Thanks for the very extensive preview. A really good job of yours... but... I think that they (at Diamine) are overdoing it.....

They are a nice bunch. I was under the impression that I wasn't to post my 'written' example reviews until 14th October. Hey-ho.

I shall do it then, anyway.

You're welcome. :) I think that maybe what Diamine are aiming for is to make similar colours with both silver and gold particles, as a choice?? :)

I was also asked to not post any reviews until later, but Bureau Direct have already shown the colours, so they are out there. I thought a quick look was OK. :D

Exactly, but Phil said that the 'written' examples were to be held until the 14th.

So I should remove all of the writing and just leave the swabs then? The key word to me was 'reviews', and I'm not reviewing them. Yet

I can understand the Good Captain's position, but I don't think posting a couple of scribbled words a couple days early is going to rock the world to its core... and collapse western civilization.

 

Just leave 'em and if Diamine wants to be that tight-assed about it... they can keep their inks as far as I'm concerned.

 

Let's relax and enjoy life, the inks and the Buzzcocks. :D

In the general run of things, it doesn't really matter a damn but one comment Phil made was that BD had got the inks and had posted the colours, which was fine. It's just that he told me that any written examples should be posted from 14th October.

I was only following instructions.

Obviously leave them. I was only making an observation.

Hi Good Captain, et al,

 

I know you were only doing the right thing, GC. Be well and enjoy life. :)

Thanks Chrissy! I get the bright and wild ones for writing to grandchildren, the crazier the better. I think I need to get the golden ivy for myself.

 

Aren't the names of the inks fun! I like your swabs and lines of writings. I get a great idea of how they will look from how you do it.

 

I'll be curious to hear what you think of this group compared to the other two, in terms of ease of use.

I don't know how they think of all of the names, but yes they are fun. :D

 

This group of 10 as well the last group of 10 seem wetter. It's very easy to see the glitter in my writing and they flow much better through all nibs including F nibs.

 

My Parker 45 with the C nib regularly seems to be a 'stingy' ink flow pen, but I thought I would give it a go, and it seems to be really happy with Spearmint Diva

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
