I love the colour and saturating of this ink, although there is some bleedthrough on cheap paper and some noticeable feathering

Thanks for reviving this thread NathanGrimaud. I totally forgot that I had this ink. Re-reading my review I decided to dig it up and throw it out.

 

So, I dumped the ink down the sink and rinsed out the bottle 10 times with water. Even agitated the water several times. Can't even tell I got rid of the ink! This ink stains glass. No place in my pens.

So Diamine came up with a Bay State Blue subsitute, it even stains like BSB. Just what I wanted :-( Not.

The only constant is change.

I picked this up looking for a "peacock blue", though it's not quite there. I've only tried it in one pen, my Pilot VP. I don't hate it, but it's got less pop than I expected. Any suggestions for a peacock blue?

OH, I love Sargasso Sea, you didn't think it popped? This ink is super saturated and should give you amazing color.

 

When you say Peacock, are you looking for a purplish blue or a turquoise blue?

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

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

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
