Review by Review you learn more and steal ideas from other people.... This time I stole the idea from Cybaea who alwas does some nice writing to show the beauty of the ink. Great Idea Cybaea :thumbup:

 

 

I Did this too.... I always thought on doing something with Inks & Literature ... Do love them both. Maybe I will start a blog someday ;)

 

Wel First things first... For the ones who just want to know about the ink

Thanks for the review. Definitevely a must.

Just curious. The numbers from the color picker are obtained just by inspection or some other more sophisticated method?

I used the eyedropper tool

Hmm... your sample / bottle is greener than mine. Thanks for the great review.

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

Mine is almost black! Like Noodler's El Lawrence or Burma Road Brown....

 

Wonder what would happen if I diluted it a bit.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Interesting. I just started using my sample of El Lawrence, expecting it to be a black with some greenish tint when shading, and found it isn't black at all. On every paper I've tried, it's a dark olive green.

Key word being 'almost...'

 

I loaded a purple Hero (359, is it?) with this Stipula Musk Green as one of my trio of Halloween pens. 'I don't like it,' I muttered, and yet every time I needed to jot something down, I reached for that pen. It grew on me.

 

Knowing that how an ink looks is deeply influenced by nib, feed, and paper, I'm probably going to experiment with finding the best combo for this.

But my El Lawrence isn't even "almost" black. It's nowhere in the neighborhood of black. It's just olive.

 

Not to run the thread off the rails. I was just surprised at how not-black it was when I tried it, so I'm wondering if that's atypical.

Must be a different batch from mine. For me El Lawrence is dark greyish-brown with just a hint of green. It's an ink I didn't think I'd like until I saw a review of it a couple of years ago -- and just kept staring at the scan and going back and staring some more.

As for the Stipula Musk Green, thanks to Morbus Curiositas for a very comprehensive review. I'll admit that I don't like this color green at all. But reviews of inks I don't want are as useful as those of inks I'm interested in.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
