I checked out this review because the color is listed at the De Atramentis site for Mark Twain. It's nice they put the color name in the description.

 

I always appreciate your reviews amberleadavis.

Thank you!!! I really liked this ink and though it was a nice sample, I did end up buying a bottle.

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

It's funny, when I was picking my five inks for the Massdrop special, I thought of a color quite like this ink, but came across it too late. The Sunshine Yellow took that spot because I picked a color lacking in my ink supply.

 

I've been locked in on green, brown and purple. When the Goulets have their inksamplepalooza (spelling?) I'll be sure to include this one. As a Missourian, if I can't have the Mark Twain ink, I can try the color without his name and photo.

I don't know that I would have named this ink Mark Twain, but I really like the color and I really like Mark Twain.

Any ink named for a person has been hit and miss. How did Diamine choose to associate colors with composers? With DeA, why is Jane Austcn green and Twain red-violet shade? Maybe it's a way to sell a color.

 

But whatever their reasons, keep the reviews coming!

 

Corrected red-violet. Somehow I typed thirds or got an autocorrect mistake.

I found DeA Mark Twain and the US Constitution ink and ordered it. The price per bottle was $1-2 more, but shipping was reasonable. When the order arrived, there was a surprise inside. A Jinhao demonstrator in orange that came with a converter.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
