Ku-Jaku and Syo-Ro look nearly identical to me.

 

They also look nearly identical to me, even though Syo-ro is oh-so-subtly more blue and Ku-jaku equally subtly more green. I don't know whether it has to do with my bottles of ink being pretty old — I bought the 50ml bottle of Syo-ro in February 2013, and the 15ml bottle of Ku-jaku mid-2018 — and Ku-jaku, in particular, has been opened quite often.

 

Noodler's Ink Air-Corp Blue-Black stands out in those five by having no sheen.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Ah, the problem child - there had to be at least one out of the five... :D

It needs to be ostracised, alienated, and forced to go on a hero's journey to discover it has a sheen after all, just not in ways others expect, and that becomes the key to its triumph and/or the inky landscape's salvation in the end.

I'm looking forward to a full entertainment set of Liz's EF Dried Ink Patterns with The Magic Kick! :drool:

I have a microscope here.  I'd rather look at Liz's set than pollen or bug wings.

:) I actually had the wild idea that I should make an e-book of inky microscope slides...  Now I'm having the idea that it should be inky microscope slides and silly inky fiction...

In analogy to Terry Pratchett's The Carpet People, now we expect from you, @LizEF, a new storyline about

The Ink People!  Tiny lifeforms in each bottle ...

🧙‍♀️ 😄

One life!

:lol: The back of my brain will work on it.  I once made up a story (can't remember if I wrote it down - I would have been in high school at the time) that took place inside an Epson PC (the kind with two 5" floppy drives :D - the good old days).  As I recall, Ms. Dos was trapped endlessly spinning on a hard drive and our hero - Mr. Epson came swinging in, Tarzan style, on some cable or other to rescue her... :D

Micro fiction is a thing, you know! I don't think they normally mean that it requires 40x magnification(though perhaps they do, metaphorically), but this could be a fun project.  Many of Amy Hempel's stories would fit if the nib were fine enough.

      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
