This week, pick a waterproof or (the most) water-resistant ink you have. Show us how it reacts with water as well!

 

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.

Next week: It’s Not That I Don’t Love You

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

...how the camera can make Sei Boku look mostly correct and the cream Rhodia Premium paper look gray, I have no idea. :(

 

ETA: Sorry, missed the "with water" instructions :blush: but oddly, the water made the color of the paper show better... :huh:

After the experiment below, I know this ink is water-resistant, but not waterproof (as noted on my challenge).

When I first turned the garden hose on the page, some black ink pooled then washed away. The second image shows a saturated, but very readable page.

Another day, I'll repeat this with a longer dry time and different papers for my curiosity.

I work in a kitchen, and like to use inks that don't run at all when wet. I only have 3 of those at the moment, De Atramentis Document Fog Grey and Fuchsia, and R&K Dokumentus Magenta (ok, I'm doing this from memory, and have had a glass of wine and am old, so forgive me if these names are a bit wrong, they sound about right though). I have a few other partly-waterproof inks (IG, Noodlers) but they all lose some of their pigment.

 

OK, I have just finished a fill of the Fuchsia, so I've gone with Fog Grey.

 

 

It's a pretty colour, quite blue.

This is after a soak in a bowl of water. No colour loss at all.

And just for fun, here it is after a rubdown with some bleach. The colour has certainly faded, but still very clear.

It's not a wildly exciting colour, but the waterproofocity is superb.

Lower left smudge was before water testing while the ink was still wet. I ran under the tap. Paper is a A5 This is for pad and my Jinhao 599 M stub for the pen.

I'll post later this week: I just learned about two inks in my arsenal that I did not even know are water resistant: 54th Massachusetts and X Feather, both of which I have partially full bottles of... so for me, this thread will teach me about a trait I never cared much enough about in an ink, but is nice to know...

I think I may have to add X-feather to the wishlist. I have resisted so far as I rarely use black ink, but it looks a handy one to have.

Ha!

 

It is on "the list" as a replacement to Blue Upon The Plains of Abraham which I poured/scooped down the drain -_-

I can send you a large sample! It's not my kind of colour after all.

 

 

Ooo, yes please :wub:

 

. . . I've still got a sketch or two to send your way - I'd forgotten but I've just remembered :blush:

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      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
