AndyYNWA Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This was tricky first topic... At least in my opinion. But here we go! As Visvamitra pointed out, lots of reds... http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv27/AndyYNWA/Misc/41FA6525-F382-4FCA-B64D-CE462C9068D6_zpsfshz1jvc.jpg YNWA - JFT97 Instagram: inkyandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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

dcwaites Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 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?" “Them as can do has to do for them as can’t. And someone has to speak up for them as has no voices.” Granny Aching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnin_Ute Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Nice one. I believe Levenger has stopped making this ink. I'm glad to have grabbed a bottle before it becomes unavailable.I know. Bums me out. I have less than half a bottle left. Haven't been able to locate a second.

inkstainedruth Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) 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... ). Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth 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.

inkstainedruth Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 -- 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.... 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....Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth "It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."
