Let's try something different this week. Mix an ink you love and an ink you dislike at 1:1 ratio. As LizEF reminds us, don't forget to let your mixture settle for a while before using it in a pen, in case of unexpected interaction between the inks! If you're not sure, use a dip pen. Or you may just use the two inks in separate pens instead.

 

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.

I created two 1:1 mixtures yesterday. How long should they be allowed to sit to observe for problems before adding to an inexpensive, replaceable pen (i.e. Pilot Metro)?

I'd say if you haven't noticed anything strange (goo, sediment, etc.) by now, you are good to go.

I went with two similar inks, hoping to make something I could use. I may have found it.

I think I prefer the original KWZ El Dorado. It looks a really nice colour and I didn't know any of them were scented. B)

 

I'm with you on the De A Matthias Claudius. :(

I don't think it's intentional —most of the KWZ inks I have have some type of aroma, some pleasant, some not so much. The Monarch and El Dorado do have a really pleasant caramel-like scent. Weird, right?

I think it's quite nice too!

I like it very much; it reminds me of the Kyoto TAG orange inks. I like it enough to have just ordered some Pelikan Pink ink, which was no small feat to find it, finally in carts & I believe I will be fine with the carts & not a bottle! It will be fun to "give this a go," after making sure I did have the #21 Kobe Temple Yellow.

This was fun!! I was surprised that this mixture did not gel as the Noodler's is opaque and thick to start with!

      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
