I love the Navy of JFK. The midnight blue seems almost blue-black.

Tad dark for me, may have to see this on in person to decide.

Thank you for the sample. Is it possible to pair the JFK with midnight blue?

Sorry for the late reply, but I was out of town this weekend. Here is the comparison with midnight blue. It is a bit darker with more blue in it than the JFK ink.

I agree. The navy blue just is slightly lighter. The midnight blue is more of a blue/black.

Strangely, this ink never shipped to Israel to the Tel Aviv MB boutique or authorized dealers. I asked the manager of the MB boutique and he said the ink is no longer available.

I picked up four bottles at my local MB Boutique about two weeks ago. They had just gotten MB Pink in. I use the JFK in my 90th Anniversary 146 with an EF nib—great combination.

Tal, it is actually available on the MB US site, here. If you have friends in the US, they can order it now.

Great combination indeed Frank! I know you are a big fan of precise, fine, yet smooth nibs, but you should also try it in a Broad...capital B ;)

 

By the way, I seem to be using my EF and F nibs for my Kanji these days; I thought you would appreciate that.

      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
