Ecclesiastical Stationery Supplies Registrars Ink

[Bo Bo Olson]

43 papers :bonk:

 

17 assorted nibs, from BB/OBB-EF-XXF, from easy full flex, maxi-semi-flex/'flexi', semi-flex, regular flex and even a nail.

 

One Ink ESSR.

 

Finished...with the easy stuff.

Now comes looking at backs of pieces of paper...trying to do photography of the most important 6-8 papers.

 

If you remember I'd said I was going to do 15 inks, in 15 pens, on 15 papers......I found out I developed a new allergy .....an allergy against work.

 

With luck Tuesday I could have something to put up. Whoops I forgot I got to clean 17 pens.

Hi,

 

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date as your ambitious project progresses.

 

I believe that OCD may be contagious!

Hi Soki,

 

Many thanks for yet another beautifully written sample! And your experience with the ESSRI!!

 

From what I can see, there is little if any shading in the image. Does the ink-on-paper original show any shading? or were you able to fully suppress that aspect?

 

I hope that ESSRI achieves good performance at that colour & density.

 

I share your opinion of the Diamine RI. I am quite sure that for its intended use DRI is perfectly wonderful. Yet as much as I support i-g inks, DRI just doesn't seen to have what it takes to make it onto my ink shelves.

But let's never say never . . .

Hi Sandy,

 

You're very welcome indeed.

 

There is hardly any shading whatsoever with ESSRI. It certainly performs really well in terms of colour and density. I actually quite like the initial blue-black colour, which then dries into an almost-black. I like it so much so that I now always have a pen filled with ESSRI, as it is really convenient to have a waterproof ink for envelopes etc..

 

Regards,

Soki

I get results similar to Soki's with ESSRI in my Pelikan M1000 OB. There is some shading and more blue tone once dry but this pen/nib combination puts down ink like a fire hose. Hand speed is required at these densities for appreciable shading.

 

I love this stuff!

Depending on the paper.

 

I got shading, the dryer and the narrower the nib gave me good shading.

I got shading with XXF ,EF, F, in Regular flex. Maxi-semi-flex/'flexi' EF too.

In Semi-flex F, M, KOB.

Springy BB

A nail M...

 

Where I got little or none was with Certain wider Maxi-semi-flex/'flexi' nibs, a real wet KM nib, or the two nibs that were easy full flex.

 

 

Again Depending on the paper.

Boy! That is BLACK! Nothing like mine! Weird. Can't wait to get my second bottle and see if it's different from the bottle I have. This is wild! I have some time off work soon, so I will post scans or photos when time allows.

I doubt that your second bottle will be different. I think the reason why my writing sample is so black is because I used a really wet pen, so the writing is extremely saturated.

I'll buy that about the wetness and nib of the pen.... but....

I see no black and I don't think that a new charge would help, either.

In Paper & Pen Paraphernalia Reviews and Articles I have a overview of the 46 papers I used with this ink.

Tomorrow I'll start photographing for a thread here and to add a couple of pictures over in Paper review.

Hi Mike,

 

Thanks for the writing samples. It is quite strange indeed. What you have shown was what I found with Diamine Registrar's Ink. I ended up giving away the entire 100ml bottle. How old is your bottle of ESSRI? Perhaps they have changed the formulation?

 

Regards,

Soki

There are other pictures of the ink over in Paper & Pen Paraphernalia Reviews and Articles under An Overwiew Of 46 Papers.

 

I have seen with my 5 x zoom, 12 M pixel Brownie camera, nothing of any importance is ever going to come out. Well I bought it to make pictures of my wife’s demi-cups so she can see them on German Ebay. It dopes that well.

The photos were made through a magnifying glass on a stand.

 

Did I get majik???? Some papers, some nibs yes.

It’s too bad you can’t see it.

Some of the Full Flexible L's, have a line of a outline in a black on the outside of the a dark grayed black color in them as they cross. A little triangle in the top, trapezoid in the bottom of the letter. (Only some 6 or 7 pages of that antique pad left.... :crybaby: I wasted it with Ball Points.

 

That first Great and unknown paper is shading magnificence, so is the Brunner 120.

Often my Degussa F gave me more wonderful shading than the Degussa M.

 

I have a number of very good papers…even if some are down rated for feathering, that make this ink Dance.

 

Often it shades in EF, XXF, which is Majik.

 

I got to look at run of the mill paper, good paper, better paper, grand paper, and three great papers. The first paper and one is great to write on…sensual the Zerkall. The other the 35 year old Eaton typing paper, has all sorts of problems, bleeds, is not the most wonderful to write on…shades like the devil, and gave me the blue of the Blue black.

 

 

Unknown; number 1 paper from a 35 year old pad. Writes so, so, so very nice, No Feathering even under magnification.

It would be worth to go to a computer shop and let them scan it up on a UBS stick.

35 year old Easton 16 pound typewriter paper...very blue with the Blue-black ink. This paper feathers, bleeds through...but gives inks shading tones like no other paper I have.

Makes the ERRS a real BLUE-black.

MK Papier all I could find is in the '20-'50s some one ran some real good paper under that name. 95 g. Touch of Blue.

Zebra 90 g green marbled also a very nice paper. Much better than Brunnen 90 g marbled.

 

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm300/BoBoOlson/SAM_0535.jpg

 

 

Tomorrow I will as requested add some Crane papers to the paper section pictures. They have a blue tinge to some of the nib width and flex.

.... What you have shown was what I found with Diamine Registrar's Ink. ... How old is your bottle of ESSRI? Perhaps they have changed the formulation?

Hi Soki!

Strange again.... I found the same for my Diamine Registrar's and my Pharmacist's Vintage Iron Gall Ink (second last = phenol version). My ESSRI was ordered on Nov 14, 2011, the others earlier. FWIW -- among threse three -- Diamine's is the driest, and Pharmacist's the wettest. The colour changes and speeds are all different.

I doubt that your second bottle will be different. I think the reason why my writing sample is so black is because I used a really wet pen, so the writing is extremely saturated.

 

How long did yours take to oxidize to full black? I found some month old scribbling in a notebook where the wettest parts are now full black. The majority of it is dark gray, like some of the other scans posted. Day old writing still shows some blue, but that also wasn't as wet to start with.

 

 

I've only used ESSRI in one pen so far, a Pelikano Junior with a wet writing "A" nib. I haven't wanted to try it in any other pens. I haven't felt a need to play Goldilocks when the first combination I tried turned out to be "just right".

[fuchsiaprincess]

Within hours!

[Bo Bo Olson]

Most of the change from blue to black happened fast. However, I found that some papers that were a bit slow and some retained that tad of blue...out side the Eaton.

 

I think the light has something to do with touch of blue, the Crane papers that I'm going to photograph, last night looked like there was touch of blue. They were 36-48 hours dry. Today,with adding daylight to the 'same' light source, they were the black and black-gray of most other papers.

[Bo Bo Olson]

All that photography done through a magnifying glass.

Well some other time, I might do a paper again when some one is talking papers.

 

Majik...yes. I love the dark out line of the nib's stroke and the lighter inside.

Not with every paper of course and not every nib. These featured nibs are a steel Degussa easy full flex in F, and a Osmia 14 K Supra maxi-semi-flex/'flexi' F, that shows the Majik most.

 

Even so one must expand the computer screen a bit to see here, what is so easy to see in Photobucket.

Hi,

 

Many thanks for adding so many more examples of ESSRI from many pens on an amazing array of different papers!

 

And I'm glad that you're getting a bit of Majik!
