Which Inks Are You Using Today?

Not a very crazy view as I needed to fill only one pen, but the Edison Collier "Metallurgy" was refilled with Sailor Kingdom Note Trametes versicolor.

Thank you for reminding me of this ink. I must get a bottle.

Today I'll be inking a M400 Tortoise OB purchased six months ago, and as yet un-inked by me, with Taisanji

I have only two inks that aren't purple, and Taisanji Yellow is one of them, but it took me a while to find a pen that would show the ink to advantage.  I bought it to use in my Pelikan 140, but that pen is a relatively dry fine or extra-fine (nib not marked), and the line was too pale to be interesting.  Most recently, I tried Taisanji Yellow in a Peyton Street Pen Works prototype pen with a medium cursive italic nib.  With that nib, I get a rich golden line--with no shading, unfortunately, but a legible line in an attractive hue that happens to complement purple very well.

 

In what pens do you tend to use Taisanji Yellow?  Any nibs that aren't broad?

 

 

[Karmachanic]

I'll ink the M400 and go from there. Maybe a 0.6 Ti nib.

Filled my original FP, an Aurora Ispilon Deluxe, with my first ink, Sailor Kiwaguro. See the I ❤️ Kiwaguro thread for images (though the thread isn't called that).

Today I finished a fill of Rohrer & Klingner Scabiosa, which I've had for about a month in a Levenger Galaxy Aurora pen from the early 2000s.  I am always impressed by how easy it is to flush Scabiosa from a pen.

 

And a few minutes ago, I inked up a cheap Shaeffer calligraphy pen--a transparent Viewpoint, marked fine but really quite broad, from the mid 1990s--with J Herbin Amethyste de l'Oural, to use for holiday notes and gift tags.

 

I still have a Pilot Black cartridge in my old Pilot XF desk pen.

So far it's been (highly diluted) Colorverse Stars and Stripes, in the Vector with the italic fine nib on it.  But I slept in and am not moving all that fast (it's after 1 PM and I've barely had breakfast).
