Pretty, but seems close to Diamine Deep Dark Purple, from Cult Pens, so I guess this is one I don't need. :)

I hope so because I have the DDP and find it a pain in the ahh y'know to order and pay and wait and visit customs for such a Sailor.

I hated this entire line of deep dark inks. your scan makes it look much more purple than it looked when I used it. It looked really, really black, and in the very few lighter areas, it looked like a murky purple rather than the rich one your scan shows. It looked more like Kobe #9, the purple suma I hated. But mostly it just looks black. I'm definitely selling this one as samples at the Toronto pen show.

Hmm, maybe my pen isn't as wet as yours. I don't hate it, but I'm not crazy for it either.

Another writing sample: Pilot 912 FA nib and Maruman looseleaf.

Is the color all that different from Bungbox Ink of the Witch? I know you didn't have the Bungbox color at the time of review, but perhaps you've received a sample by now?

A "strange kind of ..." ink "never before" seen, but to complete the series, now we need a "Black night" ink. I will ask "Ted the mechanic" if he has this ink, alternatively the "kentucky woman" (a "perfect strangers" for me) could produce one.

OMG, I NEED this ink. Where can I find it? I have decided that Purple Blacks are my great love. DDP didn't motivate me like Ebony Purple, Sankodo Nishikisan and Ink of the Witch. I love these.

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

Like it! But I have to use up a lot of ink before I can justify hunting more this year.

 

:lol: :lticaptd: :lol: :lticaptd:

I try not to let little things like justification or eating interfere with ink purchases.

Though, I don't think I'll be giving up tea any time soon.

Never fear, this year (2015) is almost over. Hougado Pen Gallery has a shop on rakuten, but their inks all sold out. Also on their yahoo.jp shop. Maybe someone knows the ink speculators and can find some through them.

 

But such speculation support I not. (said Yoda style.)

      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

      @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
