Speedry Magic Color: Rust


fiberdrunk

Recommended Posts

I love Magic Color inks and have been using them for years. This was always the permanent ink I used before I discovered Noodler's bulletproof inks. This ink is made in England. The only place that seems to carry it in the U.S. is Paper & Ink Arts (you'll have to type "magic color" into their search engine to bring it up). Here's a link to my review.

 

If you want to read more about this ink and see a scan of the colors available, go to this thread.

 

Since this is a pigmented, acrylic, shellac-free ink, some have expressed concerns on whether it would ruin a fountain pen. I have used this ink for years in my Rotring Artpens, and recently started using it in a cheap Platinum Preppy as well. I don't know if it would ruin a more expensive pen. My Rotrings are holding up fine. My own water and sunshine tests have proved these inks are very lightfast and waterproof. I've never done a bleach test on them. They are also acid-free.

Here's the review here on FPN, so you don't have to click elsewhere to see it. This is one of my favorite inks. It's similar to Diamine Ancient Copper, only more fadeproof and waterproof.

Thank you for your review of Magic Color Speedry "Rust" and samples of Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown and Noodler's Scott Brown #4. I enjoy the Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown best of the three samples you have thoughtfully provided us. I have written the name of that one down for a possible future purchase. To me, it has a naturey feel to it that I like. Nearer to the Magic Color Speedy "Rust", I like J. Herbin's Rouille D'Ancre (Rusty Anchor) that's different enough to tantalize me, and on the spectrum of browns, I'll mention my enjoyment of J. Herbin's Lie de The, a color of tea in water.

Thanks for the review :thumbup: . I didn´t know about this ink and it seems a pretty orange :drool:

 

It looks a lot like Diamine Ancient Copper. Very close.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
