My largest bottle is a 4.5 oz (133ml) Noodler's behemoth containing Heart of Darkness. My Parker 51 is always filled with it and ready to write.

I've been waiting for this bottle to appear!

 

Wow :) It really is huge.

I haven't even opened it. I have about half of a 70ml bottle left, so at the rate I go through ink, I probably never will!

I don't have a 1 litre Daytone bottle, but perhaps these will do...

My largest bottle of unmixed ink still remains my Akkerman #10 :wub:

For a moment I thought it was Akkerman #28. (Who knows, maybe it is!)

I adore your writing and admire your handwritten posts.

 

Your writing style is natural and legible and most importantly, real.

Massive fan.

Largest bottle I have is GvFC Hazelnut Brown.

I love the colour. It usually drifts my mind towards cakes... :)

Finally got a chance to scan stuff in this evening. It's been a week....

4 hours at the car dealership, waiting on repairs after an idiot light came on (less than a week after the same light came on -- apparently for something completely different from the reason it came on last week).

Many hours trying to get an answer about the format required for a newsletter arts issue article (the current editor doesn't bother to read her email regularly... :angry:; it took me having to basically "shame" her on FB to get her attention). Oh, and the published email for the guy she's supposedly training up to replace her was wrong.... And then many *more* hours trying to format the artwork (originally four-to-a-page images saved as .pdf files -- they had to be re-saved as a bunch of individual .jpgs so I could adjust the size and increase the saturation level), and then copied and pasted (one by one) with added captions. [The plus side of all this, as I said when I sent her the final, proofread, document, is that I now understand working with iPages a LOT better....]

And then we spent most of the afternoon TODAY (Saturday) at the funeral for the mother of a couple of friends of ours....

So....

I actually ended up picking 2 inks for week 6: one from one of my *actual* largest bottles -- Noodler's Heart of Darkness(4-1/2 oz. bottle); and one from what HAD been my largest bottle for both size and capacity, but decanted into 4 oz. Boston rounds -- vintage Skrip Peacock (a 3/4 full pint bottle found a couple of summers ago in an antiques mall outside Clarion, PA).

fpn_1486875324__ink_of_the_week_6.jpg

Both were used for journal entries. I used HoD nearly every time I had to write something permanent (writing checks to pay bills, addressing envelopes, and so on); Skrip Peacock got used for my QotW entry: fpn_1486875673__qotw_2017_6jpg.jpg

(but I'm not sure that the scanner picked up the crazy red sheen that Skrip Peacock was showing on the creme colored Tomoe River paper...). I played around with a copy of the scan to try and reproduce without losing the amazing color in other respects: fpn_1486875952__qotw_2017_6_detail.jpg

​but I could either get true color or color adjusted (as in the detail) to try and catch the red....

Ruth, WOW! Thank you.

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

I just received two new bottles of Montblanc inks - one in Burgundy Red and the other in Lavender Purple. These are my largest bottles at present.

Ruth, I love how that Skrip Peacock looks. Why is vintage stuff always so pretty and more interesting than the modern stuff?

And your uncial is lovely as well.

 

Thanks. I wish that the sheen could have come through in the scan. I had thought the Diamine Turquoise was a close match to the Skrip, but I'm not sure it sheens.

      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
