That will be a hard one to match... below is Diamine Steel and KWZI #36.. The scan makes it look bluer... KWZI #36 is your closest bet.

Thanks, Cyber6. I have a sample vial of the Diamine Steel, but I'l try the KWZI #36, too. Ha, I was almost lazy and asked you what "KWZI" was, but then I just Googled it, and, voila! Konrad. AHA! I checked out a FPN ink review of it, and the shading shows up nicely. Thank you for the heads up! I owe you!

Who sells it? I looked on Goulet Pens but didn't see it. (I love Goulet Pens! Super nice folks, great service, fair prices. What's not to like?)

Then I thought, hmm, "Kwaeco" sounds Japanese; I should try JetPens... and there it is. Cool.

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

Is there a match or near match for DeAtramentis Almond Flower?

 

From the top of my head ... I will say Toucan Magenta.. I had a bottle of Almond FLower, but gave it away in a trade. I should have a sample to make a card. Give me a sec..

OK.. Apologies for the feathering.. I just did a quick dip and the mnemosyne cards don't take kindly to that amount of ink.. :(

 

But the hue is unmistakable.. Toucan Magenta is a close match.

Edit... Made a new card... looks better... :P

I'm still impressed you can do a dip that quickly! Thank you!

As I usually say... depending on the pen and paper, you can make similar inks look identical.. ;)

 

On the scan below Daniel Defoe looks a tad yellower.

That's an amazing match (and done amazingly fast.) If writing a letter, one probably couldn't tell the difference. Thank you.

Oops, you're right. I wrote Konrad first, then for some reason in my mind it morphed into Kwaeko. Thanks for catching it! So now my question is, who sells KWZI (Konrad, yes?) ink?

Yes, Konrad is the Ink Master. Right now the easiest/affordable way to get them is through a Group Buy. Follow the link in my signature, the KWZI Second Group Buy is completed, but I will announce in that thread when we are ready for the next one. It won't be until the new year

 

 

In the meantime, drop me a PM with your mailing address and I can mail you a sample of #36 for you to play with and decide if you really want it.. (You will... :P)

Not identical, but close enough?........

 

 

AMAZING MIgo.... thanks so much. I just got Tyrian Purple.. and I was thinking, where have I seen this... Now, I know... :lol:

 

 

Thanks so much. Also, I was thinking in getting the Pen & Message Suuruschi, but wanted to see a real swab (not jjst the one on the site)... Thanks so much. It looks lovely. :wub:

 

 

And yes.. they are so close, that if you don't put them side by side.. they would be identical.. :P

OK, let's start with ....

 

 

 

AMAZING VIS !!... You sir, you have been the only person that has convinced me that Akkerman *might* be using/mixing Diamine inks.

 

I have Majestic Blue and Shocking Blue... in my experience, I found Shocking Blue with a shocking amount of sheen... Majestic will have sheen but not as impressive as Shocking Blue. The color hue is very similar (almost identical)... but they "feel" different in my pens. Can't remember which one .. but one was much drier than the other. I believe Majestic was much drier and gave me some problems in my pens. Looking forward to your review of them.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
