J85909266 Extremely Rare

I've been using this ink for journals, notes, work tracking sheets, lists, art, whatever for about four months. I'm about one fifth through my bottle. I've used it in a variety of pens with no issues other than nib creep. I like it a lot. I have a tiny written review to share. Later, I will post some art.

Thanks for posting... I agree that it's a cracking ink but the nib creep it created in all my lamys became a bit of a nightmare so it stopped becoming a daily ink for me. It's more of a special purpose ink where I need to have something bulletproof in my pen.

Favourite Owned Pen - Lamy Studio, Brushed Steel with either a 1.1mm italic or Black F nib

Favourite Inks - Diamine Imperial Purple, Diamine Sargasso Sea, Noodlers Bad Blue Heron, Sheaffer Skrip Red

"Planned" (!) Purchases - TWSBI Diamond 580 AL, Waterman Expert Deluxe Blue, Esterbrook J, Sheaffer Prelude, Pilot Capless / Vanishing Point, Pilot Falcon

I wonder if this is a common trait for bulletproof inks? I only have one (54th MA) and have considerable nib creep as well.

It may be.

 

Nib creep is also worse on pens with engravings on top.

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

Yeah, I've noticed the fancy Jinhoao nibs (like on the X450) are a real pain to clean off. The silver quite likes to be stained by blue ink and it takes some pressure from a syringe to get it off.

Thanks for that review. Nice ink. I use a lot of Noodler's Navy and this one is a little murkier and perhaps a little blacker. Excellent blue/black

      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
