Parker. Simply because quink line is practical for my writing and the blue black is my workhorse ink. Got it from the start of my pen realm life and will die with one placed in my casket.

@Caronann Not an entry, but just want to acknowledge and thank you for your generosity. (In case you really wanted to know, my favourite brand of ink is Platinum.)

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.

Hi!

 

I just joined today and am fairly new to the hobby. What got me into it was seeing flex writing with Noodler’s Apache Sunset. I immediately bought a cheap Amazon Basics Medium fountain pen, a converter, and a bottle of that specific ink. So I have to say that is my favorite!


I would love an entry.

 

Thanks!

Platinum Blue-Black and Platinum Carbon Black and are exemplars of blue-black iron-gall ink and waterproof pigmented black ink, respectively. I feel the former is a strong, somewhat sheeny blue ink first, iron-gall ink second. Platinum Classic Ink line of colourful iron-gall inks are excellent, too! Even Citrus Black has really grown on me. The only one I haven't tried is Sepia Black. And I just ordered all of the Platinum Mix-Free Inks.

Love Akkerman Inks. Just received my bottles of Shocking Blue and SBREBrown.  The Xmas Eve is very nice as is Moonview. Well behaved and nice sheen.

Good to know. I haven't really played with these. The bottle I have was a PIF here.  I have used R&K IG ink and didn't care for them

You really aught to try Parker Quink Blue-Black. Maybe it's my favorite since it's not super bright? Idk, but I live on this ink.

      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
