This was tricky first topic... At least in my opinion.

 

But here we go! As Visvamitra pointed out, lots of reds...

Nice one. I believe Levenger has stopped making this ink. I'm glad to have grabbed a bottle before it becomes unavailable.

I love this one also. It looks redder and less brownish than Levenger Pomegranate (not showing on this particular photo). I think I like this more.

Alas, my scanner under-represents reds. I took some pictures on my phone, but I can't get them onto my computer (yet).

 

I used to have a scanner that only had one version of blue. Everything from Sky Blue to deep Navy Blue came out as the same mid-range Blue.

It would say to me "Blue? You've got blue. What, you want hues with that?"

I know. Bums me out. I have less than half a bottle left. Haven't been able to locate a second.

Here's mine: MB Leo Tolstoy LE. It was a lucky find at Fountain Pen Hospital last week (there was still one or two bottles still there as of December 30th, in case someone else wants to try their luck... B)).

ETA: The scans show it a little more blue and a little less teal then the ink actually is, but it's still definitely blue.

:lol: -- Yes he does. He made grumpy noises as we were leaving his mom's for the roughly 4 hour trip to Manhattan about did I *really* need to go to FPH. And I said: "After making a special trip out to Sturbridge and back, in traffic jams both directions to pick up the Christmas gifts for your family which YOU waited till the last minute to order -- and THEN went out the *next* morning to get your mother something the physical therapist said she needed to be using (and after all that she didn't WANT to use it until you told her that she was SUPPOSED to)? Oh Hell yeah I'm going to FPH...." And when I got back to his sister's apartment, I showed him the stuff I got. I mostly don't hide pen/ink purchases from him. Mostly.... :rolleyes:

Trying to decide if I'm going to refill the pen or flush it, though -- the problem with that nib is that it goes through a lot of ink, and I don't have a good feel for when it gets low. Which seemed to be a fair amount over the past week.... Plus, I have a lot of pens inked up at the moment. And 51 weeks worth of ink projects left....

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

LOVE IT.

 

Intriguing to see that your mix of disappointments looks very similar to my concoction of failed mixes. :)

 

Perhaps this is the way forward ?!

      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
    • adamselene
      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
