I present to test the ink De Atramentis Cement Grey, who probably had to be gray, and it is more green with a touch of gray. Like most inks De Atramentis has good characteristics and drying time. Color presented reminds me a bit of ink Private Reserve Grey Flannel, with that here added a little more green. I like the gray ink, but with the addition of more blue than green. Despite this, I recommend!

 

Producent: De Atramentis

Series, colour: Cement Grey

Pen: Waterman Hemisphere "F"

Paper: Image Volume 80 g / cm2

 

1. A drop of ink smeared with a nib

Thanks for the review. I have really liked most of the De Atramentis inks I've tried, and Tchaikowsky/Silver Grey is a favorite.

Thanks for the great review. This is a favorite of mine under the Charles Dickens label; hadn't realized they were the same color. You'd think the "Color: Cement Grey" line on the label would have been a tip off, but I guess I didn't get past Dicken's portrait.

i really like this color. i'm a big fan of grey inks, and it is dark enough to qualify as a good everyday writing grey.

Thanks for the review. It's an interesting colour that reminds me of Diamine Graphite. I think I'll give it a try for note-taking.

Wow, you have been busy!

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
