Endurance Test

Recommended Posts

I've been abusing my current collection of inks on another thread. But having decided that 50+ samples wasn't enough, I've bought more samples and will subject them to similar misery - water and Las Vegas sunlight. I won't start the experiment until this weekend when I have expensive (child) labor so if you want to see anything special, post your requests here.

This looks like a very interesting experiment, however, the images are way too large to load on this old computer. :(

Thank you for telling me. I'm in the process of fixing that now. I didn't upload the new pics yet.

I've reuploaded and hopefully that helped.

To best explain, I took all of the colors (and I added some from my prior experiment. I used a Speedball C-4 nib for each ink. The paper is an acid free / lignin free inkjet compatible business card stock. If any of the inks look "too wet" - blame the user not the ink. I will complain about these dip pens later. Once I had the ink on the pen, I wrote the ink name on two cards and doodled all around.

 

After all of the inks were dry, I took a wet brush and ran it across a single line.

Once the first wash dried, I used a really wet brush and attempted to paint the bottom doodle with water.

So, here are the first rounds after some exposure to water....

Ahh, much better now, thank you!

 

I look forward to seeing how some of those colors hold up.

 

 

P.S. I like your BSB + CCC mixes.

The Baystate colors are changing quickly. They are still pretty. The Visconti mixes are also changing. In my other ones, they don't completely disappear, but they do change.

I found this to be interesting. The gel highlights are completely gone. The crayons kids marker is doing almost well as the sharpie.

No surprise... the pretty scent is gone almost immediately.

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
