Earlier today I ordered a Pilot 78G in Teal and would like an ink to match. It's the broad (actually italic) nib so something with a bit of shading would be great.

 

New pen happy dance in Western Australia. :)

Will work for pens... :unsure:

Easy - Sailor Yama-dori. Dirt cheap, INSANELY good manners on every single paper, down to the cheapest of cheap, and on good paper it has this ludicrous red sheen.

I've got Herbin 1670 Emerald of Chivor in mine. Not shady, but sparkly. B)

 

This one is also beautiful, indeed.

THANKYOU!!! I have just put in an order for the Sailor Yama-dori. All of the recommendations were very much appreciated and made the choosing between shady and sparkly difficult fun... (I do have Petrol already so it will get a go in rotation with the Yama-Dori - especially as my ink order will take about 5 weeks and the pen might be here in three and having made up my mind that I needed to order an ink I just couldn't bring myself to go with something I already have. Shhh...)

 

I expect I will give in to the sparkly Emerald of Chivor before long because um.. a pen needs a change after each cleaning.

 

Is there an Inks-Anonymous yet? :D

I definitely recommend Emerald of Chivor. And if you don't want a lot of the sparklies, don't shake the bottle and let them sit at the bottom. The ink itself —all by itself— is one of the most beautiful, rich colors I've ever seen, and the sheen and shading are phenomenal.

      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

      @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
