Recently, DCWaites sent me a sample of Faux Parker Penman Sapphire #9, and a matching sample of the real Parker Penman Sapphire. I inked up a MB 149 on loan to me from fellow FPNer, Steve D. I then wrote 40 pages for this CRV.

 

So, here's the plan,

 

Sign up here for one of the 40 spots.

Send $5 to Sinistral1 as a GIFT to cover the shipping costs. Be sure to send your address so that I know where to send the package.

 

I will mail to you the following:

 

  • 1 Sample of Blue ink - NOT PPS.
  • 1 Paper with my writing sample of PPS.
  • 4 Sheets Fountain Pen Friendly Paper
  • 1 Postage Prepaid return label.

 

You write or doodle with the blue that I send you and any other blue inks you want. Scan or photograph your comparison sheet and then mail the original back to me in a regular envelope. The remaining ink and sheets are yours to keep. Though you can feel free to send back the sheets with doodles for other CRVs.

 

The goal is for us to compare at least 40 different Blue inks to the grail ink - PPS.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

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

OH - we can do this a different way too. If you aren't in the CONUS or you have lots of blue ink, then send Sinistral1 $1.25, and you choose your own ink. Let us know what ink that will be. I'll send you the 5 sheets of paper (1 with the writing sample). You pay for return postage on the sheet.

Amberlea - I'll sign up for the second option. I have lots of blue ink, and I once had a sample of PPS (the real thing). Plus I made a batch of faux PPS #9 from the recipe. But I'm really curious as to how my ink compares to what you have, so this looks like an ideal way for me to play. Especially since some of your scans have given me some ideas that suggest other inks may also compare well with PPS. And for that I need a sheet with some of the real thing put down on it! I will send the 1.25 by Paypal tomorrow.

I seem to have instigated this, so let me be the first to contribute

 

fpn_1436615543__corazy1.jpg

 

The paper is Double A white copy paper, which is available in Aus, and a number of places in the US, as well as South East Asia (it does come from Thailand, after all). If you want some, Amber, let me know and I will send a few sheets along with the original sample.

 

As usual, click on the image to get a large-size view.

 

 

PS, I was watching the film 'Rebecca', and this inspired me to use the first couple of paragraphs of the novel for my sample. That opening sentence is just welded into my brain. I don't know why.

The first three are so close together, at least in the scan they are. And frankly, I think the American blue is an even better match than the faux #9 - I am going to test it out today to see if that holds up in real life... Thanks for the writing samples! and thanks for the faux PPS, it's a really nice ink.

Yes it's a good ink, somewhat water resistant, lots of shading, but booorinnnggg

:D Looking forward to the comparisons... I may make up a new faux #9 batch and see how well it fares with being stored! In addition to the other blues.

      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

      @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
