I've been using the ink for a couple of dyas now and I really, really like it a lot! It behaves perfectly in my AL-star.

 

The color is very nice and the shading is everywhere. Even with a fine nib :) I also quite often get the redish sheen from my fine nib. :D

 

I wrote in the contact book for school of my 6 year-old daughter and asked her if she liked the color. "Yeah! Turquoise!" she replied. :wub:

I don't know if I would call it turquoise, but it sure is teal.

 

Unfortunately, I think this ink is too green for me to use at work. :unsure: But I will sure use it in other pens.

This is one of my all time favorite inks.

 

I figure if I find a Sailor ink I love, I should stock up just in case (looking at you Gernade and Apricot).

At first, I could not understand all of folks raving about Yama Dori ink! Recently, I filled a broad italic nib pen with this ink, and now I really love it. BUT, BUT I STILL have NOT seen ---- with this ink or any other ink ---- what most of you seem to be calling "sheen." It is a really nice ink, and I really like it, --- sheen or no sheen!

 

Sorry, but I guess my eyes are "sheenless!"

Yes, paper plays a huge part on sheening ink I believe.

There is an awesome online review comparing sheening capabilities of fountain pen friendly papers.

      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
