Which Inks Are You Using Today?

Today I am using diluted Rohrer & Klingner Aubergine in my Parker 51 plum Demi. I like Aubergine better at full strength, but when this particular pen runs dry, I always fill it with distilled water and write with the result until the pen is empty for a second time, to reduce the amount of flushing I eventually have to do.

So far Montblanc Lavender Purple in a Pilot Prera fine. In my experience, Lavender Purple needs a slightly broader nib or a wetter pen to look its best, but my need today is for an ink dry enough, in a nib abstemious enough, to allow me to underline passages in a paperback book.

Currently using Montblanc Midnight Blue in a Ranga 8B Pen and Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black in Parker 51.

Thinking of switching to some Diamine shades but am unable to decide the pens to be inked.

I am using Bay State Blue, and Noodlers Marine Green.

If I have checks or documents to sign I have one I call Super Ganges Blue.

It's a blend of Upper Ganges and DC Super Show Blues and private Reserve tanzanite. Makes a very nice, reasonably deep and brighter blue, while being 50% bullet proof.

Take-sumi tonight, haven't used this in a while.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

      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..

      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
