Interesting chromatography: a lot of haloing/outlining. I really like Oster inks (one is my favorite out of all inks) and would use them more, but very much dislike their lack of water resistance :(

@Intensity:

I do not test for water resistance, but your observation is right. Nothing is left at the line, so I do not suspect any water resistance. As comparison you can see the chromo of Noodler's Walnut were there still is a line visible.

Thank you, I've learned that from your explanation in a different thread. It has been a very useful indicator, and I really appreciate your chromatography samples now!

Have you done a review of Waterman's Absolute/Havana Brown? It does a good deal of outlining with a wet flow pen, even on thin lines. I like it a lot.

I will try to do the review of Waterman Havannah Brown on short notice

Sorry, I did not mean to rush you! Please take your time and focus on enjoying writing out the reviews of the inks YOU want to review :D

I don't mind a teal. At the moment I will stick with Deep Sea.

 

Not a paradigm for naming consistency, Oster inks.

      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
