My Next Brown?

[monochromejournal]

Iroshizuku yama guri and Sailor Jentle Brown or my two favourites...

 

Jentle Brown shades better but yama-guri is wetter and more lubricating.

I really have to pass on Waterman Havana Brown as a wonderful and awesome reddish, rusty, medium brown. It has so much character. Pelikan and Sheaffer brown are still on my list, I will be trying out Diamine dark brown and chocolate as soon as I get back from out of town. I will have to post some samples of them all.

 

 

I wonder if anyone has suggestions on useable vintage brown ink?

Sheaffer (Slovenian) Brown has reddish overtones and is both easy on the wallet and easy on the pen.

Hi Trebster ... thanks ever so much ... i really owe you one ... i though i would never ever find a similar ink to replace Sailor Red-Brown...

 

but i think i found it ...its such a close match i cant believe it

 

Thanks for this post, Sheaffer sure is reddish, more so than Waterman by far! I am still very tempted by R&K Sepia, I might still get a bottle, it seems to be very close to the colour of J. Herbin Coaco du brasil (however it's spelled), I wonder if anyone has compared the two first hand?

A new thought came into my head, I know I said I didn't have any interest in a waterproof brown ink, but I am now wanting to explore the waters for a Non-Noodler's waterproof, or at least fairly water and fade resistant, ink. Any suggestions?

 

Edit:

 

As for those samples, nothing special I am no photographer. One without flash, the second with flash. Not definitive of course, but on my monitor pretty close to the real thing, lighting accounted for.
