Wow, those are great.

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

Not loving, loving this ink. It's OK, but not special. A light "toffee" brown that doesn't really grab me, but someone may find it gorgeous...

I found it to be too dry for my tastes.

 

THat could also go in Yellow / Gold.

Just got a fresh bottle of Private Reserve Vampire Red. It looks different from the first bottle I had (and had to throw away due to mold) --I wonder if it's a new formulation. And now that I know about how gunky it can be (used to be), I did a double filter of it right off the bat. I took a funnel and a coffee filter, poured the ink into an empty bottle, washed out the original bottle and cap, threw away the filter, put in a fresh one, and filtered the ink back into its original bottle. We'll see how that works...

 

If this is a new formulation, I like the color less than before: it's lighter and less vivid, although it is a nice reddish brown. What do you all think?

Good to know. No inky ghosts with this ink, then. With other inks, you can count on it... ;)

It is ugly. Then again, it also kind of looks like that MB red chalk people are crazy about.

Fountain pens forever and forever a hundred years fountain pens, all day long forever, forever a hundred times, over and over Fountain Pen Network Adventures dot com!

An ink that I have not been too fond of. There is a slight greenish tint that doesn't show up in the scan, but kind of creeps me out...

Halloween, I'll take ghosts anyway I can get them!

 

As for the copper burst, I don't know why I don't use the ink, it just doesn't motivate me.

Precious acquisition: Francesco Rubinato "Seppia con essensa di cuoio antico." Very pleased.

These Rubinatos cost a pretty penny these days and seem to be no longer available for sale.

Au contraire, ma chérie! I just purchased two bottles and they arrived today. I'm not sure how much they have in stock, but I ordered them from "Treasures 2 Remember" [www.treasures2remember.com] As I recall, they only had three colors left, so it might be a good idea to grab up their inventory...

Treasures will not be restocking when we talked to them. Thus what they have may be the last.

Good to know! I may have to go back for more and sell them secretly on the streets of Indy... ;)

      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
