Eagle Inc: Blue/black Ink (Powder)


ImCannibal

Recommended Posts

I bought a little glass pot of this ink powder from a local antique dealer about a year or so back and have been monkeying with different concentrations. It's a versatile ink depending on how dark you want it to be. I have always mixed it in small plastic needle bottles with distilled water (other than the time I used tap water as an experiment, which resulted in an odd green tint to the ink).

It dries well, lubricates well, and has a unique look.

I live in AZ where the tap water is nothing short of... disgusting. It's allegedly potable. I wonder what my tap water would turn your ink - something beyond green.

 

Your scan is very blue. Do you have more description of the ink's color? I love blue inks.

Try using the Upload function up at the top of this page. Or, add any image uploaded e.g. with Photobucket or Flickr, using the "Image" button in the middle of the screen bar, to the right of B, I, and U. That's better than using the Attachment function (offered at the bottom of the page of a new Topic or Reply you would post), although the Attachment feature does work well. Attachments here are limited in number so that sooner or later, you would have no more space or have to remove some. Both that Upload or Attachment way of adding any picture will do it better than what you are using. No harm meant, but for visualization of any ink color, the paper has to end up more or less white (at most yellow)... especially to avoid a blue on blue....

IM Cannibal, I have some of this ink too. Let's write each other.

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

I'll try using the scanner at my work during my lunch break tomorrow.

Great! All best wishes. A good scanner is an important part of this business....

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
