I agree. It is a beautiful dramatic colour.

Thanks for the thorough review.

Thanks for the review!

The colour is very nice. I also think that burgundy inks can be quite appealing, and this one certainly has a lot of character. Too bad the ink's behaviour is sub-par.

 

And congrats on your fantastic pens!

If it's misbehaving on Triomphe, the behavior takes it off the list for me. I was another lingering over the color, but I can only imagine the spread magnified by a 3B nib! :headsmack:

Hi,

 

Many thanks for your Review!

 

I am able to avoid what most certainly looks like a bottle full of unpleasant experiences.

 

Bye,

I'm not seeing any spread, feathering yes. There are plenty of hairlines there. The color is great, try the ink in a dryer pen.

It is great to see a review of a De Atramentis ink. Great review well presented. The color is rich and very vibrant.

Thanks for your post. My Krone fiction is definitely one of my drier pens. It is almost like the paper sucks the ink out of the pen and in order to avoid a thick characterless stroke you need to move the nib very quickly. I believe that this is why you see some of the strokes with spreading and feathering as well as some hairlines. On the hairlines the stroke was very quick and with light pressure. The nib is very fine in one direction and I prefer inks with less spread where i get the fine lines just with light pressure. With this ink the stroke needs to be fast as well or you will get spread and feathering.

 

Thanks again.

 

Aloha,

This is an interesting looking ink and a very nice review. However, what caught my eye was not the color of the ink but the name of the ink. I have the Black Edition Green and the bottle calls it Deepwater Obsession, too. I'm wondering if the entire line of Black Edition ink mixes are all called Deepwater Obsession? I thought the name was very appropriate to the green, I'm not to sure about the red!

If you go to Goulet Pens (no affiliation) all of the inks in the black edition from this manufacturer say deepwater obsession on the bottle. The coolest thing about this ink in my opinion is that at the edges of my flex strokes with heavy ink there is an almost black outline on the edges of the stroke and then the dark red color shading the center. If this ink were better behaved I would really like it cause the color and variation is pretty cool.

Yea, I really like the Black/Green, but it does feather on even decent paper and dries slowly on Rhodia and Clairefontaine. I don't have a nice flexi nib, but I can picture the green doing the same thing, I just can't.

Very dramatic looking color, an excellent review.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
