El Dorado - Kwzi

hi, I'd also go for IG Turquoise ;) But I'm not the expert, I've never used Tsuki-yo. Any support on that issue from @Lgsoltek or @Cyber6? ;)

IG Turquoise is your best bet. :lol:

 

Since is IG and very paper dependent, it can go very dark.... but with the right paper, is a very close doppelganger to Tsuki-Yo. ;)

Preliminary dip tests -- and then trying the Tsuki-yo in a couple of different pens (and getting varied results)... I'm just going to buy more Tsuki-yo and use it in the pens where the color works for me. Hahaha. I will buy other colors from KWZI (compiling a list and hoping to cross paths with Mr & Mrs KWZI before too long).

It is a cool name. I'm glad we have Mrs KWZI there, to stop Mr KWZI from naming it Yellow #1. LOL :lol:

 

 

DITTO!

 

Thanks again Vis for a great review.

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

Struggled to get a Lamy Vista [F] to bring out the shading, but today it is both sunny outdoors and in the pen. Must say I see this ink as a good colour to add to a sketch.

Just got my bottle of this. I just say that my bottle is no where near this orange. It's a yellow brown with a slight orange tint that only shows up in very saturated spots. And it has also been fairly dry in the pen ive used it in.

Here are some comps of El Dorado. It's very close to J Herbin Ambre de Birmanie (top). El Dorado is not nearly as orange as the photo appears. Much browner than Apache Sunset. I included Fire Opal on the bottom just to compare another orange. Not very orange at all. Added a little Grapefruit to a sample and it looks much better. Still kind of disappointed with this one.

Just ordered a bottle of this. Seems somewhat similar to Apache Sunset, and of all my Noodler's it is the one that gets used most.

Glad this review came back up - El Dorado is on my wishlist since Lgsoltek posted a few nice pictures of it in this month's ink combo project (Check for February - Hangin' in the shade in CRV)

Awesome review from Visvamitra as always, and the comparisons above by Dannystr78 are great too - 4 beautiful inks

      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
