FPN Tulipe Noire - It's here!

[JDlugosz]

I had a "splat" too! When I came back to this thread, it makes me wonder. I have little flecks, like dust, on the page I was writing.

Here is a calibrated scan. The colors are correct in the file according to the embedded profile (Adobe RGB) so any of these scans can be compared side-by-side to see the relative color. The white border shows the paper color, and the gray matte helps you perceive the color, as this matte should be perfectly neutral.

 

 

 

 

Here is information about the color: The Hue of my writing is 343°, but lighter application can show down to 320°, so it does vary from red to magenta as it gets darker. This means that variation will show tonal variations, not just brightness variations.

Thanks for the precise scan!

 

I think I have to revisit my Tulipe Noire. I like it as you've scanned it. I haven't used it in a few months. Hm, which pen...

I just received my Tulipe Noir along with Starry Nights Blue (I had asked that the first bottle be held for the second to be completed so as to save on shipping costs)

 

Thus far, my ink has performed well. Yes, I can see how some nibs might let it be handled too freely. This is definitely a free flowing ink. You may have to match your pen to the ink.

 

But, let me underscore this point: I'm satisfied. The ink behaves well enough for my needs and it offers some nice shading.
