Inks With A "sheen"

C - I have had a similar experience with both Tolstoy and Sidney Harbor.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Just curious if anyone has a pic for Diamine Sherwood green - I heard it sheens and got a sample in my last Diamine order but I've tried it out in 3 different pens with multiple nib sizes and have yet to catch any sheen. (writing on rhodia, clairefontaine and cheap notebooks)

 

on another note, I spilled some Diamine Bilberry and got this awesome shot of the sheen:

 

 

 

And this from my experiments with Diamine Blue Pearl: (sheen, shading & sparkles! )

 

 

 

 

PS: I tried adding the pics using a URL from my Onedrive cloud and the platform wouldn't let me,so I just uploaded them as files. How do we add pics?

Here is an ink with an insane amount of sheen. The ink is purple but looks green. Sterling Violet Ink Powder.

Take-sumi and Cross Violet. Take's sheen is a pink-y/silver, very shiny, almost mirror-like. The Cross is a green/gold; as you slant the light source from the vertical (violet), you see the dark green shading appear, lowering it further the gold comes up.

ETA: Take-sumi is in a JIF F, Cross Violet in a Kaweco Sport F.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
