I'd long been looking for a yellowish ink, and had Ambre de Birmanie in my sights, but eventually tried Inti. I'm liking it, but unfortunately cultural acclimatization means the first thing I thought when I got it was... Baby food.

 

It took me a few attempts to get the tone right, it does look a lot like Lgsoltek's review.

Superb. Nice way to compare. One colour, not with a row of other, similar colours, but with three rows of completely dissimilar colours.

I forgot to add: this is on Rhodia n. 8 pad.

Great comparison! This is a very novel way to show color comparisons. Well done!

 

I love most of the Callifolio inks that I have tried. Inti, though, is not one of my favorites. I found it to be quite dry. But, then again, my opinion of the color may have influenced my overall conclusion.

Thank you! It's probably an acquired taste... After my initial semi negative reaction (chicken carrot baby food :sick: ??), it started growing on me, and is currently passing my main test: it makes me want to write more. To my eyes it also gets along with all my other inks. It probably doesn't hurt that I'm using it with my new (to me) m205, which is just stunning :rolleyes: ...

Cool :)

 

Coming from the master, it's quite a compliment!

Running commentary as I use it more: it seems decently wet, so it might be a question of the pen and paper? In this case, said m205 with a steel fine nib and so far Rhodia and Clairefontaine pads/notebooks. I'm getting quite a bit of shading.

I think it's good looking baby food.

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

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I swapped Inti onto a Muji aluminium pen, but it was coming out murkier, probably because Myosotis occupied that pen for a while. After disassembly (which is very easy, the feed just pulls out), cleaning and drying, it's coming out in a lighter colour, less like baby food and more yellow, which I quite like; it's still easily legible.

While I'd come to expect wetter pens to turn inks darker, it was the opposite here. I was watching a documentary called River Elegy, which partially uses a metaphor of China and the Yellow River, which was quite à propos.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
