dvalliere Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) When I first began sampling various blue inks, I found that not all of the inks I liked performed well in my TWSBI Mini - F. Iroshizuku inks performed flawlessly for me in that pen but I didn't find quite the shade I was looking for. I ended up coming up with a mix of Kon-peki and Asa-gao that did what I wanted. My reciple is 5 parts Kon-Peki to 4 parts Asa-gao. On Tomoe River white paper: http://s19.postimg.org/glyxmsib7/image.jpg It also shades better than others I have on lesser papers such as HP 32# Laserjet: http://s19.postimg.org/4y4vs8t6b/HP32.jpg Has anyone else tinkered with these two inks or similar?

uchinanchukg Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Wow! That looks amazing. Oh boy. I may need to pick up Asa-gao to go with my Kon-Peki.... Not sure if I'm happy or sad (about my wallet) KG Link to post Share on other sites

carlos.q Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thank you for this idea! I have an unused bottle of Kon-Peki (I don't like the color) that now seems to be useful. Link to post Share on other sites
amberleadavis Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 OOOO, I wonder if this would be a good replacement for PPS. Feel like joining in our PPS comparison?

whichwatch Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 LOoks great, with nice shading. I love Iroshizuku and have both inks - going to have to try some! Link to post Share on other sites
