OH MY, yours looks so much better than it did for me.

 

I still have to scan my results.

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

Since it has gotten warm here, even I have had enough of it in FPs. It dried up good an tight in my usually unflappable E95S so I cleaned it out thoroughly and am just dipping a Nikko G nib from an oblique holder.

I will get stuff uploaded and a sample sent off to you.

I work in a kitchen, and like to use inks that don't run at all when wet. I only have 3 of those at the moment, De Atramentis Document Fog Grey and Fuchsia, and R&K Dokumentus Magenta (ok, I'm doing this from memory, and have had a glass of wine and am old, so forgive me if these names are a bit wrong, they sound about right though). I have a few other partly-waterproof inks (IG, Noodlers) but they all lose some of their pigment.

 

OK, I have just finished a fill of the Fuchsia, so I've gone with Fog Grey.

 

 

It's a pretty colour, quite blue.

This is after a soak in a bowl of water. No colour loss at all.

And just for fun, here it is after a rubdown with some bleach. The colour has certainly faded, but still very clear.

It's not a wildly exciting colour, but the waterproofocity is superb.

Wow! That's a beautiful color! I adore blue blacks. I didn't expect that from a color called Fog Grey.

 

How "safe" are the document inks?

Firstly, thanks Liz B for the pictures of De Atramentis Document Fog Grey, I really NEED some of that ink. :rolleyes:

 

I am still playing catch up, and here is my entry for Week 22. Reading the posts has been illuminating as I now know that I have quite a few waterproof/water resistant inks. (The Pilot Blue Black ink is in a Pilot Elite 95S not a Pilot Elite 5 as written. )

And after soaking part of the page in a container of water:

I enjoyed this sub aquatic round up. I also like Noodler's-Bad Belted Kingfisher and agree with you. I also have Bad Black Moccasin, and Zhivago. Another one I have is Sailor-Kiwa guro. I haven't been keeping up with these types of threads in order to do one in time. I read that Aurora-Blue black has some water resistance but I haven't tested it. I recently tried Noodler's-Green Marine, and it is water resistant I believe. I like the color and behavior of it too.

 

I prefer water resistant inks, but most of the colors I have are not resistant whatsoever, which annoys me.

OOOOOOO I love the flip flops!

 

I love them too -- AND the color. I really need to try this one even though I've been kinda underwhelmed by the other inks in the line that I've tried because of the spread and bleedthrough at times.

I knew I liked this sample Lgsotek (THANK YOU) so kindly sent from having written only just a few lines with it. Now that I've sketched with it I'm besotted !

I first drew the outlines then used a water brush to wash over the lines. Initially to simply illustrate how waterproof it is but then I gently dipped the brush into the vial gently adding colour to the lines. An almost milky quality came over the sketch whilst hardly disturbing the lines below. :wub:

For lovers of murky greens, this is a must have and for me will be the replacement for the sadly extinct KWZ Pea Green.

      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
