I don't see a good reason to have two open bottles of nominally the same ink just to check the differences, if I'm not already at the cusp of finishing the opened bottle…

LOL, I did exactly that with a Noodler's ink just recently.  ;)

Will work for pens... :unsure:

I know you did, for my sake no less! Thank you so much, and I apologise for putting you out like that.

 

By the way, I just checked, and panda dropped its prices on the remaining stock (but not more Lexington Gray, of course… just some #41 Brown).

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.

You didn't put me out. Curiosity got me. As always. Sharing the outcome makes it worthwhile. :blush:

Just to be clear, this is intended to be neither a criticism nor a rebuke!

curred between one production batch and the next one, instead of when the retail product branding/format changed.

 

Oh no, I meant it in a I'm curious way. No snark was involved.

I understood it that way. What I meant was, other than out of clinical (as in nerdy, lab testing) and commercial (as in being an ink retailer, and seeing some benefit or at least risk mitigation in alerting prospective buyers to any differences) interest, it's unlikely that an ‘amateur’ would perform and publish a comparison of the two from actual retail bottles (as opposed to ink samples of somewhat opaque providence), because the information value to the owner of those bottles would be very limited in the present, the way I see it.

 

It's much easier to have and/or express a clinical an idle interest when the avenue of satisfying it doesn't cost oneself in time, effort, materials, and/or financial expense. I don't believe that discovery and provision of information, by or to those who have a genuine interest, ought to be free “for all”, with or without the Internet. But if the individual hobbyist is told it would cost at least the asking prices and delivery charge of two ink samples, as well as effort to then perform a meaningful and/or controlled comparison, that interest in some tidbit of information tends to be quickly dampened or extinguished.

 

Is there some way to crowd-source every piece of desired information, in an equitable manner such that the cost (in labour and materials) to the information sources would be crowd-funded as a sort of system or culture, such that information consumers don't expect every consumer dollar they spent would be on tangible products, “something to show for” it in exchange? I don't know.

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.

      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
