Still taking swatches?

 

I'd consider Noodler's Polar Blue to be a pretty clean blue/black. However, it does feather.

If it isn't too bright for you, it isn't bright enough for me.

Monteverde Blue-Black. This is a very black-leaning BB with just a tinge of blue. I think it has a bit more blue IRL than the scanner captures.

I think of it as blue, but I love the drawing!

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

I forgot that blue-black inks had their own thread. I may have wrongly posted some blue-blacks in the blue thread.

 

First is a typography exercise done with Lamy Al-Star <M> and Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black.

"Night Gathers" is a piece of the vow of the Night Watch.

Paper is Clairefontaine 90 g/m.

Two of my favorite blue-blacks! Platinum BB is the only bottle in my collection that is half empty since it sees so much work.

Totally understandable and feel free to post in both places if you are unsure of where it should be.

I'm not fond of them but I made a swatch of Shimmering Seas and I like how these three blobs convey its levels of saturation. On the left it's Seas over-saturated, in the middle it's under-saturated, and on the right it's a happy in-between.

But yeah, blobs are too impersonal, too heartless for me, so here's a bewildered fish.

Tomorrow new inks should arrive, he'll have plenty of friends.

No cure for existential crisis though. Sorry fish, you're on your own there, like the rest of us.

Yesterday my first RK inks arrived. :D Among them is my second iron gall ink (I forgot Pelikan 4001 BB).

Salix is so well-behaved, it's unbelievable. I filled one of the forms for a PhD application, so on post-print copy paper, and there's no spread, no showthrough, let alone bleedthrough, barely any feathering at all. I can finally rotate my Pelikan 4001 BB pen now!

 

Pen: Wing Sung 3008 <NO NAME F>

Ink: Rohrer Klingner Salix

Paper: Copy 80g/m.

      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

      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
