Thank you for a great overview of these inks - I had never heard of them before. Looks like a good time to order a few of them... decisions... decisions... which ones to choose? The Tomoe River samples look great. Unfortunately, this seems hard to find in Europe, and shipping from the States is prohibitively expensive. Have to start googling to find a comparable alternative.

Shipping is from AUSTRALIA and the price is capped to $20AU for international shipping for up to 7 bottles. That is approx $13 euro for 7 bottles. - not too shabby. ;)

OH wow, thank you!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

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

This eBay seller is based in Austria so may be a better option for you. The price is very good too.

Their multiple pack listings are even better value.

Jade is pretty but I'm not at all keen on Royal Red or Lime Green.

 

 

Migo, can you post a sample writing of Royal Red?... I want to place an order before the May 7 deadline, and I am still deciding.

You have the Fire Engine Red, and the Burgundy, as have I, and looking at the samples on his eBay page, the Royal Red is the darkest of the three. But then, the picture of twenty samples shows it in between Fire Eng. Red and Burgundy.

Does that help? Probably not...

Here's a quick scribbled sample, on quite absorbent paper. It's a nondescript & rather wishy-washy red. It looks no better on Tomoe. Hope this helps a bit.....

Thanks... It helps. This line needs a very saturated DARK red. :wub: :wub:

I put my order in for 14 inks. I had real trouble narrowing it down. In the end I got basically every blue except the Australian sky, and then for non blues I got the khaki, the spearmint, and I gave a shot to the grape on evergreen as well. :)

 

Thanks for the pictures, Claudia!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      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

      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
