Sailor Kingdom Note Entoloma Virescens

This is a series of ink reviews "blues reviews" covering nearly all the blue inks in my collection that I haven't yet reviewed.

The papers used are Mohawk via Linen, Hammermill 28lb inkjet, and Tomoe River. Sorry, but I didn't do any waterfastness test, or chromatography.

Here is the waterfastness test for this ink. I'd written the text for this test back in July when I did the review but failed to perform the test. Now I have. The paper is Hammermill 28 lb inkjet. The ink lost almost no ink. This one may be very close to waterproof.

That's an interesting thought. I don't know if anyone has ever brought that up before. Usually I test after 10 or 20 minutes after having written under the theory that the ink is truly dry by that time. But maybe that's not true. I don't know enough about ink composition to know whether there would be something in the ink that would cause it to bind more to the paper after some time. Or if it's just really letting the ink and the paper truly dry.

 

I think some experiments are in order.

I did this review a while back, and recently returned to this ink. I noticed my pictures were less than stellar so I decided to repost one and add others. I see in the review I didn't think the ink sheened but on Tomoe River there is pink sheen in heavy applications of ink. Though honestly I don't know where it originates as I don't see any pink dye in the ink droplet. The ink does seem to have some water-resistance.

 

This ink is a near doppelgänger of Noodler's North Star Liberator LE as far as color goes.

      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..

      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
