I like Sailor inks a lot. It's a pity they produce so many amazing colors for shops in Japan and limit their distribution to Japan and intenet shops. I believe at the moment there are 50 inks in Kobe series (so the image below is not up to date):

Tamon Purple Grey is interesting ink. I like it.

Tiny, ask Napalm is opinion of this ink. I don't hate it like he does. My pen pal loves when I use it.

 

V - great review as always!

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

I saw his review! I could tell he wasn't a fan, but the colour is exactly up my alley so I ordered it anyhow. I should thank you for the stationery, btw! It came the other day and I'm excited to use it. Thanks for the tiny snail.

Writing with a wet OMAS nib, I find it to be very dark, almost black, with just a hint of gold sheen.

Actually, I'm using it in an OMAS fine extra-flessibile, but it's a very wet nib. Hard to see much of the purple in it. I don't have a scanner, but would like to get a good flatbed one. What brand do my fellow ink fanatics recommend for color accuracy? I'd be using it with an iMac.

This appears, at least to my eyes, to be very similar to Diamine Amazing Amethyst, which I very much like.

      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

      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
