Italix Parson's Essential Color Combinations

[cbaytan]

Today, my third and amber color Essential arrived. I didn't like this kind of colors at all, I thought it was like more reddish, anyway, I came home, was thinking maybe MrPen would accept exchanges with black one, but how a shipping back and forth to England would be great pain in the neck. then it came to my mind there is a black one sitting in the drawer and what if I exchange barrel and the cap, when changing them I figured cap,barrel combinations would be interesting. And ta-daa there was a great combination for me guess which one.

 

 

First pic, for whom curious about them: All Essential colors with a same size Noodler's Ahab Demonstrator, feed is hacked and nib is smoothed by me..

The ink is Noodler's Red-Black, One drop od dish washer fluid added in a full converter for increasing flow with great success, well in the last 1/4 inkof converter, success became just too much of a success.

 

 

Without flash hand held. Colors are now more realistic.

 

Black and amber.

 

 

Combinations.

 

 

And the winner is:

Enjoy.

 

 

 

Best wishes to all.

Mix 'n match....

 

Nice idea.

 

I do like the amber.

 

Italix is still somewhere on my list.... and that amber is appealing.

 

Thanks for showing

 

 

Are his italic nibs crisp or cursive? I like a cursive nib myself.

They've got all kinds, crisps, crisp obliques and cursive stubs. Check their web site out.

huh... I love the amber and blue. I'm hoping they'll come out with a red and green along the same theme, give me a reason to buy more

Does anyone know offhand what converters fit in the Parson's? The schmidt one that came with mine is leaking after only 4 fills... are there any other options? Can't even really disassemble the schmidt one either... Nice color combos by the way.

Have you contacted Peter Ford at Mr. Pen? I'm sure he will sort the problem out for you.

Looks like a bumblebee.

 

I rather like the color of the blue pen. The black is classic (love mine) but that blue is gorgeous. I may have to put some money aside for one.
