I didn't even know this ink exists.  Is it still available anyplace (given that it was an LE ink from last year)?

Vanness had some earlier in the week. A friend ordered a bottle for me (along with other things, oops).

Thanks for the tip!  I just checked their website and they do have it in stock (oh, like I REALLY need more ink... :headsmack:)!

ETA:  No, I'm wrong -- I looked at the listing again and it was R&K Salix I was looking at....  :wallbash:  And I don't need another bottle of that yet....

Nut Ebony is listed as being sold out.... :(

Not anymore. :)

I hope the smiley means that you bought a bottle?

 

I would never trust an IG ink in a sample bottle.  They oxidize once exposed to air, and samples in a sample bottle have, by definition been exposed to air.  And usually samples are a tiny bit of ink which means the ink sloshed around with lots of air in the bottle while being delivered.

No. But was gifted a sample by another FPNer. It's in my review pen now.  Pretty sure my benefactor knew what she was doing - large sample in a well-sealed centrifuge tube.

Hmmm.  Wondering now if that's what happened with the sample of Diamine Registrars.... :huh:

      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
