PW Akkerman shop has big offer of products. But so have other shops. None of them though has ink ink in such a cool bottles:

Akkerman ink is PW Akkerman private label ink that can be bought in 30 colors:

While it's never been officially confirmed some people (me included) believe Akkerman is actually repacked Diamine ink. There's no shame in it, guys. Just admit it ;)

Anyway a sample of Zuiderpark Blauw-Groen was sent to me by fellow FPN-er. Thanks mate.

The color is rather similar to Diamine Teal. The ink behaves very well. It doesn't cause any feathering - even on Moleskine and 95 % of inks feather on my Moleskine calendar from 2015. It's the crappiest paper ever made. The flow is very good and the ink feels well lubricated. It has no useful water resistance. Some shading is present even when the ink is used in finer nibs.

Thank you for the comprehensive review of one of my favorite inks. I own both Diamine teal and Akkerman no. 24, and have trouble distinguishing between them. This isn't a mint color, which we know you hate, but I was hoping for the usual final Visvamitra judgment on the shade! Agree or disagree, you never pull punches!

I have this ink and love it. The first two graph paper photos you have, resembles my ink more. Some of your writing samples are a little more green. (maybe it is my monitor) This ink performs well in a fine nib on up for me. I haven't had any issues with it. I found this ink has very good shading, and that really appeals to me too.

Definitely NOT a color for me. But as always, thanks for the review.

Seeing inks I don't want is better for my budget.....

Dear Lgsoltek, thank you so much for this review, up till know I had no opportunity to test Akkerman inks... and teal is not my colour... in German I would say Lodengrün. But the splash test is interesting and when it is very dark it becomes more attractive to me.

Dear NP, this time, the reviewer is Visvamitra, but LG is awesome too. :wub:

 

Vis - another wonderful review. Thank you.

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
