Okay, filled up the sheet. I had about finished off that fill of Napa Burgundy, so I flushed and filled with Diamine Merlot. Even though the swab shows it leans a little more purple than the others it is a great color and appears to be the winner out of these two. I may end up with bottles of both, but at least one of them.

Amber - made some notations with at least the Merlot and perhaps the Napa Burgundy too on those CRV's. They will go in tomorrow's mail.

Looking great.

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

Sunglass colors! So bright you need to wear shades... :D

 

Throw in Momiji, Blazing Sunset, Wild Strawberry, and Bougainvilliea, and the paper might spontaneously ignite!

Freehand doodle of my initial, H, on Tomoe River paper, using reds, golds, and oranges (Rouge Hématite, Matador, Gold Antiqua, Claret, Ng Special '16, etc.). Then a wet swab to smooth out the shading.

Blackstone Uluru Red.

 

This ink has been in only one pen so far (a Conklin with a F nib) but it has severe issues with hard starts and nib creep. Once it starts writing, the ink is extremely wet and flowing. The Conklin has otherwise been a very well-behaved writer with other inks. So the jury is still out on Uluru Red.

But do you like the color? :D

 

If so, then try the ink in a different pen to see if it has the same problems. It's almost totally mysterious how an ink in one pen can act totally differently in another pen. So if you love the color, it's worth the time to check it out in a variety of pens on a variety of papers.

 

Let us know how it turns out...

The color is fantastic. The pen belongs to my partner, who also loves the color. So we are going to try it in other pens.

 

One bizarre thing about Uluru Red. Before filling the pen, I gave the bottle a shake. That was nearly a week ago, and there are still bubbles at the top of the bottle. And there are lots of bubbles in the converter. This ink looks like it has major surfactants in it.

Remember that the Blackstones are concentrates so you can add water to them and keep a lot of the beautiful rich color.

Well, I'll be a son of a gun! I may have found the exact perfect bright red that I've been craving: Sailor Irori. I had always thought it might be too pink, but in comparison to Lycoris Red and Momiji, it has just the perfect amount of orange to make it brilliant. And the SHEEN?!! Oh, yes!

I'm going to try Iori soon. I love Momiji, but it's pink (except for those few times when it appears red).

      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
