Sorry I ditched my Epson printer so I can't participate but it wouldn't scan anymore because it said the cartridge was empty.

 

I got Sailor Kobe Arima Amber from cool-japan a couple months ago. It's not exciting in the least and sometimes hard to start which is exciting in a bad way. Light yellowy/orangey brown, not much shading, no sheen, no saturation to rave about. Looks to be quite the same color as that Edelstein Amber above. Used it in a Shawn Newton Townsend with an M nib then switched to Yamadori.

A few more items for the thread: Amber (Pelikan Edelstein), Inti (L'Artisan Pastellier), and another version of Helianthus (Rhorer & Klingner).

 

I apologize for the scans --my scanner just cannot seem to capture the right shade/tint, and my skills on Photoshop are limited...

I love your swatches --they really capture the complexity of the inks. And they also remind me of Jackson Pollock, but that's another story... ;)

Thanks folks!!!

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

Just acquired the highly acclaimed Ambre de Birmanie. I see now what people are so excited about...

Your writing (and the great name) are what make that ink exceptional.

Fun with gold inks with gold lustre dust added. A drawing based on a Mabie Todd ad from the 1920s.

Sadly I only use such colours to mix with as I find them really difficult to read. :unsure:

 

http://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_noodlers_apache_sunset_swatch.jpg

 

NOODLER'S APACHE SUNSET - Incredible shading properties.

 

http://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_rk_helianthus_swatch.jpg

 

ROHRER & KLINGNER HELIANTHUS - A lovely bright warm yellow. A few drops or 0.5ml will add tons of warmth to an otherwise "dull" mix.

I'm loving this ink.

Great artwork and I love the colors. I'm too intimidated by the sketches to attempt to post anything!

Remember most of us can't draw like Tas and Halloween. I can barely make the little pacman ghosts.

I like this ink a lot. But I found it just a touch too light, so I added just a touch of Diamine pumpkin, and now it's a gorgeous, richer EGG YOLK color! I'll post a photo tomorrow...

      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
