LG took that doodle into the amazing ground.

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

You've got Lucky Orange!

Yes, from Fritz-Schimpf.

It's nice but won't be a favourite. It's got that flat, plasticky look. I prefer more characterful oranges - like KWZ Monarch :-)

An odd, but fun pairing: a Tekker ink, "Chasqui" and Sailor-Kingdom Note Mandarin Duck:

Isn't that the oddest thing? Suddenly you play with an ink and it speaks to you, and it's the one you've been looking for for a long time? Crazy, right? :)

 

That's how it worked for me.

 

I wanted an orange ink solely because I use orange for one of my color-coding entries in my planner. It's all I was using it for, so I wasn't concerned about shading, sheen, or any of that. My problem was that I'm not a huge fan of orange, and only like a very narrow range of the color. Basically, I like a vivid, true orange color. Not yellow-orange, gold-orange, brown-orange, red-orange, or pink orange. I wanted in-your-face true orange. Nothing else.

 

So finding the right shade was going to be a challenge. Or so I thought.

 

In my maiden ink voyage, I browsed through several ink colors and tentatively chose Diamine Pumpkin, because most of the swatches I saw of it seemed to come closest to what I was looking for in an orange ink. I don't know what I was thinking to buy an entire 80ml bottle to see if I liked it, rather than a sample, but I took the plunge.

 

As soon as I inked up a pen and put it to paper, it was exactly the shade of orange I was looking for. I mean, dead on. :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

I've tried a few other oranges since in sample form, but none of them compare for me. Diamine Pumpkin is still "my" orange ink, and probably always will be.

 

I love it when life works out like that. Most amusing of all, it was one of those occasions when buying ink after a few glasses of wine worked out well. I bet that won't happen again!

^^ Aquaria - Same here. Just in terms of color, I love the deep red-orange of KWZ Graprfruit but it's not what springs to mind when I think 'orange'. Skrip orange - nice, straight orange, flat-looking when it dries. Kaweco Sunrise - <shrug>. Sailor Kin-mokusei - wow! this is orange.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Some Robert Oster Oranges. Zest is rich and bold, and Ng Special is a wonderful shade of orange, but it needs a bit of adjustment (PhotoFlo) because it tends to be dry. But all in all, I really like these inks!

 

[And the Japanese erasers are just for decoration...]

      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
