Just for fun, I looked at Lgsoltek's review of Hachimitsu Honey, which shades heavily. (Thanks to musicman123 for suggesting the use of the Mac Digital ColorMeter.) The saturated portion has a hex code of FB4309, while the lighter shaded portion has a hex code of FB9CoA. I wonder if there is a way to achieve this sort of shading ink with the Tekker system.

I agree, it would be neat if you could somehow customize the amount of shading -- or even just know how much shading potential there is. Based on the video it looks like some of the inks shade quite nicely.

Upcoming (but not yet implemented) functionalities: ability to add mica glitter, customizable wetness. The international shipping thing is very interesting, though -- I'll have to look into that.

 

If y'all are having any problems with finding a cool hex code, colourlovers.com and color.adobe.com are great resources.

 

How about Pantone colors?

ETA: The reason I ask is because I'm more familiar with those than with with the hex codes. Although I'm glad to know about that Digital Color Meter app....

Make sure your Mac's digital color meter is set to 'sRGB', as other modes are not precisely calibrated to match what you see on the screen.

Pantone colors work: you can find a color like so, http://www.pantone.com/color-finder/2098-C, and then copy the "HEX/HTML 4A25AA" 6 digit hex code into the color picker.

Thanks! That site is definitely getting bookmarked.... :thumbup:

You are dealing here with adults whose attitude towards new inks closely matches that of kiddies at a birthday party lining up for cupcakes.

Great good news. As you can see I am following your experiences with keen interest, while I am waiting for my inks to arrive...

Your teal reminds me very much of Diamine steel blue BTW.

I've often talked with friends about how some of my favorite Crayola colors have been retired over the years, and how I wished I could get ink in those long-lost colors. Methinks I shall have to go see if I can find some good samples of them. I found some hex codes on Wikipedia, but they seem off to me; I wonder if I have an ancient crayon box kicking around anywhere, such that I can scribble a swatch with the real thing and then scan it...

I love the yellow and orange. Can you share the hex codes so it can be ordered?

Going through a 3 party in Japan, it isn't discontinued even though technically it is. They contact Sailor, after a 2-4 week delay Sailor ships to them, they ship to you. That's how I got mine.

Your description is far too restrained.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

      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
