Wancher Inks?


........

Recommended Posts

Im thinking about purchasing some wancher inks as they look pretty interesting.

I love mixing inks for when i paint and i want to know if they are fountain pen friendly, and/or good for mixing with other inks.

Quite. All kinds of connotations, most of which would clog up your feed.

They are very good inks, I have the Imari Blue, Matcha Green and Ebine Violet.

They are very saturated and quite wet, though reasonably well behaved on lesser quality papers.

 

The backstory about the Silk Road association is quite interesting.

I have Matcha Green and the ink seems watery to me - out of a Pelikan it was a disaster. It isn't a bad colour (didn't do it for me) so if you like it pick your pen carefully.

a pilot metropolitan is my daily carry and i plan on buying a sailor 1911 profit as well as a wancher matt edition. I hear the wancher matt edition is as wet as a montblanc 149, but i havent heard much about the 1911 profit. do you know how it would take those?

I have the 1911 Long in a F nib - tried it and looks watery in that set up - so maybe you need a wider nib (metro in M should do it) with a dryish flow rate. Good luck

I've only had experience with the Asuka brown which I like quite a lot, the colour is close to Iroshzuku Yama-Guri. It is very well behaved in pens, has decent water and fading resistance and is reasonably priced, the only downside is a rather long drying time.

      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..

      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

      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
