My first ink mix


Onion

Recommended Posts

Tonight I did my first mixture of inks. I wanted a green ink but I figured I would never use a bottle. So.. I mixed 4 parts Private reserve Daphne Blue with one part of Noodlers Kiowa Pecan and I got a very nice green ink. I did add a touch more Dapne Blue and it was just what I wanted. Green Onion

Anyone have any other mixtures for a nice green?

 

 

I also did a mix with:

4 parts PR Daphne Blue

1 part Noodlers Kiowa Pecan

4 parts Noodlers firefly

 

more of a bright green moss look with hint of yellow.

Two greens from member Onion:

 

Green Onion: four parts PR Daphne Blue to one part Noodler's Kiowa Pecan, and maybe a little more Daphne Blue if needed.

(Moderator's suggestion: if mixing a small amount by eyedropper or disposable pipette for testing first, multiply by four so that if you add more Daphne Blue you can measure how much more you added.)

 

Bright Moss Green with a hint of yellow: Green Onion (without the extra Daphne Blue) plus four parts Noodler's Firefly.

      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
