I just received my bottles of White Whale today and oddly enough it wasnt what I was expecting. The ink had an ivory colour to it and it wrote almost transparently on black paper. I was wondering if this is a fluke or is it normal behavior for this ink?

I was entirely disappointed with Whiteness of the Whale ink. It doesn't show up at all on dark paper. You can create interesting pastel colors with it BUT I found that every pen that I put a Whiteness of the Whale ink mixture into stopped writing properly!

...It isn't a white-writing ink at all - it was made purely for mixing with intensely saturated colours to give pastel tones...

Did any one else have my experience of it causing the ink stop flowing well? It did it in several Sheaffer School pens that normally write very smoothly.

If you used Whiteness of the Whale in your pen and it stops up, are you experiencing Mopey Bic? Can it be re-Ahab-bilitated? Should you blubber? Would you have a leg to stand on?

I can't take puns like that before I've had my Starbucks, but I think the solution to the flow problems can be solved by using a Stubb nib.

      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

      @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
