What Ink Have You Ordered? - 2018

[alanshutko]

I just received an Irushizuku set, where I learned that Kon-peki and Edelstein Topaz are nearly indistinguishable on the various paper I have, except that Kon-peki is wetter. The Kon-peki is NOT a good ink for a wet-writing Pelikan on absorbent paper. But I look forward to putting it in a less gushing pen.

 

On the way is a Massdrop full of Edelstein ink: Topaz, Aventurine, and Jade.

Well, I tried the R&K SketchINKS and find several of them are the same as Super 5 inks I already have (they are also waterproof and, I now realise, are also made by R&K).

 

SketchINK Jules is the same as Super5 Australia

SketchINK Emma is the the same as Super5 Dublin

 

Not happy.

I got Emma, Frieda, and Lilly, but haven't had a chance to try them yet. I never had a chance to try the Super 5 inks.

Diamine Oxford Blue

I was surprised the bottle has changed

it's still glass, it's still 80 ml, but I admit I liked the previous version more (especially the cap).

That's interesting to know -- I have a sample of Kon-peki but haven't had a chance to try it (had considered inaugurating the Decimo with that, but it's only a 2 ml sample and I was afraid I wasn't going to be able -- even tilting the vial -- to get that long skinny VP/Decimo nib fully immersed in that small an amount of liquid to cover the breather hole in the feed).

I have noticed that Edelstein Topaz is almost identical-looking on the page to Diamine Havasu Turquoise and Akkerman Tréves-Turquoise.

There was a thread a while back about the new Diamine bottles. I think a lot of us felt like you did about the change.

OTOH, it doesn't change the contents -- I LOVE Oxford Blue!

I already have enough ink for 4 lifetimes, and enough black ink for 3 lifetimes, but I just ordered some Sailor Kiwa-Guro. This is my first bottle of Sailor ink, I am looking forward to giving it a try.

[The Real Yossarian]

I just purchased Colorverse 13 & 14, along with the KWZ's Warsaw Dreamin, Walks over Vistula, and Baltic Memories. USPS says they should be here on Tuesday.

Atsu finally got to me again. Three of the new Kingdom Notes are on the way: Blue Violet, Deep Purple Violet, and Aonibi Blue Grey.

Just got my Organic Studios Nitrogen, a dark blue with a mettalicred sheen. It works very well in my Eco medium nib. I may put it in my Nemosine .8 when it next runs out (it runs out a lot, I use that pen often)

[chromantic]

I tried mine last Thursday for the first time, what an amazing ink! So impressed I tried to order another bottle but Pen Chalet is out.

 

Tried Vanness and they have it so I ordered two, just in case OS goes on hiatus again.

Just placed the birthday order(s)....

 

Iroshizuku kon peki for a great price at Target. Shipped to my local store. Had to pay sales tax, but no shipping. Out the door @ $16.87 ($15.79+1.08 tax)

Massdrop has a KWZI standard ink drop 3 bottles for $29.99. I ordered El Dorado, Pine Green and Brown #4

 

Oh and notebook and paper from Goulet. Can't leave them out.

First ink purchases this year for me, I ordered a bottle of Sailor Rikyu-Cha and Kin-Mokusei today. Love these two, so I "needed" backup bottles.

 

Now I'm just hoping it won't be freezing when they're delivered

[chromantic]

​Today, I finally got around to ordering some KWZ inks from Vanness - bottles of Honey and Red and samples of El Dorado, Grey Plum, Green #3 and #5. I also threw in a bottle of Krishna Banana Yellow that kfoss reviewed.

Let me know how you like El Dorado when it arrives. I have a full bottle coming, based on a Massdrop swab. (and Pine Green and Brown #4) The closest color I currently have to it is Apache Sunset. And that is a LOT more orange.

Thats why I prohibited myself to buy another ink bottle:

 

This is the list on inks that I already bought and still didnt arrived:

 

[sidthecat]

A bottle of Edelstein Smoky Quartz arrived the other day, which is weird because I didn’t order it because I wasn’t going to fall in love with another limited-release ink. But it is an awfully nice ink.

[yongsheng]

Just purchased two limited release of nagasawa kobe, the Van Gogh blue and Cosmo blue.

Thank you Ruth, I like it too, it is my first time trying it, but I love how it's dark.

 

Since purchase, I also got a bottle of Diamine Midnight.

 

I am touring dark blues at the moment...

Of my Noodler's (Apache Sunset, 54th Massachusetts, Blue Eel, Black) I have used more of the Apache Sunset than the other three combined. And that is the order I use them most to least.
