with Noodler's Black Swan in English Roses

 

Good looking combo.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

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'm using the 5 old pens I've bought a few days ago ....

 

Sometimes, using vintage pens is very fun and bringing it back to life is great .....

Pilot Vanishing Point (matte black), b nib with Diamine Green Black

 

Parker Premier (custom tartan), f nib with Sailor Apricot

 

TWSBI 580, Pilot #5 b nib with Noodler's Blue

 

 

Diamine Green Black is a new ink acquisition and I LOVE it. I've never really been a green ink fan -- it appears festive, rather than legit. However, Green Black has wonderful depth and at first glance you think it's a black ink until you realize there's something more to it. Really nice pairing with a black matte VP.

Sheaffer's Craftsman, Carmine Striated, with #33 fine/medium nib. I sat down to write a few "get well soon" and "congratulations" notes this morning. Decided to use one of my favorite pens. This pen is in great shape, except that the barrel is cracked at the section and has been "welded" back together. I came across the pen in a thrift store and think I only paid about $2 for it. Someone probably tried to replace the ink sac and in the process cracked the barrel at the section. The crack is a complete semi-circle and has been welded (melted plastic) back in place. The pen would be destroyed if I tried to remove the barrel to replace the sac. I almost threw the pen out a few years ago but instead I inked up and fell in love with the way it wrote. Unfortunately, it is dip only at this point.

 

Today's ink choice is Montblanc Burgundy. The scanner I am using is not color calibrated.

Brought the Fellowship Demonstrator back into circulation today (looks really nice loaded with that Rohrer & Klingner I've been using lately), alongside a late-model Wearever cartridge with a semi-hooded nib and Lucite feed.

I just used my black Parker Sonnet with fine nib.

Ink today (and everyday) is Paradise Pen Company black ink.

      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
