Misc Samples Pif #3


Scootz

Recommended Posts

Eleven samples, mostly of colors that just didn't work for me (the count could increase after another review of my sample pile). Included are:

 

De Atramentis Magenta Violet. The exception to the rule - I love it, and bought a bottle.

Diamine China Blue, Royal Blue, Sepia

Noodler's Burma Road Brown

Pelikan Edelstein Garnet

Platinum Earth Brown, Leaf Green

Private Reserve Buttercup, Ebony Brown

Sheaffer Red

 

The observant will have noticed I don't use brown inks, and belonged to Goulet's ink drop. Open to all, post a reply and I'll pick a winner Friday and try and mail Saturday.

I haven't tried any of those inks, but they look nice at a glance.

If anybody wants to buy a FPR triveni, a waterman's crusader with a modified barrel, or faber castell pitt brush pens I have one just for you!

      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
