Wow....I think you're selling me PR Velvet Black! Look at that sheen! And the chroma....I'm a sucker for a multi-hued chroma....hubba hubba.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

I'm glad you like this ink, but, aren't all black inks look like this in chromatography? (I don't have other black to compare and I'm bad at science, so...)

Yes, based on this review I bought it at the pen show.

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

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Gee...I dunno! I have a few blacks, Quink, Waterman, JHerbin, Chesterfield, but never chroma'd any. Now I guess I will have to.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!

Now this was interesting. I did a paper towel chroma with four of my bottled blacks, and the results were not what I expected. The Levenger Raven Black was...black. And that's all!

 

The others, far more colorful. Is the Montblanc even a black? It writes like one. Waterman and Quink seemed very close in color components, but in daylight, and not scannage, Quink's corona was slightly more intense orange. Still, I don't think any of them were as much of a rainbow as the PR Velvet!

For some bizarre reason, I love an ink with a complex chroma. Even if it just writes black, it's like I'm writing with a Secret Formula.

I always love complex colors, but didn't know why until I read your comment... :lol:

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
