Recommended Posts

Saturation week: use the most saturated ink you have.

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.

This may or may not be my most saturated ink, but it's certainly one of them, and one I haven't used yet. :)

I discovered after making and uploading the above that this ink prefers Clairefontaine paper, where it shows more blue than on the Rhodia I usually use (and used above).

 

The pen in a Fountain Pen Revolution Indus with their flex nib. Diamine 1864 Blue Black (for the search engine). This is my first use of this ink, and I won't be buying a bottle.

I was going to go with my favorite super saturated ink, Rouge Hématite, but I think I've used it earlier. So I'll go with his sister, Émeraude / Esmeralda / Emerald of Chivor. I have filtered out most of the sparkles since the ink alone is what I love most:

And naturally, we have to have a glamour shot of the sheen...

So if 10 ml is 300% would 20 ml be 150% of normal?

I was going to fill a pen with Organics Studio Henry David Thoreau Walden Pond, but instead I chose Diamine Sargasso Sea: :) If nothing else it's a shorter name. :D

Cornflower is a wonderful ink! To me, it looks more rich and elegant than BSB (the latter being more vivid and bright). Nice choice!

Blatantly copied from a gorgeous piece of art by Joseph Kosuth (1945). 276 (On Color Blue), 1993

The words and original artwork spoke a lot about saturation to me.

"276. But don’t we at least mean something quite definite when we look at a colour and name our colour-impression? It is as if we detached the colour-impression from the object, like a membrane.
(This ought to arouse our suspicions)"

Ink: Private Reserve American Blue

(Paper was lit with a torch to emphasise the colour)

I love Cornflower too. I bought a TWSBI ink bottle specially to put mine into. :wub:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
