And here is a screen of the final result, for those not interested in the video:

I was frustrated that my screen captures (and even the video sometimes) don't show the color accurately, so I decided to see if my USB microscope could do a better job of picking up the color, and it does. So from now on, I'll be including a zoomed in photo of the text so folks can see a more accurate representation of the color:

The "...a Dori" text is Sailor Yama Dori and the "Diami" text is Diamine Eau de Nil. All the rest of the text is De Atramentis Pigeon Blue.

Hey LizEF! Glad to see you got started on your EF nibs and inks video reviews. I was very surprised by the EF nib on my Faber-Castell Grip 2010. It shows some line variation, especially on tail letters. I got a Caran d’Ache 849 with EF nib, and while I see some of the same variation, the Faber-Castell is a nicer writer (for less money).

 

Now to start watching your reviews!

Every nib is different - but hopefully more reviews reduce the amount of guessing we have to do.

 

Hope you enjoy the reviews.

I do enjoy the reviews. Waiting for an appearance of Mr. Hippo!

I decided to keep it simple, so no Mr. Hippo - maybe he'll show up at the end of one sometime. :)

If you have De Atramentis Mint Turquoise, that should be the ink with an appearance of Mr. Hippo.

Ha! Nope, Inspired Blue is probably the closest I have to Mr. Hippo's feet. Didn't think of that at the time. Ah well, I have lots of greens, and he likes green. ;)

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 280µm.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
