🤔 (sadly) there is nothing to sell there.

Thanks Lithium466 😉

Exactly, I am not selling anything, only giving samples.

Haven't used green ink since around 1964, but I could definitely go for a bottle of this lovely dark green!

Add lightness and simplicate.

Handsome mix you've concocted there. I'd love to hear more about the recipe/production process you used to put it together if you're inclined to give more detail about the secret sauce.

That's a nice green.  Reminds me of Pelikan Edelstein Olivine.

Do you have to be in France to get a sample?  I’m in the US, and would like to try a racing green ink.

Thanks for the comments.

 

You don't need to be in France of course, I do no reside in France either, but being in Europe would be better. I am not making any profit out of this hobby and shipping fees can be quite high when you start to distribute several samples here and there. So far I only gave a few samples to people near to me (in Belgium) and border countries (France, Germany) and the cost was already not insignificant.

I totally understand. I think it’s cool you did the work to make the ink.

I would love to try some of your inks, and can definitely participate to shipping :)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
