Blue - Yiren

Recommended Posts

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).

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

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

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

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?

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

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.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
