This ink really needs to be at 12% concentration or less. When I had it at 16%, it had some issues. At 8% it is not showing any of the bad behaviors.

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

That's great news, I will dilute it and review!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

I couldn't let Visvamitra outdo me!! Green Diamond combines the dark/light green with both black and yellow tones, great shading and snap ---- sheen! A wild ride on a bucking brumbie! Thanks to Amberlea for the great paper.

I really like this ink. I know it is similar to Diamine Kelly Green, but I think it was easier to clean.

It's a little bright for me for everyday use, but I can see me using this for a few days, especially in February, when everything is gray and dreary.

 

I've been impressed with how easy all of the Susemai inks are to clean, actually. I hope they stay that way.

Don't believe everything you think.

My ink splatters never look as cool as visvamitra's, but here's what came from my pen before I cleaned it yesterday.

I've decided he must use some kind of mechanical devise to achieve them, like a blender, power drill or chainsaw. Actually, he might use all three, in ascending order of rpm's!

I'm starting to think that all ink splatters look cool, so long as they are not on my desk or papers.

Color is simply stunning and extremely saturated. Much better than Caran d'Ache Amazon. Unhaoppily it is too DRY. Cyber6 mentioned that the powsder is forgiving but I'm not really into ink mixing. I like fluids. I don't need a bottle, give me sample, make all the mixing work and I'm happy and grateful :)

 

Anyway - if this ink hits the shops and maintains this level of saturation and much better lurication and flow I'll definitely need it. However now I know I won't be interested in the powder. I understand it's pactical, cheaper to send and so on. What can I say? I just don't want powder.

I really don't know what's up.... All the inks I've unless they are too diluted ... have been wet. This problem may well be a non issue with the new powders. I just think it is odd because I think this is from the batch that I sent you.

@Dead_brackets - your ink splatter is fantastic!

Thanks! I don't think they're nearly as impressive as yours - I really like the splash look that you get!

      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
