Damn. Damn damn damn. I thought I was done with this thread. Then I saw Diamine Night Sky, and thought, "Huh. I wonder if I can mix Lexington Grey and Old Manhattan Blackest Black, with some silver Luster Dust, could produce a gorrrrgeous shading grey-black with shimmer.... Damn damn damn.

 

Sigh. So the brands for this were Luster and....?

 

(Oh, and for what it's worth, I cleaned out an Ahab that had been sitting with gold Luster Dust and BSiAR in it for, oh, six months, completely dried out. Washed out perfectly and easily.)

I've been wanting to make an ink-dust mix for this webcomic I read, so I've been mixing Ancient Copper luster dust with various purple inks. So far I've tried Diamine Syrah and Chesterfield Antique Orchid, and while the latter is closer to what I want, I still haven't hit the holy grail yet. Might try mixing it with Poussiere de Lune and some Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst next (though I'm a bit loath to do so with the latter).

 

I've been having a harder time completely flushing out my pen though, so I've only been using the Jinhao 599A for all luster dust mixes. Doesn't hurt the pen, but just can't wash it all out!

 

(Here are some pics for the Antique Orchid mix. First picture is closer in color to whats in front of me, though it looks a lot bluer on the computer monitor: Ink, Angled for Sheen)

I'm slightly displeased to note one of my containers of luster dust opened in my ink drawer, so now the stuff is coating everything. Welp.

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

      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
