Inks That Help Solve Problem Pens

Thank you, Sandy1.

 

 

Hi,

 

You're welcome!

 

I consider the ink that comes in the bottle to be a starting point.

 

The ink can be taken out to dance with different pens and papers, and/or manipulated in various ways. Manipulation is especially handy for those without an array of pens and papers, and decline to greatly expand their array of inks. I had but one pen and one ink for years and was happy with that - let's just write, but if Curiosity Cat perches on your shoulder...

 

Wheee!

I am, indeed, one of those people who will never have dozens of inks, and I especially appreciate inks that provide a distinctly different experience depending on the pen and paper.

Sailor Souten isn't just a beautiful ink, it also seems to make every pen I've tried it with glide: from a Muji to a Pelikan m600 to a Platinum Cool, it's uncanny, like writing with a micro pillow of ink between the nib and the paper. The only downside is the slight funky smell, and the dosage gizmo inside the bottle doesn't seem to fill pens completely.

 

I also finally "discovered" the reverse of this thread's title: a pen that makes the best of an ink, I pressed a little on a Sailor Pro Gear's nib, just separating the tines a little, and it became much wetter, making Tsuyu Kusa look way more saturated.

      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
