My Ivenue Icy which I stick into the pen sleeve of my EDC journal ; an A6 Filofax ; inked with Diamine Evergreen. Now I had to clean it and figure what the next fill should I put in there . Might be brown or purple this time

Waterman 0552, except that this is another one. It seems not quite as smooth as I recall the first, possibly owing to a different ink. In this case it was Diamine Green-Black.

I had just finished extensive notes around disassembling and reassembling a Macbook Pro when my Onoto 5601 ran out of Diamine Monaco Red. The pen looks a little nondescript but the 3/ST nib writes as well as one could ever wish for, and the pen was well behaved from inking to finish.

Just finished an MB149 (stubbed) that ran on R&K Königsblau and my Lamy Al-star 1.5 that ran out of Diamine Chocolate brown.

Today it was a vintage Parker Parkette, retrofitted with the very lovely flexy 14C music nib and feed harvested from a no-name lever filler. Ink was vintage Quink Permanent Royal Blue, and I'm thinking of just refilling the pen with more, because it looks more like a non-teal blue black than what I think of as being "royal blue".

Yesterday I refilled my Pelikan 140 (F) with Pelikan 4001 Blue Black, the Platinum 3776 Century Borgogne ( B) with Diamine Merlot and brought into rotation a Parker 45 Flighter with M nib - filled with Levenger Pomegranate and a Pilot Metropolitan (M) with KWZI Brown #4.

 

I also flushed four pens - a Jinhao 599 with M stub nib, gray Esterbrook J (Venus Fine), Noodler's Konrad ( B) and the Guider Capsule ( B) with Levenger Amethyst, Akkerman Voorhout Violet, Robert Oster Astorquiza Rot and Edelstein Olivine respectively.

 

All that brings me back to 10 inked.

 

Parker 51 Special - Diamine Ancient Copper

Parker 51 Demi Vacumatic - Waterman Serenity Blue

Pelikan M400 White Tortoise - B - Robert Oster Astorquiza Olive

Pelikan M200 Blue Marbled OB - Lamy Pacific

Pelikan M200 Cognac F - Lamy Petrol

Pelikan M200 Brown Marbled M - Edelstein Aventurine

 

Amazing. I just realized all ten are P named brands......

S T Dupont neo-classique, this one the Cheval of which 888 were manufactured in the usual marketing ploy for the Chinese diaspora or wealthier home market. It is a beautiful pen though, black lacquer with gold [leaf? lacquer?] and the usual S T Dupont quality. Pelikan Violett sufficed.

I emptied my Pelikan 140 and flushed it. I am still looking for the right ink for this pen, and Birmingham Boiler Steam Blue Black, albeit smooth and wet, just wasn't the one.

 

I have ordered Sailor Kobe Taisanji Yellow to try next.

Today I cleaned and filled up my 1997 Omas Return To The Motherland: Hong Kong

 

Wish I was still in college so I could write with it constantly. Anyone else ever feel that way?

Ranga Model 4 Aqua Cracked Ice finally got down to the last viscous drop of Colorverse Map of Mars. I could maybe have done another page of Sudokus, but with the ink clinging to the converter decided to flush it...

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
