Wait, the powder to mix one quart is available again on ebay from a different seller.

 

I got some Thistle Blue/Black ink powder years ago. I've just looked on ebay.com.au and a search on Thistle Blue/Black and other variations didn't show up anything. Is it once again sold out? What was the price this time?

 

I got some years ago, and it's a quite useful ink :thumbup: .

P&M Cigar, P&M Fuyu-gare, Shousaikan Seiran, Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki, Kobe Van gogh Cobalt

 

I have all of these except the Fuyu-gare. The Shousaikan Seiran is spectacular. Right now I have a Sheaffer Legacy stub inked with it--amazing!

I have all of these & my favourite of the 5 is the Seiran too. My 3rd favourite ink overall.

Caran D'Ache Caribbean Sea. I mulled over buying one of the last remaining bottles online but, having just started out with fountain pens, I wasn't convinced that paying £15 for ink would've been a wise move. I think I've managed to find a worthwhile substitute, in Diamine Marine, but I doubt I would be so hesitant if I was one click away from owning a bottle of Caribbean Sea, nowadays!

Hey, when you are bored with that Legacy, it can come visit me.

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

Just a visit? Or potentially establishing a permanent citizenship in one of the Diplomatic Cabinets of Inky-ness?

Susemai (at the time) Blue Diamond. This was truly my favorite ink ever.

 

Blue Diamond had the smallest run due to a mixing error on my part. However, it was AMAZING.

 

I love the Susemai powders and wish that Red and Green Cashmere and Blue and Green Diamond were released for sale. I'd gladly pay for them.

Very spooky, as I filled two pens yesterday with Green Cashmere and wondered silently if it was my favourite green :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

I have about 50ml and a sachet but I'm not sure if the sachet is the real Green Cashmere or its lovely dark grey purple cousin . . . :yikes:

The last batch of magic cashmere had a lot of different colors, but dang, it was an example of why the powdered inks are so awesome. You can make any ink more colorful and have better behaviors!

It's one of the sterling ones that were made from leftover stock for the Washington/Richmond series. My major worry, other than that it will get up and walk off to Las Vegas :) , is that one of the cats will see this shiny thing and want to play with it.

I now own three Legacy pens, two are those silver blanks and one is the barley corn pattern. I LOVE THEM.

+ a billion or so. Absolutely the prettiest blue ever.

Can you tell me more about any powdered inks that you know about? I only know about the

Thistle Blue/Black that was offered years ago and is now gone, and about someone who was going to sell powdered inks some years ago, but I think the project got derailed.

 

Powdered inks really save on shipping. I can buy distilled water nearby for a lot less than it costs to ship some with dyes in it :doh: .

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
