I have the Muji cards in my possession. The paper is thin and not very large. You can likely swab and write the name of your ink but not too much else. In my experience the swabs bleed through as well so you cannot use both sides of the paper. The only other thing worth mentioning is that they aren't a true white but more of a very light grey color. Not dark by any means. The paper is also smooth, unlike the Nemosyne ones which I recall are more similar in texture to watercolor paper.

 

In a pinch I suppose they're okay. Not my favorites but I'm sure there are worse options. I actually just created a grid and swabbed my inks on Canson Watercolor Paper. Desperate times and all that.

 

I would be interested in hearing how you found the cards you ordered, Fabienne!

They aren't the worst but I wouldn't want anyone buying them to think they're similar! For the price, I suppose I shouldn't be complaining!

Here's a picture. The paper underneath is white watercolor paper. Also, you can see there was some feathering when writing.

They are really not that bad... In a pinch, and especially if you don't have options... they will do just fine.

The two browns I'm using at present:

Iroshizuku Yama-Guri (which I think looks too green in the first image :( )

They look disconcertingly similar here, more so than I think they really are! :unsure:

Oh, those are wonderful. Thank you.

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

Diamine SBRE Brown.

 

He got an ink named after him? Or is he named after the ink?

 

it's a beautiful one, nonetheless.

I don't know what color Silly Putty really is, but I put it in pink and brown.

Oh, and I should mention, that color above, that HalloweenHJB sent is CLEAN Silly Putty. After you use Silly Putty is a different color.

      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
