Did all the Parker Penman inks have a pronounced sheen?

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Parker Penman Ebony Black has a bit of sheen similar to Pelikan Brilliant Black, but more pronounced.

"No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think." -J.S. Mill, On Liberty

MB Ink of Love, Seasons Greetings green and brown; Sheaffer Burgundy... I don't mind using discontinued ink in rotation with newer ink... I hope I live long enough to finish a bottle, much less the whole stash. :)

My pen club met last night, and the theme was paper and ink. The man next to me had a bottle of Penman Ruby and Penman Mocha. So, I did get to try the Ruby. Cross one off my bucket list!

Pelikan Blue black is still made, just not sold in the US.

I have plenty at the moment, but I tend not to grab it hoping to save it for *the future*

 

I also have two bottles of MB blue-black, (the good stuff!)

 

The one I kinda wish were more readily available is the old Sheaffer blue-black, the current Slovenian stuff is close, but after finding an old bottle of blue-black, I realized it's not the same.

 

It's not that big of a deal however, as there are plenty of inks out there for me to play with...

Increase your IQ, use Linux AND a Fountain pen!!http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk11/79spitfire/Neko_animated.gif

Penman Sapphire.

Levenger Fireball. Interesting color, especially if you let it evaporate a bit, and it is one fantastic ink for grading/marking papers. I'm down to my last half bottle...

 

I would love to see a photo of that color.

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

      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
