This is a dusty blue-green. I like the darker colour of the shading but not the lighter colour of the non-shading part. It's a nice sheener.

Writing sample

The ink changes colour as you write. It flows onto the page as blue but quickly dries to a greener tone. Similar to Ku-jaku but more drastic.

Comparison

The letters are all in Syo-ro. Only the swabs are for comparison.

Ku-jaku, Syo-ro and Shin-ryoku are like three Iro brothers. Ku-jaku is bluer, Shin-ryoku is green, and Syo-ro is in the middle.

Yama-dori and Ku-jaku are very alike. Yama-dori looks like a "stronger" and richer colour.

Not a fan of this colour, too muted and washed out for me, but am a fan of this review.

 

Like the style of your reviews Lgsoltek, please keep giving us good stuff like this.

I have this as my go-to ink in a Pilot Capless, and it's not washed out or dusty at all; possibly it pays to have it in a wetter pen? I like it very much, especially the way it changes colour as it dries.

 

Cheers, Al

VERY NICE!! Thank you for the ghost!!!

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

I have this ink, and it's an insane sheener for me with the red tones. Plus, the primary color is even darker than first picture on the right. It's far darker for me than Yama-dori, almost a teal-black.

 

Depending on the pen I use it in, it can be very disconcerting to have this assertive teal-black with deep red "halos" around every character I write. I wish I didn't have a lingering tremor, still, while coming down from Graves Disease, post-op, so that I could take a picture to demonstrate what I mean.

 

The color and sheening is so different for me that I wonder sometimes if I have the same ink everyone else does. It's that dramatically different from every other photo I see of it online.

Good review.

It's one of the first inks that I purchased when I got into fountain pens about a year ago, it's still a favourite.

 

Cheers,

Not a color for me. But thanks for the review.

Great review thanks. I have this ink but don't really like it. I find it looks "sickly" on the page. Not one I'd ever buy again.

Same here. In the pens I've used it in, it's so dark that it's almost a teal-black, with a very decided red sheen to it.

      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
