Perhaps if you share the ink recipe, it will improve the odds that someone will recognize your unknown paper. (No, I haven't a clue what it is. Nice looking ink, though.)

That looks like the Pelikan Violet-Red mix I'm using, in a WET pen... :hmm1: but it's probably something else... and it's a bit darker

That's gorgeous! It seems to me that a good true dark burgundy is very much sort after. That being the case why haven't the big guns come up with anything close?PRs Burgundy Mist but is not nearly as dark as Binder Burg, and takes days to dry.

 

Anyone fancy dropping a hint to Phil at Diamine. He could do it as abespoke to see how it woud go (the Sherwood Green bespoke they do is awesome!)

Is it a recipe or bottle?

 

I will buy either one (after a few other purchases).

Soli Deo Gloria!

Wouldn't it be more fun if Richard decided to bottle it and we could get the first release of Binder Burgundy?

 

Then everyone would only have to buy one bottle of ink to get the color to drool for.

 

I'm waiting to hear if He wants to hit a sac fly or a home run. cool.gif Hoping for a homer. But either way we all win!

 

C'mon, pb2, cough up that recipe!

The only shame is it's not going to look so nice in my xx(x)f nibs. But still come on, cough up! Purty please!

Okay, okay, okay, I'll spill it (so to speak).

 

We're not able to carry inks for sale, so it's a recipe, not a bottle. I've never been enthusiastic about mixing 3 drops of this, 7 drops of that, 18 drops of the other, and so on, so my recipes are simple. My aim here was to produce a burgundy that has blue undertones like those in real wine, not brown undertones like those in most commercial burgundy inks. Binder Burgundy is a 50/50 mix of Waterman Purple and Sheaffer Slovenian Skrip Red.

Thank you!!!

Now... Waterman Purple I have. The next question is whether I buy the Sheaffer Slovenian Skrip Red (which I will never otherwise use) or play around with one of the reds I have... Hmmm...

Thanks from me as well. They say simple is best, and this is a living proof it can be the nicest as well. I don't have any Skript Red at hand right now, but I'll give it a try with Waterman Red and start looking for a bottle of the Skript.

Richard, this is what makes us love you beyond being the Nib-Meister you are. This the Script Red (it has "Slovenia" in glass letters on bottom of bottle) at Amazon.

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

      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
