Here's another newer ink that hasn't got a lot of color samples online yet. It's a nice gray color on the cool end of gray.

 

Good wet flow. Some water resistance. No misbehaving. Dries pretty quick.

 

I've been trying to decide whether to get Albert Einstein ink from Montblanc in a full bottle. I got a sample through some magical series of events, and tried it. I was wanting to see if I would like this one better. Honestly, I like them both. Einstein is a more neutral gray than this one. Sadly, it looks like I'm going to have to get both. :crybaby:

I found that this color really darkens when in a wet writer. I like the ink a lot, and I don't use black ink so that's saying something.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Hi Forum Folke,

 

I DO realize that this is a *really* old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if this ink (OS "Arsenic" gray) is an iron-gall ink?  I just snagged a Parker "51" at a flea-market, and it didn't even require anything further than a cleanout and refill.  I'm developing something of an aversion to Noodler's inks; I've had problems with a couple, and have read some reviews that leave me very cautious about putting them in vintage pens; fine for modern stuff, though.

 

So, this being the only bottle I had that wasn't Noodler's or Private Reserve (very heavily dyed and sometimes pigmented), I filled the "51" with the Arsenic gray... only to start wondering a few days later if it might be an iron-gall ink, because the other iron gall ink I DO have has a similar appearance on paper.

 

Any thoughts you may have would be gratefully received... don't want to mess up this nice specimen!

      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
