So if I buy this ink, will my writing be as beautiful as that? :yikes:

 

Excellent review, thank you

Great review, and one of my favorite colors. Using it right now! I'm not sure I could write like that if I practiced forever!

 

And -- I Want That -- that is a gorgeous kitten pictured in your avatar! What a look!

Excellent Review. Stunning Penmanship. Legal Lapis is my staple professional ink, but I love this color. Maybe at a lower price point. :embarrassed_smile:

I love your handwriting, it is lovely and beautiful! Wonderful review, I like how you showed different writing styles, it really helps to give a better idea of what the ink is like or rather its potential and variety. One of these days I'll get a bottle.

 

Please do more ink reviews!

Ahhh! I saw that posting too! But I was too slow. It was such a great deal too. It's much harder to get there in time for ink sale postings. People seem to snatch them up right away. Next time, next time :)

I must say, that's a lovely shade. The Pilot inks are too rich for my blood, but I can see the difference here, compared to MB blue-black for instance. The MB ink was a staple of mine back in the 70s, and I loved the color then, but the difference between it and the Pilot is striking in your scans - the MB looks like muddy dishwater in comparison! Well, perhaps someday, these will get imported in vast quantities to the US and the price will go down...I can dream...

Wonderful penmanship. BUT, doing your own hyphenation to produce nearly justified prose is just showing off!

 

No, keep it up, great stuff.

Tsuki-yo, like all Iroshizuku inks is a fantastic, saturated and vivid hue.

 

I love it. It's a blue-black with a tinge of green, like an evening sky. But less green than the peacock ku-jaku.

 

Many thanks for a review of this fantastic ink. It's my 'go-to' nonblack work. Your writing sample puts mine to shame... :embarrassed_smile:

A great review with beautiful handwriting. I recently bought this ink and it has quickly become a favorite. This ink is very smooth.

      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
