Save Me From Buying More Orange Inks

Recommended Posts

I already own and love Diamine Autumn Oak, Diamine Pumpkin, Iroshizuku Yu-yake, and Fuyu-gaki is on its way. Do I need Sailor Kin Mokusei as well?

I read the title of this thread and thought "No, you need to buy ALL the orange inks and then make an awesome comparison, scan it and share it so I can be in awe with it."

 

Then I read the post and thought "Absolutely yes, buy it in my stead since I can't afford it yet, at least one of us should have it!"

 

So there you go. My honest thoughts. : )

Cheaper than Iroshizuku. Not by much, mind you...

In fact I think it's very fortunate that I find many Iroshizuku inks unappealing. I can actually name those that I'd buy: Tsuki-Yo, Fuyu-Shogun, Kiri-same, Tsukushi, Yama-guri and Ina-ho. I have strange tastes, I know.

Oooooh I just found out that the 50ml bottles are being replaced by 20ml bottles for the same price. Need to buy the old bottle RIGHT NOW.

I began my purchase of inks with ONE Brown, One Green & One orange; suddenly a purple crept in..........

 

I found I wasn't in love with my 1st Orange, it dried too "brown" to suit my requirement as the ONLY orange..........

 

Probably fifty ORANGES later, I have admitted a "few" of them are "almost right;" but I just ordered another one from the United Kingdom because "what if I like it better?"

 

(Sad to say, I may have MORE than 50 greens & browns, in addition to the oranges mentioned.)

 

YET, I wouldn't change any of it, because it is great to anticipate & experience each new color.

You should try Diamine Orange, and KWZ Grapefruit as well.

FP Ink Orphanage-Is an ink not working with your pens, not the color you're looking for, is never to see the light of day again?!! If this is you, and the ink is in fine condition otherwise, don't dump it down the sink, or throw it into the trash, send it to me (payment can be negotiated), and I will provide it a nice safe home with love, and a decent meal of paper! Please PM me!<span style='color: #000080'>For Sale:</span> TBA

​Ninja'd by JakobS - Kin-Mokusei and​ KWZ Grapefruit.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I love Grapefruit and it's honey-like scent :)

Dream, take one step at a time and achieve. :)

Sailor Kin mokusei is more of a yellow than an orange.

 

There are more good orange inks out there: Montblanc Lucky Orange

 

Darker: KWZ Monarch (Fontoplumo) Diamine Blood Orange, Diamine Blaze Orange

 

Then you could start to add a bit more red into them: Diamine Coral, or Peach Haze....

I recently acquired Kin-Mokusei. I'm a fan of Orange inks. I don't really care for yellowish oranges. Diamine Orange is a favorite. imho Kin-Mokusei Is A True Orange With Wonderful Shading. Id Recommend Getting It.

At the end of the day its just orange.

 

You cant use it at the office.

 

Some oranges are too light to be legible.

 

Dont buy it.

I don't actually NEED to write at work. I just jot down stuff on post-its and make notes because I like using my pens, but I can do it in any ink I prefer, they're my notes. Currently I am using Yama-budo, Momiji, Diamine Red Dragon and Pumpkin for them... I even have a pen with Diamine Sapphire Blue in case I need to sign an official document or something.

Just compared Kin-Mokusei with Diamine orange. KM is a bit yellowed n a bit less vibrant. Definitely like both though.

      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
