Recommended Posts

Hey Everybody!

 

if you're anything like me, you have a very specific way that you like to arrange your collection of inks on your desk or in a drawer etc. Time to show them off! Ill begin by posting mine and a list of the inks there.

 

Please don't mind the tequila in the background....

 

Thanks

-M.

Inks:

 

Lamy Blue

Lamy Blue-Black (my first ink)

 

Montblanc Leonardo (maybe my new favorite)

Diamine Turquoise

 

Noodler's X-Feather

Noodler's Rome Burning (awful)

Noodler's Forest Green

Noodler's American Eel Black (my everyday ink for my TWSBI 580 and it smells great)

Noodler's Baystate Blue (proceed with caution)

Noodler's Black Swan in English Roses (my everyday ink for any flex pen)

Noodler's Red-Black (my everyday ink for my Platinum 3776 with its awesome 18k "c" nib)

Noodler's Apache Sunset (my go-to "impact ink" when I want to show off)

Noodler's Saguaro Wine

Noodler's Zhivago (one of my all time favorite inks, probably going to switch my Montparnasse to this ink)

J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir

 

Pilot Ishorizuke Tsuki-yo (my everyday ink for my Lamy 2000)

Pilot Ishorizuku fuyu-syogun

What are the large bottles of golden brown ink in the background?

One is Tequila and one is probably Sailor Jerry at a guess?

Yup, those up top at the right are the ones I saw first.

I definitely believe that this "large bottles of ink" help my drafting very much, I highly recommend them. :lticaptd:

 

Also, nice collection Attila! What is the flagon of ink I see?

 

On an unrelated note, I also have a really good friend in Budapest named Attila!

This is the best collection I've ever seen of these bottles. WOW thank you for sharing.

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

Eeew ... do I see Concord Bream in Amber's collection? Doesn't that even top LRM for bad behavior on paper?

Hmmm, I don't see TX Pecan with the "Big Nuts" on it.

Good eye, yep, I have both the Big Nut (next to the heart) and the lousy concord bream but no LRM. However, QSH was the WORST performer for me.

Wow nice collections! I just saw an interesting 1 liter OMAS bottle for sale and I got tempted to buy it...I just worry if I buy one that I will end up with lots of vintage ink bottles and it will start to look like clutter.

 

Since I am in the middle of a huge remodel all of my inks are in various boxes...not sure I will ever have a proper display though as my style is modern and minimal.

The reason mine is so small compared to what it could be ... I give away samples or even bottles.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
