How does one Binderize an ink?

 

For me, it is a Pilot 78G B italic finishing a Diamine Regency blue sample, and a TWSBI Eco EF filled with Diamine Tyrian Purple (can you tell I joined the ink drop?)

It is a "student-grade", lever-fill Wearever pen. The chrome cap is encircled with eight grooves. The small gold nib is a fine, but shows no markings whatsoever. Love those old, lever cheapies !

For me, today:

1) and 2) Parker Vector (yellow), F nib, with KWZI Green-Gold #2, and Pelikan M400 Brown Tortoise, with diluted Noodler's Walnut. Those were for my journal entry (the second pen because I ran out of ink in the first one about 1/3 of the way down the second page). But don't feel bad about the Vector -- that ink ran for about three weeks, since the Vector was one of the pens I brought with me on my trip down south in March.

3) Parker 41 M(?) nib, with diluted Quink Black (for a check register entry).

4) Pelikan M200 (green marble), M nib, for random notes and a shopping list.

Pelikan 20 Silvexa. A cartridge filler with a medium gold nib. A purchase from Adam11 that just arrived yesterday. Quite nice.

Montblanc 149 (1967) inked with Iroshizuku Tsuyu-kusa

Montblanc 344 inked with Montblanc Midnight Blue

Montblanc green striated 144 inked with Hieronymus Green 01

Montblanc 1266 inked with Montblanc JFK

 

Took these to the MB boutique in Dallas--they were thrilled to see these older pens and wondered aloud why MB doesn't still make pens like that.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Just picked up a Lamy Vista Demonstrator. So far I find the medium nib on it better than the pilot metro medium.

The pen in rotation today Ranga Zeal in Matte finish Red-Yellow Ripple ebonite with Matte finish Acrylic. Using the same inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo.



And inspiration for today comes from one of the most iconic Architect of our times, Zaha Hadid. She was the first woman to win Pritzker Award.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
