About time someone put up another review, yes?

 

So here we are, complete with obligatory doodling. Color looks right on my monitor, hopefully it looks right on yours too :P I have to admit, I bought this ink only because of the name (but who here hasn't? hehe) and used it despite hating the color because, well....it had such a great name!!! However, I'm pleased to say that it's grown on me. Hooray!

PS -- Yes, that's Van Gogh chasing his runaway ear. Poor guy :roflmho:

Good review. It's an ink I want and have emailed about but haven't got a response or an invoice yet :(

 

your water test actually gives a starry night impression, all smudged and etheral.

Lots of wants, limited funds!

I had to wait a while before I got a response as well. Don't worry; the admins are busy people but they'll definitely get back to you ^_^

This does indeed look like a beautiful ink. It is the perfect shade of dark blue for me. Right now, the only blue ink I have is Pelikan Blue/Black. I like it, but on some paper it looks washed out. This ink looks a little more promising.

Excellent review, the cartoons are great! I'm wondering, does Starry Night have any greenish tint to it? I didn't see any in the scan, but thought I'd ask in case you've noticed something. I'm using Aircorp Blue-Black right now and that's one of the things I really don't care for--it's more of a greenish-teal-black than a true blue-black.

Not at all. This is a true blue-black. Actually, I was intrigued by Aircorp Blue-Black because of the greenish tint!

How long did you have to wait, as it's been nearly 3 weeks now :(

Oh jeez, really? Hm, I forget exactly how long I waited....but it definitely wasn't 3 weeks. Maybe you could try emailing them again? Good luck! :hmm1:

Seems a little long. They've always been pretty quick to respond when I ordered.

Nope - I emailed and sent two follow up emails and not one response.

 

Since it was my work email I even included my screen name, but no dice.

 

I'm just hoping they actually read the forum and take pitty!!

I am told the admin in charge of the ink had some health issues which were an obstacle. However, I just got invoiced for a bottle of blue and a bottle of tulip so hopefully the FPN specials are available again. Rejoice!

 

 

Yep - got invoiced myself which I've paid for, so i'll stop whinging now. Just have to sit back to wait for the ink to roll in. My order was the same as yours!

Thank you so much for this review! I have a Red & Black notebook too and couldn't figure out why this particular ink didn't work for me when it got such good reviews for others -- it never occurred to me that it might be the paper!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      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
