A MUCH better behaved ink than Tahitian Pearl (to which it is very similar), in every way: more waterproof, denser, no creep (as opposed to TP - worst I have seen)....

File in the To Each His Own folder: Tahitian Pearl is one of my favorite inks. I gave my bottle of Aircorps Blue-Black away -- it made me ill to look at.

Why so? ABB is one of my two signature inks (Visconti Blue is the other).

Thanks for the review. This is one of my favorite inks. I've been writing my checks with it for over four years. I just love the "official" look of the color, and it's been exceptionally well behaved. I've never rinsed out the pen, a Pelikan 150, since I first loaded it with ACBB. I just refill it when it gets low (or when I discover that the reason the pen won't write is because it's out of ink), and off I go.

 

(Note: Do not do this to your pens. It's a very bad way to treat them, and only a complete moron would do this.)

Mmm. Just didn't like the color.

Been "A "B"ing this ink and Zhivago for the past week or so; in all honesty, I don't see a dime's worth of difference between them. And this through a Pelikan "F" nib, a Pelikan "M" nib and a 9mm cursive. Almost the same olive green/black, although Zhivago appears to have a bit more yellow in it.

 

Both wonderful inks, so guess I'll keep fiddling for awhile and sell one.

Soooo....Tahitian Pearl does not creep? wink.gif To each his own filed; I do actually like the color of TP a bit more, but couldn't get used to a blue nib; actually like Squeteague better than both, but awful waterproof qualities. <Sigh> still in search of the perfect....

Oh, sorry. I was being incoherent. Yes, Tahitian Pearl creeps. It seems all the ink I like creep so I've become kinda ... uh... creepy? I was trying to say that I like the color of Tahitian Pearl. And I didn't like the color of Aircorps Blue Black. But I realize it's a personal preference kind of thing.

 

There are a number of inks that I've hated and I've managed to give them away to people who really like them. It all seems to work out...

Looks like Fountain Pen Hospital's Noodler's Ellis Island blue-black, which is a sweet ink (and well behaved on paper, but a little creepy on the nib).

      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
