inkstainedruth Ancient Artifact

gouletpens has an image of it on their site. I cannot wait for this. Ordering as soon as it goes on sale!

Good to know -- wonder if they will take the website down (the way they did for the launch of Bleu Ocean) to give everyone an equal shot of getting some.

But did I read the listing right? That it's a limited edition? Sounds as if I'm going to have to skip the sample and go straight for a full bottle.... Which makes me a bit nervous because I have a bottle of the original formula of Rouge Hematite and it does have a tendency to be cloggy. Although this looks like the gold is more like dust, not flecks.

DAMN!

 

As a newb, the list is starting to become long and distinguished!

 

As far as use, I think the color is in that area of the spectrum that it can be used for almost anything aside from the most formal business or academic requirements. Well, that is what I saying if anybody gives me any (bleep). :)

My big dividing line is: can you use it for a condolence letter? In this case, no. I don't think so. Business? Nope. An unpleasant letter, no. But, all the other stuffs of life: YEA!

I can't wait for this ink, and I am not a grey ink fan.

 

BTW, I have used Rouge Hematite in many pens with never a clogging issue. It's such a lovely rich red.

Just got back into fountain pens after a while away from the hobby, glad I did now though. Can't wait for October, the thought of this ink in my OB Montblanc 34 is filling me with all sorts of.. feelings. Ordered a Rouge Hematite to scratch the new ink itch (haven't bought a new ink in ages), but this Stormy Grey looks just plain amazing.

I have the Rouge Hematite batch with little to no gold. I actually like it in a calligraphy pen (Lamy Joy) but I kind of feel sad about the lack of sheen. I'm on the fence about Stormy Grey. It's not like I don' t have ink.

You can never have too many inks.

I thought I had found my grey ink using Kiri-same. It appears I am wrong. The sheen in the photos is amazing. The splash test sold me. :yikes:

 

Well played, well played.

I was thinking about getting my first grey, but thought "I can just dilute some black ink I have or add WotW to some. Grey is boring"

Now, I'm confused about life. I don't understand why I don't have this ink. Honestly, why don't I own it, someone help me!

      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
