I thought I'd share an ink mix which I am really enjoying at the moment (I hope this is the correct sub forum).

 

I bought a bottle of Pelikan 4001 Turquoise because I wanted something different in my blue ink collection, however I found it to be un useable for my office work; far too light and bright. In my ink draw I had a bottle of Pelikan Blue Black to hand so I used an empty cleaned out Pelikan Edelstein bottle and combined measures of the two in order to make a fantastic ink which I can use in the office.

 

This ink is within my personal boundaries of what is "office friendly", obviously everyone is different, but this works for me and I thought I would share.

 

I've been using this for aprox. 2 months and I've had no clogging issues, and the mixed contents of the Edelstein bottle appears to be fine.

 

Let me know your thoughts???

Nice shading for a pelikan ink(very similar to sailor sky high). Thanks for sharing, Matt..Is it written with a TWSBI fine nib?

Yes, it's an F nib. Written on Oxford 90g A5 notepad. I'll upload a sample written with my 1.1 when I'm back in the office in a few weeks.

This definitely looks like a mix I'll have to try out. Thanks for the tip.

That looks very nice! Almost like a toned down Topaz?

 

I don't have the 'ingredients' you used, but I will try it with Waterman Inspired and Mysterious (or even Serenity) blue.

 

Thanks for sharing :)

It was a nice ink. Black pooled at the base of each word, where the nib would stop to close each word.

 

The formula is still there, and definitely worth to check out.

      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
