Does anyone remember the grape Popsicles that we use to get as kids? The ones with two sticks that you could break in half are the ones I am talking about. As soon as I put this ink to paper, I was brought back to simpler days where the only thing that mattered to me was trying not get melted Popsicle all over my shirt (and I was never very successful). Grape was always one of my favorite flavors, and this is one of my favorite inks. The dusty purple brings me back every time I write with it, and it just makes me happy. If I were to come at this from a purely FP related viewpoint then I would say it could use a little more saturation, but with that it would ruin the reminiscent vibe that I love so much. I am happy with all qualities of the ink, and I would implore you to give it a try. Again the price for these Kaweco inks is going to be around 46₵ a ml. On to the pictures!

Whatever the shortcomings of the ink they pale in significance to its ability to trigger fond memories for you

Whether anyone else likes or dislikes it we'll all have to go scratch and do our own reviews

Personally, I like it because it's not so supersaturated. Thanks for the review

 

BTW. I was only 50% successful in breaking the Popsicle into two separate equal pieces to share. Sometimes I had one stick with nothing and one stick with both tubes of the Popsicle. Thanks for reviving some forgotten memories

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
