Sailor Kujukuri Coast limited edition inks: Hamanasu, Katagaishikai, Hakkakuao and Hamachidori

Platinum Classic Ink Lavender Black

 

After a couple of stressful weeks of uncertainty, the inks were delivered to me in Australia yesterday! I haven't opened the bottles yet, but they all seem to be in good shape, and without the parcel having been opened up for customs inspection or quarantine as far as I can tell.

 

I even managed to get this in writing from Rakuten Global Express today:

We now acknowledge that shipment containing "ink" are accepted by Japan Post and Australian customs.

 

These are the Sailor inks I got:

fpn_1553658649__sailor_kujukuri_coast_in

 

To celebrate the successful outcome, I think I'll offer to add some sample vials of those inks to the PIF/surplus goodies box doing the rounds in Australia. :D

The bottle of Noodler's Aircorp Blue Black I ordered on Amazon arrived just now.

One side of the bottle label and the cardboard box were completely soaked with leaked ink. Luckily the warehouse wrapped the item really well inside bubble wrap and taped all around it, and managed to contain the leak.

I just don't have much luck ordering Noodler's inks in from overseas, it seems. Of well over a hundred other bottles of inks I have received from overseas in the post, I've encountered two instances of Noodler's inks leaking/spilling/being broken and getting everything soaked, one instance of a bottle off KWZ Ink leaking (but contained by the cling-wrap applied at the factory around the bottle before boxing), one instance of very minor leaking with Diamine, and none ever in over a dozen shipments of Japanese inks.

A bottle of Jacques Herbin 1798 Cornaline dEgypte.

 

I already have more orange inks than I can reasonbly use in my lifetime, but I wanted to complete my set of 1670 and 1798 inks. The others have been living in my Pilot Parallel Pens and have been really satisfying to even my jaded palette. Nice flow, great shading, lovely saturation, and the fun sparkle, theyre just a really enjoyable ink to use. Though, I havent had the guts to put them in a nicer pen yet...

Awaiting 3 bottles each reportedly 3/4 full so yes, someone sucked 1/4 of the life out of the ink bottles (according to the seller!) Awaiting: Herbin 1670 Emerald of Chivor (What actually is an Emerald of Chivor? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chivor), Noodler's Bulletproof Massachusetts (Should be the designated ink of the NRA) AND Apache Sunset (Hard to comment w/o Snowflake SJW's crying racism).

 

Happy I plunked down one Andrew Jackson (Soon to be Harriet Tubman?) for this latest inky exploit. Looking forward to inking up and putting down some scratch!

Oxford blue is a great buy. Graphite goes down with too much green in it for me, but settles and dries into a nice thick grey

I hope so, incidentally, I just stumbled across a picture of "Skull and roses" today. I really wish that one could have made it in this order. Oh well - that one will have to be in the next purchase.

I´m having the same caveat as you about Graphite, so I ordered a small sample bottle. I´m also afraid that I´ll find Earl Grey too blue, and Cacao du Bresil too washed out, so I´m not too optimistic. Sometimes you just have to jump in the middle of it, and possibly be pleasantly surprised.

Not the biggest fan of blue ink, but KWZ Walk Over Vistula looked somewhat nice, so I added a bottle in my shopping car while I was ordering something else... :P

 

I really, really like KWZ Green Gold #2 and Honey, so I hope this one will be good too!

I finally picked up a bottle of Platinum Carbon Black.

 

I was looking for a Black Iron Gall ink, and then realized that is basically what Platinum Carbon Black is.

I prefer deep black permament inks and Heart of Darkness can write too fat a line in many of my nibs, and Kiwa-Guro can be too anemic flowing in my dry writers.

I'm afraid not. Platinum Carbon Black is a pigment ink in which insoluble particles are suspended, whereas iron-gall inks do not have insoluble particles. Pigment inks can clog nibs (especially if the ink is left to dry in the pen) because of that, whereas the main hazard with iron-gall inks, as I understand it, is corrosion of metal parts (including the nib).

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread.

Close enough, mate.

 

Iron Galls clog pens if poorly maintained or dried out as well... happened to my TWSBI Eco with Scabiosa after a short time of disuse.

 

Yes, there are the differences in constitution you pointed out, but they are very comparable with regards to required pen maintenance and their capacity for permanence.

 

And I like how Carbon Black has a wetter inkflow. It's even good for my TWSBI with which Scabiosa writes too pale a line for me.

I wonder if the R&K Sketch Ink might be a bit more delicate even though it is pigment, Lotte seems like a great black.

