Ordered Delta Blue and Brown and Visconti Blue this morning from GBA pens. Looking forward to trying the Delta inks as I don't have any. The Visconti is purely for the bottle - I have the Visconti blue in a plastic bottle and I'm after the mushroom (and GBA have it on offer at the moment!).

Waterman Havana brown and Diamine Orange. They go along with autumn pretty well. Took a while to find them both from the same seller but Bertram's Inkwell (no affiliation) has shipped them.

Nothing terribly exciting, I'm afraid. I'm just waiting on some Lamy ink cartridges (blue, black, blue/black, violet and turquoise) from Inscriber.com.au, who I've never ordered from before. Thought ink cartridges would be a safe enough first order!

Just got a bottle of Parker's Penman Saphire. I have been using it at the office and it is a gorgeous blue. :D

 

 

:drool: I'm drooling. Enjoy! I guess it's quite old. Did you need to dilute it to soften the colour?

 

I first met, no, used this ink around 15 years ago when I received a present of a Parker Sonnet. I have halcyon recollections of sitting at my old desk, thinking that this is quite literally the perfect colour. It was positively a joy to make words appear on a page.

 

I didn't maintain the pen well and I didn't really know what I was doing, so the feed got a bit gummed and I stopped using fountain pens until a few years ago.

 

Then, I found some PP Saphire cartridges on sale on Ebay. Though they had evaporated a little and were darker as a result (I didn't think of diluting them a little with de-ionised water) I was delighted. The colour gap in my life seemed filled again and I began writing more.

 

Then, one day when walking from my car to a cafe where I planned to have some journal time, a sudden rainstorm hit. I ran for cover, but when I sat down in the restaurant and opened my book, I found that even the few drops of rain which got through had smudged or completely removed weeks of notes.

 

I found this unacceptable and decided to begin my quest for a permanent ink as close to the 'perfect colour' as possible. I'm still on it and though I've come close, it's never been completely 'right'.

 

Anyway, returning to the topic of this thread, I have some Noodler's 'Reine Mauve' on order. I'm going to mix it with PR DC Electric blue and see if that comes close to what I'm looking for. I have no idea what the flow properties will be like, but will find out soon! B)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
