R&K scabiosa is nice, especially after the color changes. I found that I really love Black Swan in English Roses! With my dip pens, it comes out almost blood red. I didn't think that's what I was looking for but I love it!

Kingdom Note (Mushroom) Mycena-pura

 

KWZ Ink Brown Pink

 

Both inks are wonderful options though KWZI, I find, is a wetter ink, but that lends itself to wonderful shading and it's far more affordable than the former.

 

Rouille d'Ancre, I believe, is more salmon in hue, but when the ink is applied generously, it takes on a dusky, vintage pink appearance.

 

I'll try to post some samples later today or tomorrow.

Have been looking for Mycena-pura for a few months now, but always seems to be out of stock/in negotiations. Any idea if you can get it somewhere other than kingdomnote.com?

Scan eBay everyday or the FPN Classifieds-- takes all of one minute out of your day. You'll hit gold eventually. :)

 

I have the ink and while I enjoy it more now than I did before (bought a bottle, didn't like it, sold it, repurchased back in December), I do believe there are more attainable, affordable alternatives to it. I noted a week ago that I'd post some sample swabs, but my scanner isn't working :(. I'll try to fix it today and get the swabs uploaded.

Ink, a drug.

      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
