A Profound Idea...evolving The Ugliest Ink Ever

[amberleadavis]

Of course, the final product complies with the rules of appellate procedure, which in Alabama call for courier font. I'm surprised if you don't handwrite briefs. If you don't, then I think you should try because I've seen an obviously creative quality in your posts that I think would *appeal* to appellate judges.

 

 

You are too kind!

Fascinating thread. Hmmm, the ugliest ink color. . . I am a vibrant color person myself, but absolutely detest insipid yellowy-greyish brown colors - those that look like diarrhea. Yuck! J. Herbin's Lie de The and De Atramentis Maron fit into this category. I also don't like watery, shadeless inks, like De Atramentis Lily of the Valley, or J. Herbin's Bouquet d'Antan (if you are going to do pink, do PINK!) or Pilot Iroshizuku Ina-Ho (what were they thinking?).

OK, you let your feelings out, DrDebG! Right you are! I understand the gentle colors for gentle people, but baby-poop inks are just not acceptable.

 

The only "subtle" colored ink that I like is a true Victorian mauve --it seems to work for me since it's an authentic color from a historical period.

 

Aren't inks FUN?!

Personally I didn't need to mix it. Parker made for me: Quink Black. After a few day or week the black is disappear and what's remain is pale yellow-gray colored mess...
