This week, use your favourite ink.

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.

Click here to read more about this community project. Links to the two previous links can be found there too.

Next week: Charlie the Unit of Sheen

Great choice, Liz. Looks wonderful in your drawing.

 

I'm having a really hard time narrowing down my choice of favorite. The one I'm thinking of right now is one I may have already used in an earlier week... Hmmmm.

We all know THE favourite doesn't exist. That word has to come in plural.

That's what I was thinking. No way to have just one favorite! So many inks, so little time... :D

 

Plus, it was confirmed sometime earlier in the year: it's OK to repeat inks. ;)

Thanks! That ink works really well with a water brush. (That probably doesn't speak well to its water-resistance, but that's OK.)

This ink just blew me away the first time I used it. I know taste in colour is very personal, but this one just makes me happy using it. I have a 2016 Pelikan M120 Green-Black that is almost constantly inked up with this. Pure joy!

OK. I'm not sure if I've used this ink previously, but no matter... True love is true love. And here he is...

As I've already posted many of my favourites in earlier weeks: Akkerman #10, Mont Blanc Midnight Blue (IG), KWZ Hunter Green, Sailor Rikyu Cha, Kyonoto Nurebairo etc. I thought I'd look at what ink I currently have loaded the most in my pens. Prussian Blue was in three pens. I love it and I use it all the time.

Another gorgeous drawing, Tas!

 

And I sense a strong theme of blue blacks - which I'm not surprised!

That's a great color —the red is a really rich, deep red. I have it loaded in a vintage Waterman 100-Year Pen (burgundy red).

This is a test ink, but loved the behavior and though I prefer blurples, the behavior made this the ink that ended up in all four pens when I was writing 55 pages per day of notes.

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 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Sydney Harbour Blue is trying to push Tekker Penman Sapphire from its perch at the top of my "Best Inks of All Time" list.

Both are in big Ranga eyedroppers with great nibs.

      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
