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.

      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
