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

      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