      @bhavini If I were you I would not buy a dip-pen. They don't replicate the flow characteristics of fountain pens, and they will work well with some inks that will clog fountain pens. Instead of a dip-pen, I would buy a relatively-inexpensive pen that is easy to clean. E.g. a Parker Frontier and a converter for it. Its nib/feed-unit can be unscrewed from the pen, so cleaning it is very very easy.
    • finzi 18 Apr 21:44
      @bhavini I ordered a Sailor Hocoro today, to use for testing. I’ll let you know what it’s like. You can get different nib sizes for it, so maybe more versatile than a glass dip pen.

    • Penguincollector 15 Apr 22:48
      @bhavini, I really like the Sailor Hocoro dip pen. It’s inexpensive, easy to clean, and if you get one with a nib that has a feed, you can get quite a few lines of writing before you have to dip again. I have a fude nib, which I use for swatching and line variation while writing.

      What's a relatively cheap tool for a newbie to use to try out new inks, without inking up a pen? I've a bunch of ink samples on their way but I just want to play around with them before I decide on which ones I want to buy more of for writing. I've never used anything except a fountain pen to write with ink before.

      It's gonna end where 1929 left us: a world war, shambles, and 'growth by rebuilding'. That's the conservative view of cycling history --and the big plan. Even if our generations perish.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:49
      Of course trade wars are much, more important than the prices of consumer products. The true intention is to weaken the dollar, so that the Chinese start selling their US held debt. But the dollar being the defacto world reserve currency, it doesn't lose value that easily. So the idea is to target trade through artificially raising prices. Problem is, inflation will skyrocket. Good luck with that.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:33
      Guess who loses
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:30
      In Europe, the only (truly) American produced brand is Esterbrook AFAIK. Tariffs will make Esterbrook products compete on the same level as some high-end European brands (let's say Aurora), while clearly the product is manufactured to compete on a much lower price level.
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:24
      So let's say you want to buy a Montblanc or whatever. You pay the current tariff on top of the usual price, unless your local distributor is willing to absorb (some) of the difference
    • lamarax 11 Apr 0:20
      Tariffs are paid by the importer, not the exporter.
    • TheQuillDeal 10 Apr 2:44

      Cappuccino should work. Frothy milk also helps to lubricate the nib. But it has to be made by a barista.

      No replies required to my complaints about the Pelikan. A friend came to the rescue with some very magnification equipment - with the images thrown to a latge high res screen. Technology is a wonderful thing. Thanks to Mercian for the reply. I had been using the same paper & ink for sometime when the "singing" started. I have a theory but no proof that nibs get damaged when capping the pen. 👍
    • Mercian 22 Oct 22:28
      @FineFinerFinest: sometimes nib-'singing' can be lessened - or even cured - by changing the ink that one is putting through the pen, or the paper that one is using. N.b. *sometimes*. Good luck

      I'm not expecting any replies to my question about the singing Pelikan nib. It seems, from reading the background, that I am not alone. It's a nice pen. It's such a pity Pelikan can't make decent nibs. I have occasionally met users who tell me how wonderful their Pelikan nib is. I've spent enough money to know that not everyone has this experience. I've worked on nibs occasionally over forty years with great success. This one has me beaten. I won't be buying any more Pelikan pens. 👎
    • FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 4:27

      Back to FPN after 14 years. First thing I noticed is that I could not see a FS forum. What has changed? 🤔

      @T.D. Rabbit Try posting it in the "Chatter Forum". You have to be logged in to see it.

      Hello! Is there a thread anywhere 'round here where one can post self-composed poetry? If not, would it be alright if I made one? I searched on google, but to no avail...

      I have several Parker Roller Ball & Fiber Tip refills in the original packaging. Where and how do I sell them? The couple that I've opened the ink still flowed when put to paper. Also if a pen would take the foller ball refill then it should take the fiber tip as well? Anyway it's been awhile and I'm want to take my message collection beyond the few pieces that I have... Meaning I don't have a Parker these refills will fit in 🙄

      Recently was lucky enough to buy a pristine example of the CF crocodile ball with the gold plating. Then of course I faced the same problem we all have over the years ,of trying to find e refill. Fortunately I discovered one here in the U.K. I wonder if there are other sources which exist in other countries, by the way they were not cheap pen

      Somewhat confusing and off-putting ones, as said to me by my very honest friends. I don't have an X account though :<

      I have a Conway Stewart Trafalgar set. It was previously owned by actor Russell Crowe and includes a letter from him. Can anyone help me with assessing its value?

      There must be a couple of places here to share artworks.
