Here's my fifth of these comparisons / contrasts thanks to @amberleadavis! :) As before, the paper is 52gsm cream Tomoe River.  Also, I left the images big so any who wish can zoom in and see color in detail.  Color reproduction isn't too bad - I describe any variation in the ink list at the bottom.

 

Photograph (this seems to have better color reproduction):

Ink List:

  • Private Reserve Tanzanite (cartridge)
  • Guest boxes: DSS (Diamine Sargasso Sea?), PRAB (Private Reserve American Blue) NEW and OLD
  • De Atramentis Pigeon Blue (looks a little more blue in the images than in real life - it's teal)
  • Diamine Red Dragon (came out brownish on paper, though that doesn't show in the images)
  • Sailor Kujukuri Coast Hamanasu (looks too purple in the scan)
  • Kobe #28 Lilly of the Valley (looks more muted in all images than in real life)
  • Sailor Nioi Sumire (also looks more blue in the images than in real life - it's blurple)

 

I particularly like Sailor Kujukuri Coast Hamanasu with this ink.  Kobe #28 isn't too bad either.

I love Blurples.

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

Clearly you were made for capes and crowns in the royal color! ;)

      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
