visvamitra Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Some time ago Tinjapan send some Sailor LE ink to Sisnistral1 who, in turm, sent the rest of the samples to me. Thank you both of you S Sailor is my favourite ink maker. Sadly their most interesting inks are available only in Japan or from internet retailers. Getting ink from Japan is expensive. Ink of Witch is one of the inks I would consider adding to my collection. I like it a lot. http://imageshack.com/a/img540/8447/DMrwzT.jpg The other one is Nostalgia - has anyone used it? http://imageshack.com/a/img538/1469/15W3mV.jpg Drops of ink on kitchen towel http://imageshack.com/a/img540/8348/kzCRBC.jpg Software ID http://imageshack.com/a/img673/3777/YvdN93.jpg Color Range http://imageshack.com/a/img901/2171/Ph7q0v.jpg Oxford recycled, 90 g - Kaweco Sport Classic, B http://imageshack.com/a/img909/6858/RJB4Da.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img910/4923/8nigSC.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img537/9965/LQHrnF.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img661/5632/aBH0n8.jpg Cheap copy paper , Kaweco Sport Classic, B http://imageshack.com/a/img538/5776/baHpD9.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img661/5439/P8hRjZ.jpghttp://imageshack.com/a/img538/2983/DmWuSY.jpg Waterproofness - fair enough http://imageshack.com/a/img537/2810/ihiTgY.jpg Does it sheen? http://imageshack.com/a/img538/7246/4x5RNz.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img903/6062/jJkKF7.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img540/6564/osLcuR.jpg A little bit Comparison http://imageshack.com/a/img912/3586/x9yQtF.jpg https://wondernaut.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberleadavis Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I love this ink! 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 Don't know where to start? Look at the Inky Topics O'day. Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visvamitra Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 @Cyber6 - 12 of them? That's not cool :/ When I looked at the pics of Nostalgia today I thought that I had to get it. It's totally my kind of brown. https://wondernaut.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alarickc Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Easily my favorite black-purple or grey-purple from Sailor that I've tried.

Bourgeoisie1 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The RGB codes are very helpful. Thanks for the detailed review. Ask not what your fountain pen can do for you, ask what you can do for your fountain pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleosmama Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Not for me. It just looks black, and I don't use much black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank C Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I really like this one. It does come out black from a wet pen. Then if you look closely, you can see some hints of purple. I love using it at the hospital where we are supposed to use black ink. I can always find a page I've written on when I use one of these almost-but-not-quite-black inks. "One can not waste time worrying about small minds . . . If we were normal, we'd still be using free ball point pens." —Bo Bo Olson "I already own more ink than a rational person can use in a lifetime." —Waski_the_Squirrel I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Barkingpig Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Not for me. It just looks black, and I don't use much black. I have NO black inks NOR am I interested in black pens. BUT I wanted an Omas 360 & found a full size model that was a very good price & since I had NOT even written with one found it the best choice to "try" before wanting one of the new Arco models. I was VERY happy to receive the pen (even with a MEDIUM nib because it was "soft" & quite a "wet" writer) and used this ink for it's first fill. I loved it & afterwards have used similar "darks/almost blacks" in it. Each combination of the "mystery" inks in this pen have been "fun." I have since found a more preferred 360, yellow with a broad nib & it has appeared thru tracking with arrival in San Franciso. I will surely enjoy it but will always have a fondness for this ink because it made me appreciate a pen I was less than excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerteacher Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 A bottle of this, and a bottle of Oku-Yama, I save for those times I want to 'go stealth' and hide the fact that I'm not really using black ink. In a fine or extra-fine nib, only fountain pen ink aficionados can tell that it isn't just black ink, but something special.

mmg122 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sad to hear that Vanness won't be getting their next shipment of BungBox until December. Still waiting to buy Ink of Witch. Arghhhh On a bright note, I have all the BungBox inks I want, except this one...so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
