I saw that this ink was on the 'still to be reviewed' list, and seeing as I was gifted a bottle by my good friend and fellow FPNer, GreenVelvet, I thought it only right that I should share this colour with you.

 

Click here! for a copy of the handwritten review, written with a Parker 51 OB on Habana notebook paper.

Click here! to see another example of the ink, using a Worcester Pen Company Regal, with a modified nib, on Conqueror paper.

 

As you can see from the scans, this colour is very far from scarlet, IMO, and I would rename it 'hot pink' or 'neon pink'.

 

It has all the great characteristics you would expect from a Diamine ink, although it certainly took its time to dry on the Habana paper. Dry times on the Conqueror paper were a lot quicker.

 

Personally, I really love the colour and have been looking for something like this since I started my FP journey a few years ago. It is really intense, the downside of this being that it is short on shading, but I don't feel that this detracts from the ink too much.

Conclusion: a fantastic colour, which I love, although I bet it isn't for everyone! However, a full page may be retina scarring!

Yep - it's definitely a ray-ban kind of colour, but really girly, so I love it!

:yikes: Could this be a replacement ink for Levenger Pinkly!??!

 

Levenger Pinkly was my original choice, but it went out of production just as I came across it. :(

I'm really enjoying my P51 loaded up with this; as I say in the OP, it's very girly, but I love it.

I hope my snailers don't mind too much, but this has become one of my colours for the summer, along with Diamine Steel Blue and Violet.

      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
