You'll notice a bit of color variation from the 540 to the other pens - it's from the pressure I was using. -_-

I would have done more, but at the time, I just had this one little piece.

Excellent review, Julia! Robert Oster has been quite prolific lately. I'd deplete my funds pretty rapidly if I ordered all the ones I like in his Signature line.

Nicely presented review, thank you Julia. I currently have this ink in my pen, and am really enjoying it. It's a lovely green colour, with a freshness that really suits springtime (which is the current season in my part of the world).

Thanks. I'm so excited about the American Gods series that I've been rereading a lot of Neil Gaiman's work.

It was springtime here (in Texas) until today when it started snowing! Now I have to use the ink as a fond memory of nice of weather. Sigh...

Cucumber! I've always had a strange craving for cucumber-colored ink and here it is. Happy sigh.

Thanks for the review. I had been wondering what this one was like. It's nice, but I think it's a little light a color for me. (My wallet thanks you too, BTW....)

Excellent review! I tried a sample of this and found it very satisfying. Of inks in this color range, however, I prefer Pilot Iro. Chiku-rin.

I'm sure a lot of people will love this one,, but simply looking at that color makes me want to sneeze. It's like my worst hay fever nightmare.

      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
