I am deeply intrigued by the grey purple combination of the Caran d'ache Ultra Violet and there are only two reviews of it in FPM. Besides the lamenting over price comparisons to the previous line that apparent,y is no longer available I would like to have additional opinions on this ink. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone could review Pilot Red? (the basic ink which comes in up to 350 ml bottles) for a cheap ink I couldn't find any reviews... I will be ordering it soon but I don't think I'm good enough to review an ink, and would appreciate anyone who has the ink to give a review :) Thank you!

You are plenty good to do a review. The important thing is to just do it.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

"Beaufort Inks" in Scotland have just realised six new inks. They specialised previously in rollerball refills, pen kits, nibs, blanks. To my eye, some of them look a bit Sailor Jentle or Pilot like. Would love to see a review of these.

 

Obsidian Black, Blue Black, Zodiac Blue, Peacock, Scots Pine, Roasted Red

I have this one inked up. If you PM me with your address I'll also send you a letter. I'll try and post an informal review in the meantime. This ink is wonderful.

I'd love to see a review of an ink I've discovered lately: PENBBS #218. I've read that it's a Chinese ink. It has a gold shimmer component to it. I think it's gorgeous, and I'd love to see some other reviews of it on here, to see what other people's experience with the gold shimmer dust has been like.

Hey,

 

has anyone tried the new Graf von Faber Castell inks Olive Green and Cognac Brown?

Not tried them for any length of time, but here are a couple of quick swabs, for your information.

 

The ink is typically "GvFC" - more akin to soft vintage-style J. Herbin than punchy saturated Sailor.

I have a hunch that next years Pelikan Edelstein Ink of the Year Olive Green will be very similar to the former ink that you mention. B)

I would like to see the two new bottled inks from Cross reviewed: Blue and Blue-Black. (There is a mini-review based on a quick try-out of the blue-black, but it would be great if there could be a full review. There are no comments on the blue). Many thanks in advance.

I don' t have a review request, but another kind of request. But, first can I say thank you to whoever, moderates, organises and sorts out all the information here. The ink forum and especially the reviews are my favourite place on the net. Barely a day goes by...

 

My request is: is it possible to cull some of the older reviews where the links to the photos no longer work?

      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
