Use the brightest, most vibrant, most retina-searing ink you have.

 

Bonus points for writing a letter with it to Amberlea!

 

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

Click here to read more about this community project. Links to the two previous links can be found there too.

Next week: Japanese ink.

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

Oh, a class of inks that speaks to me, as well! Of all the inks I have, my current favorite retina-searer is Sailor IRORI.

On the front of the card, is Titian's "Portrait of a Man in a RED Cap" (1510) from the astounding Frick Collection in New York (I was there last week and saw it in person!). [i had to crop the photo due to the unpleasant glare on the shiny cardstock surface...]

You both's choices would have been mine if I hadn't used these two inks in the previous weeks!

Here is my eye-searer.

Maybe not everyone agrees, but it's enough for me! I even need a little soothing right on the page...

I love all of you!!!!! This is a great birthday present!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

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

Herbert-

The street I grew up on, is named after that particular artist. Titian. The other street in the neighborhood was named after an artist too. You might have heard of him - DaVinci. As in Leonardo.

Fancy neighborhood! I love the sound of Titian Street!

 

LOVE, love, love that Fire Opal color. Will have to investigate where to find an ink so wonderful!

I went with Solferino. Here it looks purple, but it isn't.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
