Week #6 / 5 Feb: Go Large - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[lgsoltek]

For Week #6 we are going for our largest bottle: choose the largest bottle from your collection. If you have several, maybe all of them?

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

Click here to read more about this community project. Links to the two previous links can be found there too.

For Week #7 we are writing love letters: Choose an ink you’ll use to write love letters.

Yup, Akkerman's from me. Same size (volume) as the Noodler's Nikita, which I used for Red packets week. I have two Writing Desk 100ml bottles of Diamine inks, but this pips those at 120ml. Anyone with a litre of Pelikan 4001?

I knew there'd be a lot of Akkermans! I don't have them (none of the new ones, and the old ones aren't with me).

I have 12 120ml Akkerman inks but no camera.

A shame Smartphone will do as well.

"Large" is relative. I thought at first I'd be choosing amongst Akkerman bottles as well -- but I realized that I don't have any of the old super-large bottles: the ones I have are the 60 ml bottles.... So, capacity-wise they are smaller than the Diamine bottles!

The two *really big bottles of ink I had got decanted into smaller bottles a year ago Christmas, and the empties got given away to the guy who keeps the mailing list for my local pen club. But I think *some* of the ink from those two bottles got decanted into 4 oz Boston rounds. And I checked a cool website for converting measurements of various sorts and 4 oz. is the equivalent to just over 118 ml....

I love the sheen image. Are there any other blues out there with golden sheen? I've only seen red.

Oh no. I thought it would be an Akkerman bottle for me, but it is one of the powdered inks. I'll in up soon. Really.

One of four I have in this size - 90 ml (Noodler's)

After some time with no brown inks in any pen I may have rediscovered at least one!

Although I have two other large bottles and they have blue ink in them... one is my complete supply of powder-mixed Thistle, the other a mix of blues, blue blacks, and blacks - a random, unrepeatable mix, but happily a big bottle so while I won't be able to make it again (the recipe was truly random) I have enough to last me years.

I'm waiting for some entry from our indian friends who have Daytone 1000 ml bottles

[dcwaites]

I don't have a 1 litre Daytone bottle, but perhaps these will do...

 

 

 

As usual, click on the scan of the writing for a larger, and hopefully more legible, image.

I can't remember anything else... I'm sure there is, but I can't think of one now.

Let's give this a go.

An appropriate quote for my largest bottle of ink and for the hue that represents 90 percent of my ink purchases:

My lettering is pretty bad on this one, but I was, as usual, too lazy to do it over.
