Yiren is chinese producer of fountain pens. They offer also ink in cartridges. I'm not sure whether they produce it or just resell. Anyway I've received their blue ink, so let's take a look at it.

It's not particularly exciting ink. I find it boring, but it serves it puspose rather well. It writes, has decent flow and drying time. It smells bad, though. I've tried it from sheer curiosity and once is enough in this case :)

Hi Vis

 

That is the same for me. Cannot say I dislike blue inks but they are so standard...

 

And usually what looks nice in swap is not so sparkling in the pen..... If you have to advice on a blue or 2.... What is your advice I do not like turquoise or blue azure....

 

Another question How do you get your pics so nicely small. Mine are huge

Das leben ist wie ein Perpetuum Mobile mit ein Mangel..... Immer im Bewegung jedoch nicht unendlich. (life is like a troubled Perpetuum Mobile ever moving but not for ever)

Tricked throughout the centuries...

For centuries people had been tricked by kings & "religion-alism"

In the 20th century people got tricked by communism

Today people get tricked by (neo)capitalism :)

Thank you.

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

Reminds me a bit of J. Herbin's Blue Myosotis

Typical boring blue. Sure doesn't stand up to Blue Velvet...which is stunning. Thanks for reviewing this "never heard of before" ink.

I've never heard of this brand before in China...

Yiren produces lots of really cheap pens in China and their quality is not that great. I bent the nib on an Yiren pen in no time,but the metal was so thin and soft that I could easily bend it back. The pen's body is brass so I just stuck an Indian flex nib in it and now it's a decent cheap flex pen.

Thanks for the review.

I like the sort of crisp dark edge on the lines (I think some people are referring to that as "haloing") but overall the ink may be a bit too light to be legible in the long haul. What sort of water resistance (if any) does this ink have?

I think the Chinese is 依人, but the pens usually only have "Yiren" written in cursive writing on the pen cap and nib. Where I live in the north of the country, they are one of the most prevalent brands in the shops near schools.

      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
