Favorite Inks For A Wet 149?

Recommended Posts

All,

 

Just curious which inks you prefer for your wetter writing 149?

 

Have a medium nibbed modern that has extremely generous flow and was curious if anyone had found an ink solution...

 

BTW, using J. Herbin Perle Noir now...

 

Thanks!

...or jump into the deep end of the pool with Emerald of Chivor - a wet & wonderful way to enjoy a wet writing Montblanc!

Ah, it occurred to me I phrased my question poorly...

 

What inks have you found to TAME your wet 149er?

 

The flow is overly generous, and I would be curious if anyone has found an ink to balance....

Montblanc Permanent Blue. I have it in my 146 and it loves it! Lovely shading and well behaved. This ink tames the wildest beast.

My 149 is partial to Defoe Green. Great shading with a wet writer.

 

Regards,

John.

Thanks for the tread and suggestions. My 149s are all wet writers too. The Montblanc inks I've tried were too watery for my taste. Midnight Blue could be an option but I wouldn't even use it in a medium-nib149. 4001 inks are drier, so I might give them a try.

All, a bit more - it was suggested to me that Lamy and Waterman inks are also somewhat drier...

 

Going to try Lamy as I don't mind the blue/black color... (I have many of these, just haven't used them as the colors are unexciting...)

      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
