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.

      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
