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!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      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
