Comparison Of Scabiosa, Barossa Grape, And Tenebris Purpuratum?


ENewton

Recommended Posts

Hello, ink explorers.

 

I recently tried a sample of Robert Oster Barossa Grape and noticed that it bore some resemblance to Rohrer and Klingner Scabiosa, an ink I often use during the autumn months. I also remember a review of Franklin Christophe Tenebris Purpuratum, which suggested not only an initial resemblance but also a subsequent coppering, an effect I have noticed with Scabiosa. (I expected Scabiosa to darken, but it didn't. Instead it faded and turned more red.)

 

Would anyone be interested in collaborating on a comparison of these three inks? My idea would be to create and share a CRV comparing the inks when fresh, and then to look at the same page several months later, to take note of any changes.

 

Apologies if this is not an appropriate way to invite co-reviewers.

Hiya. Out of these 3 I only have Tenebris Purpuratum. i can confirm that it dries reddish. I haven't used it much for this very reason, but can write something with it and either take photos/ scan or send to you if you want.

      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
