Sailor's Nano inks are carbon particle inks, designed especially for FPs. Like graphite or soot but extremely fine. Hence the name nano whivh means 10-9. Very smooth, also very permanent. Dries quickly too.

Their Jentle inks correspond to their "regular" inks and are dye-based. no particles. These are just as smooth but less permanent.

As to costs, here in Krautland, the Jentles come in at 9.90 Euros for the 50-ml bottles, wherease the Nanos (also in 50-ml bottles) amount to 24.90.

Both behave very well in fountain pens; Nano is a pigment particle ink that does not have any shading and it's suitable for everyday stuff. It's a PERMANENT ink so it's great on the legal documents; it's wash-proof, sun-proof, and [proof-proof] :glare: . Jentle is Sailor's regular line of inks, I never had any problems with them. They flow very well and joyous to write with.

Two things which they both do share are the bottles and the smell. Not sure that everbody working with a FP can fall in love with the creosote odour of a freshly paved road.

Nano Blue (Sei Boku) does have a considerable level of shading, if you look at the review index here...

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
