Thanks Jens :)

Ok. So Gutenberg G10 is produced by another company and the bible ink by Gutenberg museum. Is that correct?

Anyway the Bible ink can be added to the list.... :)

Let me quote myself:

//Gutenberg Urkundentinte G10 is offered by Läufer Gutenberg - this one came from the shop of Gutenberg foundation.

//I don't know who made this ink for them.

//They also have an even stronger ig ink for dip pens, without any dye. It is labeled "Bach's Tinten"...

 

Best

Well, someone has to review it here first. :P

Ok, ok... :-)

 

Cepasaccus has once reviewed the G10 in our german forum Penexchange, those times it looked like a true black:

Thanks for the link Jens.

So is it brown or black? It seems you have to do, two reviews or a comparison ? :lticaptd: :D

 

Hi,

 

yes, it takes two...

 

I have two bottles G10 from 2018 and 2019, both are brown-black.

If you want black, add some blue-black!

Yep, a very good true sepia color (think of the cuttlefish/sqiud "ink" here, not what ink makers call sepia sometimes), I like and recommand it.

Really deserves a review. ;-)

Not bone dry ink as the bible ink, but still very dry like Diamine Registrar's.

Ah, so this is more like the old manuscripts, I've seen......

This is from a XIVth century manuscript....

Just wondering why KWZ Ink IG Mandarin reviews aren't listed. I found a couple, dating back to the end of 2015 and start of 216, in the main ink review index.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Although I haven't yet checked out everything here, we might want to append data on Stipula IGs as re:

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/315611-stipula-iron-gall-inks/

 

 

I wasn't sure. As the thread is not titled as a review, and it takes a few posts to get to the actual review, it may be disorienting for people finding it via the Index.

 

lapis, is there any way I can edit my original post to update this thread? Tacking reviews on, especially when there is discussion interleaved between them, is not making this all that useful a resource.

Oh, but it still is. You're linking to all the reviews you know of, and putting them in a single collection, so others don't have to replicate your effort in finding it; they just have to scan this thread thoroughly, instead of having everything already filtered for them and reduce the effort required of them even further.

 

Making something entirely effortless (and/or free of personal costs) for the user is not at all the definition of usefulness of a resource, in my opinion. It's up to the individual user to decide whether the payload is worth the cost to use a resource that enables them to do a task or accomplish an objective. By tacking reviews on to the end of the thread, you are continually increasing the value of the resource.

 

Thank you for your ongoing effort!

This my solve the problem. In the following thread the OP updated the list periodically, rather than trying to update the original.

  1. You're right. This whole thread isn't really a review but a list of inks (all of which deserve a review or at least a mention of the ink in question) somewhere else. That's why I have just moved it (this thread) to Inky Thoughts. (A real ink review has to cover one single ink only.)
  2. No, there is no way you can edit any post of yours after 24 h. The only way to change anything in regard to a thread of yours after 24 h is to add a new reply yourself, hoping that those of us who like and/or need such new information will come back and have a new check. That would definitely continue to make your thread a valuable resource. Another way -- after a more lengthy time, e.g. one year -- would be to create a whole new topic, w/a including a link to the previous version.

Thanks lapis. Over the break, I'll do a proper update so all of the information is consolidated into a single post.

      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..

      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
