I am blown away by this ink. I have never been a fan of 'light' or pastelly inks, in fact I dislike them quite a bit. So having tried this ink, I repeat, I am blown away. This is a beautiful, beautiful blue-green ink, think distant shores and tropical waters with a million diamonds glinting away that make you long for a holiday and a cocktail while the sun warms... Back to the ink.. it is glorious, and the silver particles enhance it greatly. What I wasn't expecting was the crazy red sheen! What do you think?

This is your dream ink, Vis!

 

Hah! More like Vis' nightmare ink. ;) And I'm right there with him. Not a color for me. By any stretch of the imagination.

Thanks for the review, Bhavna -- inks I *don't* want are better for my wallet.....

You are welcome. I was shocked with how much I like this colour. I don't have anything like it and would have never bought anything with 'mint' in the name, but very pleasantly surprised.

Bhvana, I was thinking I didn't need any more inks... and here you go. Thanks for another great review!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Great review, thank you :) Your drawings are awesome and show the shimmer so well. :wub:

Thank you!! I was trying to find something original that showed shading etc. I'm really glad it worked.

      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
