Well, that will teach the poor fellow to play with Ethernautrix!

 

I think it is more fpn than ethernautrix.

 

When I asked if I could put his e-mail address on fpn and he said yes, I said, "What if you get a thousand e-mails?" He laughed.

 

Inky fpn members are ink crazy, hahaha. And it's wonderful!

Thanks, rudyhou. I suppose writing in journals just about daily for years and years could be considered stealth practice. (Practice without considering it as practice.) When friends (or friends of friends) catch a glimpse of my notebook pages, the remark I most often hear is "it looks like a printed book!"

 

So... where is kwzi? Hahaha. I know, it's only the 22nd.

He is fighting! :)

I got back from Easter on Monday evening and I prepared fresh batch of some inks and also purified some colors of the earlier one, this took me till around 5:30 in the morning;)

Yesterday I was doing some R&D and preparing color chart:)

I have a lot of tape - and I won't hesitate to use it!

I have to apologize for that I'm awful photographer - I tried to fight a bit with camera I have but still I feel a bit disappointed.

Photos taken in full sun light ten to be to bright and unsaturated, and those taken in artificial goes to far to black. Today I took another series of photos, and here is link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3tWuKWyhQmwQ1ZiRUtGbEQ0SEU/edit?usp=sharing Some photos were taken in direct sun light, and some in mix of scattered sun light and artificial light. Enjoy!

Just a note to our members: kwzi provided a link. That link is a ZIP file about 161MB in size that contains 84 pictures. I have downloaded it and, my computer found no viruses or problems.

So many nice colors! I love the iron gall colors, too.

 

If a group buy happens, I'd probably be down for one of the blues and maybe an iron gall.

Well, this should be interesting! KWZI, Dale and I are willing to organize the group buy.

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

BACK OFF MY BLUE #3!

 

I'm kidding.

 

No, but, seriously.

 

Hahaha.

 

Really.

 

(Laughs.)

 

(Shakes head no.)

 

I hope kwzi makes it to Pen Salon Steinhaus - everyone, cross your fingers!

 

Thanks, kwzi, for making and posting the photos!

Interested. Even though I haven't tried all the Akkermans from the last group buy yet.

I really like the Dark Green! It reminds me of Noodler's Prime of the Commons. Also enjoyed the turquoise iron gall ink.

      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
