Flex-Pen Ink Review: "Sailor Ink Studio - #162"

Thank you for the review!  (Not my color, but I liked seeing it in action).

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Kewl, glad you liked seeing it!
It is one of my new favorite inks. Especially since discovering that my bottle of "J.Herbin - Vert Atlantide" is far too wet to use with my Opus-88-SODF.

Try adding a little bit of water (about 5%) to the Herbin, you might find it makes all the difference.

Drooling … Wow! That’s a beautiful ink. I like the colour, the shading… totally my type of ink. I totally enjoyed the MB Kipling ink, and am now really curious about this one. Another one for the “must have” list 😉

Oh my goodness...really?
I can't wait to try this!
Now the challenge of waiting til this fill of #162 is finished...lol.
I'll try it before I load and test #140 with some of the old 'lightning'.

Very nice review!  Thank you for all the time it too for you to do this.  

 

This is almost an ink you would use in early spring, when plants are emerging from their long winter's rest.  It evokes Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Spring.

      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
