Hi All,

 

I'm new here and I'm desperately seeking pink ink. Actually, not desperately, but it's my favorite color and it's what I fill my favorite pens with (currently, it's a Diplomat Esteem, in pink of course). I was brought into the fold of pens a few years ago and since then I've lurked around the edges, but this weekend I went to my first pen show, bought my dream pen and figured I would round out the trifecta of all that is amazing with pens and join FPN.

I would avoid Noodler's Hellfire. It is a pink highlighter ink and I had a hades of a time flushing it out of my Noodler's Pink Panther.

Pink can be sort of pale and hard to read. I've got a bottle of Diamine Cerise, and the effect is quite pinkish, even though it's really a sort of red, I guess.

Welcome! :) I can't say anything on pinks since I don't have any, but here's what I know: you can check out the swab shop at the Goulet's here to get a general idea of some more pinks out there. If you're interested in something, search it using the forum's built-in system or some other search engine (possibly using site:fountainpennetwork.com in your search if you'd like to narrow the query to just this forum) or CTRL+F through the index of ink reviews here. cybaea has also done a wonderful comparison of all Diamine inks here, which covers a wide variety of colors.

 

You can also ask in "Inky Thoughts" , which is one of the most active forums and home to inkophiles.

Hi and :W2FPN:

 

 

Can't help you with pink, being partly colour blind that is not a good colour for me.

But I hope you'll find a lot of inspiration.

 

Enjoy the forum

Noodler's Baystate Cape Cod Cranberry is one of those punch you in the eyes pink. My wife has this loaded in a Kaweco Sport Ice converted to an eyedropper as her "purse" pen.

I just happened upon this link recently which compares pink inks. Of the group, I do know that Pilot/Namiki Iroshizuku yama budo, while expensive is pretty highly regarded around here.

Pink Power to you!!

Diamine - Flamingo Pink.

 

BOOM...in your face pink.

 

Here's a link to the review on my blog. It's my favorite pink - and I didn't even know I liked pink ink until I tried some!

Hi,

 

Though I am not one for Pink ink, Herbin Rose Cyclamen is admired by many who 'Think Pink', including Member kushbaby who penned this note:

I'd suggest starting with Goulet's and then reading up on the inks that you like.

 

Meanwhile, here are some pics of inks in this year's Fade Olympics.

Another vote for Iroshizuku's Kosumosu if you're worried about stains or bad behavior in your pen. If you prefer highly saturated inks, I like Private Reserve's Arabian Rose.

Welcome!

 

I love pink inks and use them a lot for grading. I count Diamine Hope Pink, Iroshizuku Kosomosu, Private Reserve Arabian Rose, and Caran D'Ache Sunset as my favourites. Hope Pink is bright and cheery, Kosumosu is is softer and paler - almost a cherry blossom pink in my pens. Arabian Rose is a lovely, deep, dusky pink, and Sunset is a fiery pink with a hint of orange. J. Herbin also has a few very lovely pinks including Rouge Bourgogne which is a lovely raspberry colour.

 

Along with the others, I suggest checking out the Swab Shop as well as the reviews on here. I'm sure you'll find more than enough pinks to keep you busy. :)

      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
