Hi, could someone do a review and/or comparison of Rohrer & Klingner's Antique Drawing Ink and their Calligraphy & Drawing Ink?

 

(or should I post this in the 'Penmanship' subforum instead?)

How about the new Conway Stewart inks I've seen advertised someplace recently?

 

Oh, great, just what I need -- *more* inks that I might want to try.... :headsmack:

Thanks loads.

Has anybody gotten their hands on Pendleton Brown's new inks yet?

I recently got a bottle of Purpillusion - very nice shade of true purple and so far well behaved.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice; damn

There goes that fox again.

Chelpark Royal Blue and Sapphire Blue.

 

Thanks...

 

We'll have these inks in the 2013 Fade Olympics.

 

You might want to ask TheAdityajain to consider doing some reviews.

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

I'd love to see a comparison of all of Noodler's 1 oz inks with a flex pen, or at least Luxury Blue and Periwinkle.

 

hmm....

I don't have them all, but if you come to town with your wife's books, I'll let you play with my 1oz inks.

 

FYI, the Dromgoole's are my favorites followed by Lux Blue - see some of the blue inks here, and my least favorite is Periwinkle.

 

You can find a lot of the inks broken down by brand at my website:

Thanks Amber. The links are very helpful.

 

I got the entire range of Chelpark inks with one week to go for fade Olympics, too late to send the writing samples.

      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
