Just got this one. Liking it. Vibrant.

 

Writes well, dries fairly quickly.

Thanks, @Gaius Maximus!  Looks like a good color, a little lighter and pinker than some magentas.  Nice that it's not identical to a bunch of others. :)

 

@LizEF, I was under iffy lighting, yellowish. I'll get better shots and add to, under 5000k.

Thanks! Still looks different enough from some magentas to make it interesting to me.  :)

I thought so. $8USD on Amazon.

Thank you, @Gaius Maximus, for the ink review - and for the colour corrected images! 👍

That's indeed a nice ink. It seems to be closer to Aurora "Purple" than to the usual magenta inks. At least, another ink to consider.

One life!

Ooooh.  That does look like a nice color.  And a little different from some of the pink inks I have....

Of course, I'm ALSO going, "Do I REALLY need more ink?"  Especially after buying several bottles at the B/W  show a couple of weekends ago, PLUS getting some other Monteverde ink as swag AND picking up a freebie small bottle of Diamine Les Paul Guitar Series Honey Burst at a table....

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
