I'm on a rampage for green, purple and brown inks at the moment. It took me a while to get used to this ink but now that I have, I really, really like it. The scanner is showing it to be darker than it is. It looks a lot more brown than it actually is.

 

R & K and Diamine are fast shaping up to be brands that I will turn to for coloured inks and non-archival correspondence.

Very interesting color Artful. I might have to check this one out when I place another order.

 

Thanks for the review, especially of an ink from a company that I haven't heard much of.

Rohrer & Klingner make great ink. I have almost every colour and I love each one, but Alt-Goldgrün is my favourite... :)

So not the color I was expecting somehow (even having seen the Pendemonium swash).

 

I think that would look lovely in a white tortoise Pelikan M400.

Thanks for the review. Very helpful, I have been thinking about getting this ink for a while and it has now moved to the top of my must get list.

Exactly my thought... I use Stipula Verde Muschiato and Conway Stewart Dark Green in my M400 Tortoise (when I'm in the mood to match ink to the pen). This one reminds me of Stipula Verde Muschiato -- perhaps a lighter version of it.

 

Thanks for the review, Artful Lounger! :)

Mine is on it's way to me from the writing desk in England, can't wait! I was expecting the colour to be _a lot_ lighter.

 

Best regards,

 

Jarno.

No worries ) I've ben wanting to try my hand at reviews. Meanwhile, you're using one of the inks I am eyeing myself i.e. the Stipula Verde Muschiato. That's a brand I've not tried yet. Looking forward to buying that eventually. ^^

Just this colour alone is getting me hooked on the brand. I'm eyeing the purples/violets next but I need to spare my wallet. :unsure:

that green ink is very interesting, it is a very subtle and sober color and me likey a lot. Thanks for the review.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
