I bought this one like 2 years ago and I haven't touched it. I will try to fill a pen with this ink this weekend. Thanks for the review!

@Cursive Child  Thank you for sharing!  I have enjoyed Krishna inks.  

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

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

Today, my upstairs neighbor; whom I set up with the basic fountain pen widths and flexes; just got back from India with the four Kirschna inks I wanted..

These 4 inks will be my first four sheen inks.

 

Paper Oxford Optic 90g.......a good economical paper. = to 90g Clairefontaine Velote`.

Using regular flex Pelikan 200's B nibs....not wetter semi-flex.

I thought a B would give me a decent width for   'to me' odd inks that might need a wider nib.

 

Moonview is a Dark blue with red sheen & some shading in B, 200-Amaythist ...have to check it out in M or F.

It's good to dig pens out of their Pelikan pen case.

 

I pulled out some Clairefontaine Triomphe  to check papers with.

 

On Triomphe paper the the Moonview 's red sheen is much less, the shading a tiny bit better...but not worth writing home about. I hadn't expected that.

 

I also did Night at Sea in B......and found for both inks, perhaps I should try a F and will do so with one of the two inks, Mumbai and Chennai sometime. I can always go up to M on the last ink. The ink is wetter than expected.

 

I'm new to sheen, paper makes a difference. I expected nib width to make a difference, so chose B. I will try F and probably M with the other two inks.

 

I've now got 9 pens inked, which is two over my limit....so got to get back down to limit before I ink those two Indian inks. I use to have 17 pens inked....and want only 5-7 so I can use up some ink.

Not sure how I missed this thread before now.  And I'm curious as to how the color of Moonview compares to other similar blues that lean slightly teal (particularly agains MB Leo Tolstoy).

I don't know what happened to the company, but Mumbai and Chennai didn't sheen nor shade. Mumbai had such a great review, of shading with sheen. Chennai had no review.

Ruth, Moonview does not lean teal at all. I know I'm not answering your question directly. The scan I posted is not showing accurately

      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
