blueiris Extremely Rare

Stipula Verde Muschiato ink arrived to me this week. It varies from the color of a green olive to a dark olive, shadowy color. I have only tested it with a Pelikan 140 and with a steel dip pen. Shading is evident with a flex nib, and I've had no issues with poor starting. It dries neither quickly nor especially slowly. The nib feels decently lubricated, too.

 

I wrote two samples, both with the same pen. The first is when writing for a lot of flex, and the second is when I was writing with a light touch. Apologies for the poor handwriting and blathering text--I was mainly doodling for myself when I did these. The paper is HP 32lb laserjet paper (uncoated).

 

I hope someone finds this to be useful!

 

Edited to add a new scan, this time written with a Leonardt EF Principal dip nib and a Speedball B-6 dip nib.

Thanks for the scans, blueiris. This is a great colour -- just what I've always wanted Herbin Vert Olive to look like, in fact. All I need to do now is find somewhere in the UK that sells Stipula inks...

Thanks for the review! The color reminds me of Noodlers El Lawrence.

One of my favorites as well... A very late thank you to blueiris for the review! :)

Talking about fountain pens is like dancing about architecture.

Hmmmm. On first sight of these scans I was hooked - especially with the comments about flow and behavior. Seems I've read a lot about the thickness of the Noodler's version, which steers me clear. But even at that, it seems Pendemonium has always been out of stock when I've tried to order. So! Perhaps a dabble in Muchiato.... I have Stipula's Sepia and like it a lot (wish it were a bit deeper, but a minor quibble).

 

Off to the web I go!

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
