I present to test the ink De Atramentis Cement Grey, who probably had to be gray, and it is more green with a touch of gray. Like most inks De Atramentis has good characteristics and drying time. Color presented reminds me a bit of ink Private Reserve Grey Flannel, with that here added a little more green. I like the gray ink, but with the addition of more blue than green. Despite this, I recommend!

 

Producent: De Atramentis

Series, colour: Cement Grey

Pen: Waterman Hemisphere "F"

Paper: Image Volume 80 g / cm2

Thanks for the review. I have really liked most of the De Atramentis inks I've tried, and Tchaikowsky/Silver Grey is a favorite.

Thanks for the great review. This is a favorite of mine under the Charles Dickens label; hadn't realized they were the same color. You'd think the "Color: Cement Grey" line on the label would have been a tip off, but I guess I didn't get past Dicken's portrait.

i really like this color. i'm a big fan of grey inks, and it is dark enough to qualify as a good everyday writing grey.

Thanks for the review. It's an interesting colour that reminds me of Diamine Graphite. I think I'll give it a try for note-taking.

Wow, you have been busy!

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

      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

      @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
