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

In the first post, the top picture is on 3x5 inch index card.

 

The bottom picture was TR paper.

 

I used this pen and I'm not sure the problem isn't that the pen feed is in sufficient to keep up with the nib.

The color is actually violet.  If you can see this photo, you get a better idea.

What a wonderful review. It was recommended by a friend.i think I better get a sample vial before I commit to a bottle. Thanks for taking the time to do the review!

The color doesn't really show here. This ink reminds me of Akkerman S-V - the ink is a violet color.

:) Thanks for the flowers and the review!  Love the wide variety of papers and writing samples - just shows how different a single ink can be, depending on the other variables.

On my screen it looks more blue violet -- very similar to Robert Oster Dragon's Night (an ink I really need to get a full bottle of at some point...).

Thanks all!  It is definitely a blue violet not a red violet, but it is not as blue as the scans make it look.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
