. Wish I would have gotten more.

Camel Ink, manufactured by Camlin Ltd. is a very popular ink here in India. I have used it throughout my school life and still use it as regularly.

It would be nice if Camel starts offering more colours, presently they offer four (blue, black, red and green).

Bril is another nice company, prevalent in southern india, which has a wider range of colours( the four basic ones plus violet, blue-black, turquoise and laurel rose)

 

edit: Camlin also offers the purple colour, let me see if I can find one of those.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
