I spent some quality time with my Hobonichi, and we determined we can publish a video on 2 or 3 Fridays a month, so my new schedule is every Tuesday and some Fridays. :D

 

Yeah, definitely not blurple. Unfortunately, I don't have the tools or skills for fabulous color reproduction. The closeup is pretty, uh, close.

My regards and thanks to Hobonichi...... :P

Yeah, it reminds me a bit of the 54th Massachusetts without the shading

You had me at Sherlock! :lol:

 

I'm glad it's a rich blue and not some dreary color aimed at replicating his Inverness Great Coat or Deerstalker. I love tweed but I've yet to see an ink that can show all the colors of a good tweed at once.

(Is Sailor Ink Studio taking any suggestions?)

Sounds like you need a sample!

 

And I have no ins with Sailor Ink Studio - if I did, my house would be overflowing with ink. ;)

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 265µm.

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
