Your note about the Barock ink being nice to write makes me wonder why Barock doesn't export. Hmmmm.

 

Thanks for the review.

May you have pens you enjoy, with plenty of paper and ink. :)

Looks very close to Sheaffer Scrip Green... perhaps a little brighter.

I was wondering that, and will soon compare some Skrip green to this review on my monitor.

If it was sold in the USA I would have to get it just because of the name.

I am a huge Dresden Files fan.

Greetings all,

 

That is a great color- reminds me of the New York Central Railroad's Jade Green from the '50s and '60s. Can you get it from an online dealer in Europe that ships to the States?

 

All the best,

 

Sean :)

Interesting color reminds MB of MB Emerald Green

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Nov 8, 2023. Just seen on German TV.

Best news is some 6-8 of their inks are on sale at a local grocery store. for €12.95.

 

The original company was started in @ 1876 ('36? Wasn't paying attention.), when coal tar dyes came in for a permanent ink. It was once a great big huge company....Big BAROQUE sign as one came into Dresden and left. Huge buildings.

 

Baroque was a Dresden ink, that got nationalized and was about the only ink in East Germany, and typewriter ribbons and early East zone computer printer inks. .....

When the Wall fell and the W. German government  sold for 1 DM, any company that could be dangerous to any W. Germany company....7-8,000 hour life time light bulbs....vs 2,000 hour die fast Western world light bulbs and so many other factories.

 

Baroque inks were shut down three times....the original recipes rest somewhere else....but a couple men, one retired man is keeping the old machines running. The other is filling ink bottles one at a time, by putting the tops on and sticking a label on it...as a brand new start up.

I'll have to look it up, an see what inks he's making.

It seems like "Barock", after the last time they shut down, which was 2011, sort of morphed into Octopus Inks. And now Octopus Inks are restoring the Barock brand.

      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
