Saskia... I assume you mean out of their boxes and out of their containers... because ink out of the bottle is just...well... messy. :P

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

I doubt it.

 

Testing that will take more time.

Yes that would take some patience. I left my bottle of Pelikan Mandarin in the sun over a summer and it is still fine and does not fade as much as most of mh other inks. Edited by Tanzanite

Hahaha! Too true. :P Gee Amber, I left ink on my dirty floor for weeks and I have NO IDEA why it grew mold! :P

 

 

Still laughing. Around here if it is open, it evaporates... no time for mold. What you may not be able to tell, is that even in air tight bottles... evaporation may have occured because the the ones in plastic bottles or with plastic lids, became darker.

 

The Pelikan inks tend to distintegrate over time.

And NO Mold...

 

Oh and here is what it looked like when I reconstituted it and used a brush.

It's sort of disturbing...

 

See I can't stand to waste ink. So that first time you fill it with water to discard the remaining ink that isn't usable...well, there it is.

After viewing some of these beautiful ink collections and feeling jealous, I was reluctant to post a picture of my 'elementary' selection. However, I thought I would go ahead to post a picture inspite of these feelings:

 

Top row: Monteverde Cafe, Noodlers Turquoise, Chesterfield: Cobalt, Amethyst & Emerald

Bottom row: Chesterfield: Xircon, Siam, Fire Opal, Teal, Mahogany, Erinite & sample of Stipula Deep Blue, Montblanc Blue/Black & Black

This is a lovely ink collection. Lots of good colors and several bottles showing serious use. Don't let the (us) hoarders make you feel bad when what you have is perfectly nice.

 

Think about this: Most people have zero bottles of ink!

My side table. How fortunate that I recently cleaned this thing. ;P There are a lot of Dr. Martins, Speedball and Winsor Newton inks in there... and sumi... and some of those jars in the back are ink mixes... some Noodler's and Carbon Ink too, for my fountain pens. I use a lot of brushes/ dip pens in my professional work with fountain pens as an accent. We'll see how my fountain pen ink collection grows once my flex pens come in.

 

Because I do a lot of watercoloring, I like waterproof inks.

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

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
