Hi NS,

 

Wow, that looks neat! I haven't seen this colour before, only heard people talk about it. I love it.

 

Ok, ok, now I have to calm down again. I'm currently so over budget I shouldn't even buy more inks right now... :D

 

BTW, you have been quite active, while I was asleep... WOW. 3 kazillion posts down the line, and here I am, trying to play catch-up again :lol: .

 

Kind regards,

Wim

Haha, I hear ya. I just scanned in a buttload of images last night and I put them on my jump drive and brought it to work. Thats when I uploaded it to here. The hardest thing was to give a funny topic description. I enjoy doing this but I am afraid that I am running low on inks to post!!! Its good to get the discussing going on here. I hate a non active fourm!!! :lol:

Well I'm heavily into the ink, so I've had a great time these past few days seeing all the reviews. :D I have PR Copperburst which I have never even opened. Well, technically, I *couldn't* open the bottle, so I put it aside, and now I don't know where it is. This was before Christmas.... Me disorganized, nah.... :bonk:

Can anybody tell me how this discontinued Sheaffer "Kings gold" compares to the new plain Sheaffer "gold"?

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

If memory serves, the current Sheaffer Gold is much more bright yellow, and the King's Gold has amber/caramel hints to it. I like it much better, and am hoarding the last bottle or two I picked up.

To second Andrew's post the PR shoreline Gold is a reasonable substitute. There's always OMAS Saffron or Delta yellow if you need to get a yellow fix! ;)

It is NOTHING like the NOS Kings gold. It isn't even suitable for writing, but can be a good mixing ink.

 

I'm also a fan of the old Kings Gold.

Just curious - anyone know how Diamine Amber compares (think its a test color? It's sold at Pendemonium)?? It looks similar on my screen...

Best to just call and ask. Very nice people, but they do not have a very good web site.

 

No affiliation, just a happy customer passing on the word. :D

Ooooh, I love the look of that colour, shame it's discontinued. I might have to investigate the PR Shoreline Gold that's been mentioned.

      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
