    Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-guri

    I participated in a blind testing on the fpgeeks forum of three ink samples. A fun thing about this endeavour is that one is free of the burden of the manufacturer, the name, the country it is made and any expectations or associations with said brand or ink. The first one was Yama-Guri, which translates to Wild / or Mountain Chestnut. It's a dark brown ink, but when you do the chroma, it is obviously a Japanese ink Writing samples: Dry time is decent and the purple is only obvious if you smudge the ink. It definitely doesn't like Hammermill 20lb paper: Photo - Paper is Mnemosyne This was done with the semi-flex pen. The red ink, is Organic Studios Oscar Copper Comparaison: Water test: (under running water for 10 seconds) And finally a sketch. A great thanks to @LizEF for giving me permission to create (hopefully) sketch of her fantastic Quin and Makhabesh serial. This is part of an ongoing creation. This is Makhabesh surprised/ horrified discovering a secret The brown ink in the background is Gutenberg Urkundentinte G10 Iron-gall ink. Makhabesh is drawn with Yama-Guri. And then washed with a brush. The scarab on his chest and the other gold lines were created by applying bleach with a glass nib. · Pens used: Lamy Safari (Ef/F/M/B), Soennecken Schulfüller (Semi-flex), Jinhao 450 fude, · What I liked: Really nice dark colour, well lubricated, classy, complex chroma, water resistance. · What I did not like: Long dry times, and it’s not easy to clean, might as well go for a permanent ink. · What some might not like: It doesn’t like cheap paper. Not for lefty over writers, or ink hoppers and price. · Shading: With broad nibs. · Ghosting: Yes, with Hammermill paper. · Bleed through: Yes, with cheap paper. · Flow Rate: Wet · Lubrication: Really nice. · Nib Dry-out: None. · Start-up: None · Saturation: Very saturated · Shading Potential: With wide nibs · Sheen: None · Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: None · Nib Creep / “Crud”: None. · Staining (pen): No · Clogging: No · Cleaning: I had to use a pen flush. · Water resistance: Very good. · Availability: 50 ml bottles. Please don't hesitate to share your experience, writing samples or any other comments. The more the merrier 🙂

    How Wet Are Waterman Inks

    As a newbie I'm not really knowledgeable about the general characteristics of various ink brands. I've heard that Irosihzuku inks are generally thought to be "wet" inks and I would agree with this based on my limited experience. How do you think Waterman inks compare with Iroshizuku inks in wetness? Are there other brands that are generally thought of as being wet or dry? I'd appreciate hearing your experience. Thanks very much.
