Interesting to know. Thank you.

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

Found a random bottle of Francesco Rubinato "Inchiostro Arancione con essenza di fiori d'arancio" (Orange ink with orange blossom scent). Really nice. I thought I liked the more reddish oranges, but this one is just pure orange --and it's really beautiful! [the scan may not do it justice...]

And now with a third orange ink for comparison, I can do another in the series of "Face-Offs"! The colors are tasty, but I'm not sure I'd like to read a text written with these inks. I'll have to try them out with pen pals and see what they have to say. ;)

The Francesco Rubinato ink looks really interesting.

 

Didn't know where to ask so I thought I'd put it here -- how does Noodler's Habanero compare to Diamine Autumn Oak? I'm looking for a slightly muted, but distinctly orange ink. Legibility is a concern. Cheers.

Good question, Sansa! I was wondering about those two as well. It looks like Autumn Oak is just ever so slightly more orange-brown, less vivid. More legible in the sense that it would be easier on the eyes. What do you think?

If you didn't tell me what they were, I don't think I could tell them apart.

True. In a pen they're almost identical --it's mainly the Q-tip washes that show the difference.

Thanks heaps for this. If both are easy on the eyes then I might go for Habanero...

Habanero! It's less expensive and I think it held up better in fade tests. Also, no reports of nib creep.

Oooh, good point about the fading. I have an Apache Sunset sample on the way but I'm pretty sure the shading will be too extreme for me. Habanero it is!

A new mixed-up creation: STORMY PERSIMMON. I really like it! This is a combination I could use on a daily basis.

In spite of my FPN name, I like a very narrow range of orange for inks. So with a new Edison Collier —Persimmon Swirl—, I needed just the right color. I did a mix in the hopes of just the right shade of deep orange-red, like those dark orange poppies that will soon be out in Spring.

 

Here's the result:

It's a shade darker than Fuyu-gaki, and a touch redder than Oranje Boven. Not sure if I love it, yet, but I may have to tinker with it a bit more...

      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

      @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
