I've been abusing my current collection of inks on another thread. But having decided that 50+ samples wasn't enough, I've bought more samples and will subject them to similar misery - water and Las Vegas sunlight. I won't start the experiment until this weekend when I have expensive (child) labor so if you want to see anything special, post your requests here.

This looks like a very interesting experiment, however, the images are way too large to load on this old computer. :(

Thank you for telling me. I'm in the process of fixing that now. I didn't upload the new pics yet.

To best explain, I took all of the colors (and I added some from my prior experiment. I used a Speedball C-4 nib for each ink. The paper is an acid free / lignin free inkjet compatible business card stock. If any of the inks look "too wet" - blame the user not the ink. I will complain about these dip pens later. Once I had the ink on the pen, I wrote the ink name on two cards and doodled all around.

 

After all of the inks were dry, I took a wet brush and ran it across a single line.

Once the first wash dried, I used a really wet brush and attempted to paint the bottom doodle with water.

So, here are the first rounds after some exposure to water....

The Baystate colors are changing quickly. They are still pretty. The Visconti mixes are also changing. In my other ones, they don't completely disappear, but they do change.

I found this to be interesting. The gel highlights are completely gone. The crayons kids marker is doing almost well as the sharpie.

No surprise... the pretty scent is gone almost immediately.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      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

      @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
