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

I'll add scans, but all of these pages were written with the same pen. A dear friend mailed the pen back to me inked and with a nice letter too.

I did a double take when I saw the title of the post. BUPA is a private healthcare provider in the UK :-)

 

I have a bottle of this ink, thanks to the kindness of Cyber6. I like it a lot.

There is also a bottle lost in space, aka the international postal system, which should have landed in Poland many week ago . If anyone happens to come across it by any chance please return to me :-(

It's an inexpensive pen, with an expensive custom nib. Jinhao x750. I'll send it to you to play with.

I visited online, but they are out of stock. Thanks for the help, though.

Glad I ordered when I did. This is one of Nathan's best efforts.

I was in Toronto last June, and made a special trip to Wonder Pens (fighting rush hour traffic all the way from Hamilton, and then back out to the symposium I was attending (at a hotel out near Toronto International Airport). While I was there, I picked up a bottle of Blue Upon the Plains of Abraham. It's a nice color -- dark but still blue and not blue-black, IMO -- but is a bit on the dry side (or it might just have been the pen I tried it out in). I need to pull it back out and try it in something I know is a wet writer, and give it another whirl, though, once I get some pens emptied out and flushed -- I have too many pens in rotation at the moment. Again....

As a newbie, I am just now starting to purchase inks. This was the first I purchased from WonderPens and am loving it. I am using it in a TWSBI ECO and am having no problem with it. While I have not had a lot of inks to compare with, this will undoubtedly become a staple in my rapidly increasing stash!

@AllisonS, welcome aboard! I think you made an excellent acquisition.

I have yet to receive my Noodler's BUPA ink but I thought I'd relate a story.

 

As a Canadian, in Elementary School I learned about the historic battle that took place on the Plains of Abraham back in 1759 between The Brits and the French. I recalled the description of how the British troops scaled the treacherous cliffs leading from the St. Lawrence River up to the plains, under cover of dark to surprise the French.

 

I even recall pictures drawn showing steel jawed British troops climbing the near vertical "to fall is certain death" ramparts.

 

Then I visited Quebec City.

 

A four year old could stroll up to the plains and hardly break a sweat. I suspect the most difficult thing the Brits had to do was stay quiet.

Ink has something in common with both money and manure. It's only useful if it's spread around.

      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
