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

Very nice display! I bought the ink with hopes that it would be like Rouge Hématite or Émeraude de Chivor, but it was really dull in comparison. Hope your batch was more interesting... :)

It's okay. It happened for a reason.

I now have a new favourite mug from Emma Lacey and now that autumn is closing in you can hold the mug in your hand, using the most perfect thumb grip, and feel the warmth of the coffee.

You may jest but I've already splashed Gris de Payne all over it :yikes:

 

All good. Wiped off easily. Phew.

Rotring Sevilla Red. Rotring doesn't make inks any more. I have only a few drops of this left, maybe enough for another pen refill. But enough to make a sample to preserve here. It is a very slow-drying ink on Clairefontaine paper.

So, this Diamine SBRE Brown...how would I get my greedy hands on a quantity?

 

This is my downfall, of course: falling in love with something they made three bottles of.

Rotring Sevilla Red

 

I just found some decade-old papers written with this ink, and the ink from then has more red tones than appear in the scan I posted above. It's actually more of a true red with an orange cast. The bottle had leaked while in storage, so I think it was exposed to air and the dyes have changed.

 

I'll try to post a scan of a comparison of "then" vs. "now". One thing is that the "now" ink takes a very long time to dry on the page, so I am likely to discard the remainder.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
