Organic Studios Nitrogen is an incredible color that is vibrant, saturated, and "retina searing" (at least to my eyes). I think on some websites it is listed as a royal blue but to my eyes it is an amazing blue that leans ever so slightly to the green spectrum. I know many love the sheen but I think it distracts from the color of the ink - not to mention it never dries and smears forever even after a month for me.

 

Has anyone found an alternative to the this ink for the underlying color??? - I don't need the sheen, which I don't think has ever been replicated! I've been trying to find an accurate picture of it but all of them look straight blue. I will keep looking. I think if you have used the color you know what I mean. Thanks!

I think the retina shearing quality comes out of its sheen actually. It is the combination of contrasting brights that make it so.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

      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

      @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
