I'm going to have to rethink Empyrean. I had it and it just didn't motivate me.

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

I was disappointed with this one since I didn't get any sheen. Wrong! The fading light fooled my eyes. :yikes:

Just playing with inks and looking for combinations. Here's group of cyan-turquoise blues --they're very pretty, but except for one or two, not profound or "soulful" (IMHO).

In response to the cyan-turquoise swatches, here are some of the medium blues in a face-off:

Long ago, the award for ultra-intensity went to BSB, but less retina-searing are Éclat de Saphir (2nd place) and Skies of Blue (3rd place). How would everyone else vote?

I like BSB the best. I have Skies of Blue to add to make my favorite mix.

If only there was a way to ensure ink (color) would not mix. DTT and Elderberry would be an awesome shading combo.

Right! And then there's the sheen, to boot! Or how about DTT and South Seas (Inspired) Blue? That could be a wonderful combo!

Ok, coming late to this thread (as usual...)

I was testing out a new Little Finch journal, distributed by Aldi, with some various inks.

 

fpn_1422250597__morebluesadjscl.jpg

 

These are as close to the original as I could get, given the flakey fluorescent light in this room, and is missing a little of the vibrancy of the original.

 

Note that the Standard Blue, the Reference Blue, the Blue Against Which All Others Are Judged is in the top left-hand corner.

 

I used the same pen for all, a Huashilai 3000 nib inserted in a Tachikawa nib holder, and rinsed with clean water and shaken dry between inks.

The inks I have by L'Artisan Pastellier tend to be really pale, but this one looks pretty vibrant. Good to know...

      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
