What's Your Fantasy Ink

[ENewton]

Misbehave how? Damage or stain the pen? Using Pilot Prera and a Pelikan M400.

 

I have used Shigure in a Pilot Prera and a Waterman Gentleman and had no trouble, either with flow or with cleanup. I cannot comment on whether it would stain a clear eye-dropper pen, but it hasn't stained my converters.

 

I haven't tried it in a vintage lever or button filler and probably will not, because it is saturated enough that I would worry about being able to flush it completely.

Noodler's Habanero without all of the normal problems of Noodler's inks - most notably infinite dry time.

 

If Sailor could make the same color of Habanero, I would throw my wallet at them.

 

amazing shading

AGREED. And maybe with a touch of sheen, while they're at it?

I did an ink droplet test of that and Apache Sunset.. a fat drop mind you... it was still damn after 3 days.

My fantasy ink would be a red version of Diamine Registrars. I've used it for a decade in a pen, without any of the flushing so often recommended, and never had a problem. Scabiosa is close, but not red enough (and not quite as completely hassle free as the Diamine is).

Well this is an old thread, but I officially have a fantasy colour. We just bought a Mazda6- my first choice was the Deep Crystal Blue Mica, but we ended up with our second choice. Soul Red Crystal. I only have one red ink, Diamine Oxblood, but if I could find an ink that looked like Mazda's Soul Red Crystal.. wow that would be something.

Add in a touch of Sargasso Sea, and you're all set!

 

 

OOOO YES YES YES

Hmmm. You might try De Atramentis Dante Alighieri/Ruby Red. Hard to tell, though -- in the video, the color seemed to vary depending on the environment....

Don't know until I try, and I will! Thanks. Yeah, the paint on the car is designed to change from light to dark depending on ambient light. It's kind of liquid- Like I said, I originally wanted a deep classy blue, but wow. The red on that car is fantastic.

I use Private Reserve Purple Mojo. My present fantasy ink is the same but fast drying, totally waterproof, non-fading, and chemically bleachable.

KWZ IG Red #3 might be something to look into. A bit wetter than Diamine Registrars, but a really nice red that darkens a bit when oxidized.

 

 

As for the original question, my fantasy ink would be a dark brown Iron Gall ink, there are a number of light brown IG's out there but not a solid darker one...
