Just got Cassia today, and I love it! Great color, and sheen. Thanks for inspiring me to get a bottle!

I just got a bottle of R&K Scabiosa today. I think I must not have it in the right pen. The way it looks to me is really quite dull and drab. I was hoping for a more classic mauve, but it just seems to lie flat on the paper. Maybe an iron gall thing?

 

Are there certain kinds of pens that you'd suggest for this particular ink?

 

 

Seriously wet ones . . . :unsure:

Thanks, Tas, the Scabiosa is much better in a wetter pen.

And Cassia is really a delight!

Ooo, Scabiosa in a Skyline, wonderful combo. Might try that over the weekend. I want to fall back in love with Scabby . . .

Wow. Interesting! They just turned to a gray color, or is it my computer screen?

One of the most interesting inks I've used: Private Reserve Burgundy Mist. It's really complex, and the sheen is intense.

It's a beautiful sort of lilac, a purple gray.

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

OK. Here's another of my favorites: Black Swan in Australian Roses. I know, there was some controversy about the formulation, but the shading is great with this!

Sasakia charonda, the Japanese Emperor Butterfly, a beautiful violet.

 

Beautiful color! And the name really makes it even more appealing!

      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

      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
