Bravo to FC for another great looking ink

Definitely on my short list.

Hope they have a presence at Baltimore Pen Show this weekend

If not there's the DC show in August

It looks very similar to their Black Cherry, which I quite like. I think their Urushi Red is the most successful of their range in terms of an interesting and quite unique colour.

I want to like this ink, but it does seem kind of flat. Thanks for the review!

Personally, I have not found most of these inks to be dry; quite the opposite. Most of the one's I've used have been right lubricant, the only one that didn't seem so (though, I would not call it dry) is Benjamin Franklin Green (2016 Philadelphia Pen Show L.E.).

 

 

I'm in this camp as well. The FC inks haven't been dry at all for me, and I live in a fairly dry climate (S. Texas). They weren't wildly wet like my experience with Caran d'Ache or Omas inks, but dry? Not at all. Not nearly as dry as Pelikan inks of every kind, which will literally make nibs squeak on a page.

Thank you for this review! Blue-black is my favourite ink colour. That is why the word blue black ist always an eye catcher for me. But just judged from afar and without personal ink test, this is not an especially good example of blue-black. But anyhow it is extremely interesting for me to hear of new ink manufacturers!

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
