So long as you are having fun.

I need more flex pens cuz these 2 reds... Uhhhhggg i cant use them really, just like the orange sample and the purples i have. 90% of me whipping out a pen is for business or legal so i HAVE to use blue/black... So i make up for it with flex lol im TRYING to start a bujo but then it ends up black/blue cuz i only have one flex nib pen... I knew where this was going the moment i HEARD about fountain pens with flex nibs... "Oooooh this is gunna get expensive fast" LOL

DMACT, as an attorney all of my inks are for business or legal. I use a lot of bright colors.

 

Don't forget you can also add a dash of back to the color to darken it. Only mix is small batches.

Our court here is very... Gripey... about almost anything. They accept my blue signatures but i get an earful everytime. Never write an inmate with a fountain pen... I thought it would be a good excuse to use them? Even the most rigurously bulletproof inks have had SOME level of bleeding if they get wet... Prisons will reject even microscopic bleed (or even if the envelope discolors because it got wet in the mail). Lol you're super lucky to get to use such freedom with your inks, mine all lavish in the dark recesses of my bujo :(

When have to write to prisoners I make sure to use the laser printer (not the inkjet) and I use Noodler's Luxury Blue. It shows in UV and does not move with water.

Eh now? Really... Luxury blue you say? I shall have to give that a test. Our local sytem is even worse than the federal prisons, they will just randomly deny inmates letters for X excuse. One letter i sent the inmate said the guards confiscated it for being written in pencil, it was baystate blue. One they said i used marker, it was baystate blue. One they said wasnt written in blk/blue, it was... Wait for it... Bay...state... Blue. I gave up and only mail them stuff if its absolutely impossible to do through the inmate email system, cheaper anyway

If I were in the US, I'd take you up on that. I do like those dark, almost nondescript navy blues. But to get it, via mail, all the way out here, naaah... not worth both our trouble. Thanks for offering though. I did notice you did not restrict to the US, which I much appreciate.

I am late with my review! Thank you, Amberleadavis, for this very fun PIF!

 

Here it is my surprise ink: Gamma Raduga-2 Red:

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

Thank you for the offer, but I'm taking a break for a little while.

      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
