Yes, we'd love to hear more and thank you for sharing this information with us.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

1. Is blue-black fading over period of few months?

2. Is Royal Blue the same as the new Camlin Royal Blue/ Bril Royal Blue?

3. How is the feathering? (which seems to be common problem with the new camlin royal blue as per me)

4. How is it compared to Bril ?

I tried seven colors. The experience follows

 

Daytone turquoise blue:- Very good ink much better than Bril turquoise(Bril turquoise has the issue of feathering). Good flow and good color.

Daytone Hawana Brown:- Very dry ink. Can't be used in fine nib pens. Can be used in calligraphy.

 

Daytone Olive Brown:- Very good color. Medium flow and now I'm used this ink as my regular ink.

 

Daytone Bright Violet:- Good violet color, medium flow but skipping problem with my Jinhao pens. Bril violet looks better. Camlin stamp pad ink I tried in my pen looks even better.

 

Daytone Dark Brown:- A light brown color. Very dry ink and can't be used in fine pens. Medium pens it is just OK.

 

Daytone crimson:- Very bright color. But flow irregular and stains on converter. Feathering is also an issue.

 

Daytine Mauve :- Good variety color. The ink is wet and lubricated. Non feathering even on cheap rough papers. I inked this ink in a Baoer 801 EF nib which have a starting problem if unused for a couple of days. I put my pen unused for five days. Even after then it starts writing without any problem.

Thx for the feedback :)

I have been trying Bril for a month now. Im totally not impressed with the rate at which the Bril Royal Blue is fading!!!! Reminds me of Parker!!!

 

Going to get Daytone now. Seems like a promising bet. Plus your feedback adds to it ...

Thx :)

Daytone has another type of ink. Permanent India ink selling in 3 colors blue, black and green. They selling it as calligraphy ink but in description they says permanent ink for fountain pens. Someone reviewed the black one in Amazon.in says the ink as real dark black and non fade-able and non washable. Any one tried this type ink? Anyway I'm going to by and try one of these.

This ink is up on amazon.in (amazon india). But they won't ship to a US address. I guess this is probably due to the US dollar being so overvalued that if they sold to the US, greedy Americans would buy them out of all their stock! I certainly would! The Federal Reserve keeps the dollar so ridiculously high that foreigners have no interest in selling to us. The exchange rate sould NOT be 66 to 1 , but more like 20 to 1, and then we could buy all sorts of cool Indian stuff... And they could buy lots of food from the US... Everybody would benefit. That is the beauty of free trade... but REAL free trade that would benefit Indians too, not just Americans.

      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
