April: Coord-Ink-Ation - 2018 Monthly Ink Combo Project

Whoops, Kaweco Paradise Blue. Looks like it didn’t survive my artsy photo. (Mental note, doodle the name at both the top and bottom next time)

[Scribs]

Thanks

 

I might have to look into getting a bottle of that...

Not usually a "matchy matchy" person either. Bur right now, not counting demonstrators (and what doesn't look good in a clear demonstrator?) of which I have two inked. (TWSBI 580 B stub/Noodler's Apache Sunset & Eco 1.1 stub/KWZI Pine Green)

 

Other than those, I have three inked currently with matching characteristics. (Pelikan M200 Brown Marbled M/KWZI Brown #4, Esterbrook transitional J 2464/Akkerman Shocking Blue, Platinum 3776 Century Borgogne B/Diamine Merlot) The last gets a pretty steady diet of Merlot. I think Brown #4 would be good in too. Almost a Doppelganger for Merlot.

I'll be scanning impressions/reviews of KWZI Pine Green, Brown #4 and El Dorado shortly. They arrived yesterday and I have been using them. (Eco 1.1/M200 M/Al Star 1.1) and comparisons with Merlot and Apache Sunset.

I’ve got a package of cartridges. I don’t usually like to ink the same color twice in a row. But if I keep liking this ink it might well get a bottle. Maybe try it with an italic next...

I regularly match pens with inks. Here are a few:

Here is a scan of the same sheet, rather than a photo.

Some impressive matching going on! I am sooo late joining this party, but I'm determined to take part this year as well!

Funny —when I bought this pen many years ago, I thought that I must have been one of the few people who really liked the unusual color scheme (for Pelikan!). Who knew so many of us have one?!

RED lovers, unite! GORGEOUS! Love those inks and the pairing with those pens!

[Chrissy]

The Pelikan M400 white/tortie is obviously a popular pen.

 

I recommend always check on Amazon.de for their price before you buy one.

Love the pens and their inks ... really nice photos this month. Personally I like to match pens and ink, so I show what I'm using at the moment. On the photo, I show you my grail pen ... a Pelikan M101N Tortoiseshell Red, that's always inked up with a red/brown/purple ink. In this case, it's inked up with Mont Blanc William Shakespeare Velvet Red. A nice combination...

And here's another one that I'm currently using: the new Pelikan M120 Iconic Blue, inked up with Robert Oster Blue Water Ice.

Beautiful, subtle combinations, especially the unusual Oster ink with the Iconic Blue pen. Very nice!
