Nice. Moving house (and states) in a month so this will unfortunately have to wait for a couple of months. Looking forward to the reviews.

 

P.S As someone who is thoroughly enjoying Diamine Ancient Copper atm, I am keen on seeing what Uluru Red is like....

As someone who also thoroughly enjoys Ancient Copper, I'll try and get a comparison up online when I get a chance. Unfortunately (or fortunately, as the case may be!) I'm also moving within the next month - but only within the same suburb. May slow things down a bit on the ink reviews, though...

Here's a camera photo of Uluru Red, alongside some of my other dark red inks:

So the Diamine Ancient Copper ink is darker than the Noodler's Red/Black?

On a sacred quest for the perfect blue ink mixture!

Cheers. I would have thought Uluru red would be a lot brighter red from the just write website. It is an interesting color. A mix between Iro Momji and darker red.

It may depend a little on the pens you use, but I think these two (a Diplomat Aero 'M' and a TWSBI 580 'B') are similarly wet. But yes, it does look like the Ancient copper is just a little more saturated!

Nice, I didn't know about this range! I'm curious about the blues :)

 

Here's a quick snapshot - sorry I don't have a swab of Visconti Blue for comparison, I packed it! (Moving home on Monday...)

The lighting's not the best, but I think it captures the colours *reasonably* well.

 

Barrier Reef Blue is more of a turquoise colour - in a wet pen, and on a less absorbent paper (I packed my Tomoe River!), it will sheen a little at the edges (reddish).

 

Sydney Harbour Blue, in my pen, is more of a blue-green than a blue-grey (as suggested by the website) - but I think that makes it *more* rather than *less* like the Sydney Harbour itself!

 

Will try and post some reviews once my desk is reassembled in the new house...

      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
