Sailor Jentle Ink Line (2016) Comparison

[Erik Dalton]

Lotus, I feel very much the same about backups. The one ink that I do shop for price and keep a fairly large back up(3-4 bottles) is sailor inks. I'm still stinging over the way they pulled Ultramarine out of the market, and never replaced it.

The other ink I back up is DeAtramentis. It was tough to get in the beginning , but much more available now.

Waka-Uguisu and Rikyu-Cha look interesting.

Thank you for the review. Vis, whenever you want to send me pages, I am happy to receive them. They will eventually end up in fade reviews.

I am digging this thread out as I only recently completed the seasons' inks collection at home. The second series became available in Europe in May 2017, and until them shipping cost were prohibitive.

 

All in all, i much prefered the previous inks, and after i tested Irori, i seriously considered skipping the likes of Yuki Akari... but i am so in love with this product line that I followed my heart rather than brain.

 

I write with fountain pens a fair bit at work, and most people find that weird to start with, so ink color is but another eccentricity i can afford. Thus, i am going around this week with Yuki Akari and Kin Mokusei in two Conid pens. I must confess i almost cleaned the pens after the first day, but i did persevere and got to like both colors. They will never reach the Oku Yama or Yama Dori love level, but they have their place for bright and ligyt days. The paper and the en do make a huge difference too.

 

I would be sad to see either of the product line disappear, but i am not the back up kind (work is all about back ups, so in life, no safety net is my moto), so i will trust Sailor does the right thing... against reason
