Sorry I ditched my Epson printer so I can't participate but it wouldn't scan anymore because it said the cartridge was empty.

 

I got Sailor Kobe Arima Amber from cool-japan a couple months ago. It's not exciting in the least and sometimes hard to start which is exciting in a bad way. Light yellowy/orangey brown, not much shading, no sheen, no saturation to rave about. Looks to be quite the same color as that Edelstein Amber above. Used it in a Shawn Newton Townsend with an M nib then switched to Yamadori.

A few more items for the thread: Amber (Pelikan Edelstein), Inti (L'Artisan Pastellier), and another version of Helianthus (Rhorer & Klingner).

 

I apologize for the scans --my scanner just cannot seem to capture the right shade/tint, and my skills on Photoshop are limited...

I love your swatches --they really capture the complexity of the inks. And they also remind me of Jackson Pollock, but that's another story... ;)

Thanks folks!!!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison

Just acquired the highly acclaimed Ambre de Birmanie. I see now what people are so excited about...

Your writing (and the great name) are what make that ink exceptional.

Fun with gold inks with gold lustre dust added. A drawing based on a Mabie Todd ad from the 1920s.

Sadly I only use such colours to mix with as I find them really difficult to read. :unsure:

NOODLER'S APACHE SUNSET - Incredible shading properties.

 

http://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_rk_helianthus_swatch.jpg

 

ROHRER & KLINGNER HELIANTHUS - A lovely bright warm yellow. A few drops or 0.5ml will add tons of warmth to an otherwise "dull" mix.

I'm loving this ink.

Great artwork and I love the colors. I'm too intimidated by the sketches to attempt to post anything!

Remember most of us can't draw like Tas and Halloween. I can barely make the little pacman ghosts.

I like this ink a lot. But I found it just a touch too light, so I added just a touch of Diamine pumpkin, and now it's a gorgeous, richer EGG YOLK color! I'll post a photo tomorrow...

      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.
