Hi everyone,

 

This is a mix i came up with to add some color to my notes and yet I wanted something not too far from safe colors like blue and black.

It's a mix of

 

pelikan Edelstein topaz

Diamine Sapphire blue

Platinum Leaf green

 

hope you like it as well

Thank you northstar, glad you liked it :)

 

torstar,

 

I thought the scan was decent but i guess it's not or could it be my not so great handwriting:D? If it's the scan i can try shooting a photo tomorrow under daylight and if it's my handwriting then i could try again with lamy 1.1 nib:)

I'd be interested in the proportions used to achieve that color. I love teal/teal like ink shades.

 

Two of the blues are the base ( which is also a great mix i use a lot, P.E Topaz / D. Sapphire Blue 1:1 ratio) and i go by adding enough Leaf Green to the mix. For example above it was

 

0.5ml Topaz

0.5ml Sapphire

and 11 drops of leaf green which is around 0.3-0.4ml ( I used plastic transfer pipettes )

Really good looking colour! Thank you for sharing - and mixing!

It is in the range of "safe" (if by that I assume business use) but has elegant personality.

The doodlings around it diminish the handwriting, I'll block them out for a better look... :D

That's okay, you have a blue black and bright green.

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

      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
