Mine neither, but I anxiously away it's arrival. I just got a letter that took 5 months.

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

I own a bottle of this ink and have been using it regularly for two months. I view it as a dark purple, not a blue black. I love the ink. It behaves well and the color is lovely. I use it in a .9mm italic nib.

I had to pick this ink up once I heard about its characteristics.

 

I'd say it's an indigo, not necessarily the pigmented indigo, but more of a deep indigo, that is typically leaning more towards violet and in the realm of purple. The higher frequency of individuals saying this is more of a purple reflects the more substantial lean into the spectrum of purple, but, as an indigo lover, it is recognizably a deep indigo, by this labeling, or if you'd prefer a Blue Purple more on the purple side.

 

Beautiful color... am too excited to try this out. Have been looking for a deep indigo with some water resistant properties... not easy to find a good one, and I love the darkness of it, which makes it more legible and increasing its practicality IMO, without it being boring.

Nice Stuff....Please Compare wiht the Bombproff De Atamentis....Seems like the same colour family

Showthrough and waterproof

http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a617/Morbus_Curiositas/Sailor%20Jentle%20shigure/SailorJentleShigure008bleed_zps5e92678b.jpg

Little but very acceptible showthrough with Medium nib.... Quite strong bleeding with the 2,3 Italic...

But using the 2.3 Italic is like throwing a Molotow cocktail to the paper :wallbash:

Do not know if it survives longer swims... But this looks very legible after 2 minutes in Water

Too Conclude

Very nice and well-behaving ink. It has a nice familiar smell of ink....

Very dark blue.... (PM for a postcard)... Highly saturated (my advise clean your FP more often).

It is one of the deepest and richest dark Blues I have seen sofar....

Very Impressive....

Thanks a lot Arrigato Dennis and Rik :D

What happened to the pictures?

 

Photobucket stabbed the internet in the back, turning all free hosting accounts into hostages. For a mere $400/year, you can allow other sites to link to your photos there now.

 

And thus, a vast amount of data on this site was lost.

 

And hopefully, photobucket's future business along with it.

 

I would be happy to provide hosting for a photo or two as needed.

All one (i.e. any poster here) has to do is re-update from scratch, using the Upload function here in this forum (see the line up top, to the right of "FPN Home" etc). It's free but still takes time and energy as always. The problem remains that if the original poster doesn't have the scans or original images anymore and/or he or she is no longer around, then it's tough beans for any new readers. I had originally hoped -- after seeing that Botophucket now wanted all of our dough -- that they at least meant that for any future work and not all of that which we may have already done for a whole decade here.

      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
