Oh no, not another ink brand! I just ordered a shipload of De Atramentis inks overseas. It's difficult to tell from the scan, but would you describe this Bordeaux as wine-coloured, or even close?

Talking about fountain pens is like dancing about architecture.

It depends of course what kind of wine you drink and how large the glass. It is not a light Bordeaux. Darker and more matured. It really has character and depth with a pronounced brown tint. This normally indicates that a wine is past its peak, although it is still very drinkable. So, this ink is yet very writable. :happyberet:

Since I am still looking for something to replace Parker Penman's Ruby Red (which looks great and ruined my pen) I am interested in this ink. :) First, where did you buy this bottle? Second, how fast does it dry? Reasonably fast (i.e. allowing one to turn a page relatively quickly)? Third, does it smear?

I'm thinking that people who own fluffy white doggies should not be drinking red wine or using red wine colored inks. Think how bad it would be if that fluffy white fur had red blotches from a wine or ink accident....

Not to mention dipping wine and sipping ink ......

Hello Charlie & Michele! As you may remember, our friend Louis at Pen Haven uses the same color ink as the color of the pen. This suggests that we pick out inks which match other surroundings, like dogs and shirts. Of course, white ink might lead to points not being effectively made on white paper, but so little of value is written these days, that I'm not sure that such a consequence would be wholly bad.

-1- Europe

-2- What is fast?

-3- what does 'smear' mean?

1) Where in Europe? Online? (I live in the Netherlands)

2) max 15-20s

3) The phenomenon that one gets streaks and spots when one touches (or rubs) a written sentence AFTER the ink has already dried (for example a week after one wrote a sentence). i.e. the dried ink simply does not stick properly to the paper.

-1- not online, in an art shop near the Blaak.

-2- less than 15-20s

-3- no, when the ink is dry, it is dry. Only with a wet sleeve you could destroy your fine art.

I was in a shop the other day that carries Rubinato inks - it was the first time I'd seen or heard of them. The clerk wasn't sure, but thought they might be for dip pens only and steered me toward the Herbin display instead. Am I to conclude from this thread that Rubinato ink is indeed fountain pen friendly? That would be cool, as the jewel toned inks looked quite beautiful (in the bottles, at least).

Not all Rubinato inks are for fountain pens. They make inks for both dip ens and fountain pens. The dip pen inks are not recommended for fountain pens.

Some were pretty clearly dip pen inks (smaller bottles, wax sealed tops, etc.), but I was looking at these ones in particular (image courtesy of rubinato.it).

My mediocre French didn't give me enough romance kung fu to decipher the Italian packaging, and since the clerk wasn't sure, I gave it a pass. I can't seem to find any specifications on the interweb: do these bottles look like the fountain pen friendly Rubinato inks you guys have?

Oops, finally clicked through ksskss' link, and I see the little wax sealed bottles. Some of those are FP friendly?

      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
