Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Akkerman #09 Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indigo

 

This is review #29 in my series. Here's the YouTube video:

 

After-video comments: Color in the zoom is somewhat close. Couldn't get the screen capture to cooperate. :) Has partial water resistance. Dry time

 

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

Good to know that it does okay in an EF nib. This is one of the first Akkermann inks I ever bought, back when there was an FPN group buy a few years ago.

Yep, does a good job of lubricating the EF - just comes out a paler color (in my dry-ish EF, at least).

 

Sounds almost like an electronic typewriter on auto.

 

Love it.

Thank you.

Well, in order to avoid contradicting myself.... If you don't have this ink, you don't have enough BBs. :D

 

And if you don't have an Akkerman bottle, you need one! ;)

Oh, no argument there about either statement (if you had told me a decade ago I'd have so many blue-black inks I'd have said you were nuts :rolleyes:).

And of course the Akkerman bottles are just awesome -- I remember several years ago someone was looking to get some empty Akkerman bottles and I'm afraid I just laughed at the person and said "Yeah, good luck with that...."

Hmmm. Wonder how this ink would do in the cheapie Sheaffer Fineline I picked up in a big antiques mall a year or two back.

Oh, this is becoming an interesting thread, making me pull out inks I haven't used for a while.

I don't know anything about the Sheaffer Fineline, but it was in my Pilot VP for years and did just fine, and that's not a pen you can just tear apart to deep clean. I gave that pen a rest for several fills of my Penmanship, but filled it back up during my previous fill (Robert Oster Honey Bee) - needed something a bit darker!

 

Erm, not to spill the beans, but those inks bribed me. :P

Great job LIz. This seems to me the type of ink I enjoy from afar :) ..... It's great when a pen and ink can get a happily ever after...... Mine are still teenagers and have not yet learned to settle down ;)

+1 on that. That's a pretty funny description of pen/ink combos.

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 260µm.

      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
