Yesterday it was Diamine Imperial Purple but today has been a Waterman Serenity (Florida) Blue day in a Jinhao x450 and a Baoer 388 (depending on the size of the writing)

 

The x450 can get through a lot of ink in a day! :rolleyes:

Pens and paper everywhere, yet all our hearts did sink,

 

Pens and paper everywhere, but not a drop of ink.

Using the Parker 51 today so it is the Quink Blue/Black, but I feel a Waterman Florida Blue (I have several bottles of the old ink) day coming soon.

Waterman Havana in my Lamy safari at home (I'm preparing the notes for a presentation I have to give).

I'll use Herbin Perle Noire in my Kaweco Sport at university.

It's another "I dunno what it is" day.

I have a new-to-me Parker 21 and filled it with distilled water to test it. The color that got dispersed in the water container as I filled it (I have a small glass jar for this purpose, that used to have a cork stopper) had some definitely blue violet hints to it, but is coming out of the pen onto paper as a decided blue-black. Similar, in fact, to what came out of the Esterbrook I bought in the fall.

I must say, that once I got it rehydrated, there seems to be quite a lot of it... (it's either that or the nib is fine enough to be stingy, because I've easily gotten 8 full pages of writing out of it today so far, without any sort of refill).

Private Reserve Chocolat (finally finished that sample) in a Lamy Safari (F nib), and Noodler's Kiowa Pecan in a Jinhao 1200.

I'm writing an online serial thing. It's urban fantasy. And I have no idea how long it's going to run for.

Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher in my Lamy Safari F

Lamy Blue in my Waterman Phileas F (Not liking it, need to find something new to use in this one)

I plug things in, I push buttons, and I pick things up and put them down in different places. And when I have a chance I write things down!

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
