Thanks for the link.

A precision: most popular SIS in Japan.

Westerners prefer more saturated inks.

123 162 243 for me. But i have tried them all (maybe 40 or so), yet.

Interesting. My favorites are 123, 237, 241, 573, 673, and 941. 970 too but wish it were a deeper green. Really the whole line is excellent.

The inks don't look as saturated as the previous inks.

Am I correct?

 

Partially yes.

The higher the number the more the saturation and sheen.

The lower the more pastel and shading. With many notable exceptions.

Some are innovative and polychromic like the 123, 162, 150, etc...

After seeing more and more reviews of these inks, I've found several inks appealing (to me). But realistically, having a number of difficult-to-obtain inks from Japan I always end up feeling that there isn't something that I must have.

Nice one, thank you for sharing Mech-for-i

I love 125, 162 and 173... I thought I was special :lol: These ones are really special, unique inks

I normally like bright, saturated teals, so I got myself some 464 and 764. I wasn't impressed. Not that they are bad inks or colours; just nothing special (or: nothing you can't get easier and cheaper elsewhere). I'm thinking to use them for mixes actually

 

I may try 237?

      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
