Alt-Goldgrun Staining?

Recommended Posts

So I filled this pen with Alt-goldgrun and now it's slightly pink? Is this typical. I can't find anything online about this ink staining much less staining is this color. Does anyone have any insight?

That's a pen? :unsure: :lol: Funky! It looks kinda like one of those compact fluorescent tubes.

 

There are a couple threads about "cleaning inks" - inks where if you use them, they clean out old stains. The first link appears to involve an attempt with Noodler's Rattler Red Eel and another of Sailor Doyou:

The second involves vintage ink you'd have to look for on eBay or similar:

Yeah. It's an Additive Pens Double Helix. They're 3D printed. Also, cool I shall look into the cleaning inks. They might help since I can't just scrub this pen clean.

Neat! Good luck with the cleaning. Others have also recommended diluted bleach (you'll see that in one of those threads). If you can detach the section from that pen, and as long as there's no reason to worry about bleach harming the material, that might be faster / easier - but having never tried it, I'd do my research before trying it - the inks seem safer. (Though I've never tried the inks either - no need as yet - Sei-Boku has stained a converter, but that pen and I like Sei-Boku, so I'm not seeing it as a problem. :) )

I have looked at that double helix pen. Way cool. Yes, either of the inks will work great. Use a vintage Sheaffer ink (ink well bottles) (my favorite for cleaning is the Blue Black), a Noodler's eel ink, or Sailor Do You. One or two fills and the stain will probably be gone.

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

Are you sure that is a *pen*? I've never see a *pen* that covers the width of a table top.

It's all a matter of perspective. B)

3-D printed resins are different from what is used in other fountain pens so it is possible that they may stain differently (more so or less so) with a given ink.

      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
