You can find the full review on my blog, here is a direct link to the full review: Diamine Turquoise Ink Review

 

I love vibrant inks, I was looking for a few blues that would go well beyond the blue-blacks and royal blues out there. I think we got something right here. I inked a Waterman Phileas and I have to say the results are marvelous. It seems to help lubricate the nib. I love the fact that it just starts as soon as the pen hits the paper. No worries about priming! It has some really nice shading even in this fine point. No feathering or bleed through has been noted as of yet.

 

Another winner, I guess I will have to see how it holds up next to the Visconti Turquoise I just received...

I purchased this ink from: Peartreepens.com (Fountain Pen Ink Samples Program) - I love those guys ;)

Glad I found this review. Picked it up just the other day and I am very happy with it. Vibrant colour, goes down nice, and does not feather on the lousy paper at work.

 

Give it a try and thank you for the five year old review.

      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
