What a charming review for a lovely ink! I really must dig my sample out. Three red pandas and a baby wombat!

Great review of the ink I use 95% of the time. Some people think violette inks are too informal, but that's not true. This is close to the the ink millions of French kids learned to write with.

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

One of the best reviews of all time (IMO). Not so academic, pedantic. I use this ink all the time. One of the things I like best about your review is the mention of 30 ml. I too would favour a 50 or 80-ml bottle. 100 or 1500 ml would be too much.

Thanks for sharing your review. The combinations of witty humour and art makes smile.

I just ordered a bottle, even when both my handwriting and drawing skills would be much less a compliment to this ink.

Lovely review - very creative :thumbup:

 

I would concur - the ink is a pleasure to use.

 

Looking forward to further creative reviews. :D

Very nice review. For some reason I've never considered this ink when looking at the swabs or the screen but after your review it's on my list.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
