Another Kobe ink I got from cool-japan on ebay. $20 and free shipping ... who can say no? NOT ME. :P

This is a gorgeous, rich green that is super pleasing to my eyes.

It's got fun shading on rhodia paper ...

... though it can tend to look a bit washed out on some paper.

Generally I think it looks pretty great.

If you're looking for a reasonably priced, well behaved, rich green, perhaps this is the ink for you?

This one's a bit like Diamine Sherwood Green. Great review as usual!

looks like an intense and vivid green, looks close to MB Irish green. Thanks for sharing

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

      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.
