Levenger New Bottled Ink Colors

Recommended Posts

While few and infrequent new colors and they discontinue colors at times, three new colors are on the web site.

I've found Levenger to always be good in saturation and quality. I ordered them today. Not affiliated, although, I miss their presence here in Florida. :crybaby:

 

Blazing Sunset

Greystroke

Pomegranate

Sorry for the old thread resurrection. I wanted to add a comment on Blazing Sunset. I picked up a bottle of it, and I really like the color. It seems "drier" in the new Pilot FP, but that may just be the nib. However, as life tends to steal attention, I let it dry in the pen, and it left a bit of a crusty, clumpy mass behind. Luckily the nib and feed were easy to get out for a proper and thorough rinsing (thanks to Goulet's handy video on that subject).

 

Anyone else have any thoughts on this ink? It really is a great color, but I'd be wary of letting it dry out.

Orange/rust coloured inks are known for a tendency to form nib crud, especially in pens with caps that don't seal well. There are several that exhibit the same behaviour e.g. Diamine Ancient Copper & Pumpkin, amongst others.

I always liked the Levenger Cobalt blue ink, which is my alternative to my favorite blue: DC Supershow Blue from Private Reserve.

      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
