The scan appears a shade bluer than the original, which has a little purple tinge

Thanks much for the good review! This ink looks very pretty. Be nice if it were available locally.

May you have pens you enjoy, with plenty of paper and ink. :)

Please use only my FPN name "Gran" in your posts. Thanks very much!

Thank you!

 

I think Pendemonium had a batch some time ago. Not sure if they have any now.

I got mine in India while on vacation.

Any chance you can post some comparison photos with a more common ink to give us an idea how close the photo is to actual color? Can you comment on how close the photo is to the actual color? TIA, Michael

I've compared to the ink samples I have. Hope it helps.

 

The real thing is slightly purpler than the scan as it shows on my screen. But pretty vibrant. Very well behaved, dries quickly, and produces some nice shading, even with my very wet Pelikan M605 Medium. Has become my daily ink.

Attaching a slightly better scan without the shadow from a folded page.

Rs 12.00 in Calcutta on 08 Dec 2009 , that's 1/4th of an US Dollar :rolleyes: for a 60ml glass bottle . I gave up on parker Quink here cause it's was Rs 20 for 60ml , now gone

Rs 25.00 for 30ml and worse is it fades pretty badly over the years .

Camel Royal Blue is a wonderful blue -- and I'm not partial to blue! I picked up a couple bottles when Pendemomium had it. Wish I would have gotten more.

Camel Ink, manufactured by Camlin Ltd. is a very popular ink here in India. I have used it throughout my school life and still use it as regularly.

It would be nice if Camel starts offering more colours, presently they offer four (blue, black, red and green).

Bril is another nice company, prevalent in southern india, which has a wider range of colours( the four basic ones plus violet, blue-black, turquoise and laurel rose)

 

edit: Camlin also offers the purple colour, let me see if I can find one of those.

      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
