Visconti Blue will.

I have Visconti's Blue (in carts) & bottled Iroshizuku Asa-Gao as well. Both of these inks are in a pleasant mid-blue range.

Been using Visconti Blue carts as my regular ink in a Kaweco Special FP for over a year. This blue ink has really grown on me. As a credible colour replacement for the fabulous OMAS Sepia of the past, Visconti's version of Sepia is quite charming. I have this ink (also in carts) running in my ss. Kaweco Lilliput.

 

Thanks! That is what I was hoping to read. :)

Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

Bummer. Yesterday I found a notice of failed delivery due to absence of the addressee so I'll have to pick up my stuff from the PO tomorrow. What slightly enrages me is that the notice says I wasn't home at the time of delivery, but I most certainly was, and eagerly expecting my inks. Bloody lazy postperson didn't even bother to ring.

Troublemaker Milky Ocean, Foxglove, and Sea Glass. I have a purple pen that I hope will match well with Foxglove. I've read that shipping can take a while from TMKR, and I just filled a blue pen that I think would match Milky Ocean with a large amount of ink, so I'm curious if I'll finish that pen first or if the ink will arrive first.

I'm glad you managed to get your order in! I ordered my TMKR bunch last spring when things were more relaxed for them, and it took about 6 weeks. They are lovely, just about finishing a Kelp Tea fill.

Just ordered Dyamine Dragon Red, a bold, deep red. Some of my pens won't fit in the 20 ml bottle, so I ordered the large 80 ml one. I believe only their more popular inks come in the larger bottles.

Do you mean only Diamine's 110 more popular inks colours -- not counting exclusives such as Iridescink Philip, Jalur Gemilang and November Rain -- are offered in 80ml bottles as well as 30ml bottles?

So much things you got wrong in just this one post, no offense though.

That's a great ink!

Diamine Dragon Red has been excellent for writing in both narrow and wide nibs on my writing desk.

Yes, the bold, deep red hue is especially eye-pleasing.

Like you, I have the larger bottle.

I hope that it'll write as well in your pens as it has in mine.

I am eagerly anticipating more Sailor Manyo inks. The two I have are wonderful.

Against my better judgement, I've ordered the four Taccia Ukiyo-e Hokusai-Katsushika inks. I have no need for more ink and have resisted buying any inks for a couple years. I suspect these are limited edition in some way, as their packaging is much fancier than their regular line.

Larger box (more air space) and rectangular bottle going by my Sharaku Koiame (excuse the spelling, I'm not going to look it up)

Another "against my better judgment", I placed an order for my first bottle of Platinum Classic Ink Citrus Black. I already have the four colours I like; out of the remaining two, Sepia Black is probably too close to (my favourite) Khaki Black yet darker, to warrant being bought instead of a second bottle of Khaki Black, and Citrus Black seems to be a crowd-pleaser but not because of its performance (water resistance, etc.) but just "fun to watch it change colour while writing", which holds negligible appeal to me. Nevertheless, since I'm already buying a pen (that I don't need and have no real use in mind for) from this seller, and he's offering a bottle of Citrus Black for a reasonable price, I decided to add the latter to my order just for the hell of it.

I caved and bought the remaining bottles of the Iroshizuku 100th anniversary line that I am missing... which was most of them. Sigh.

Two bottles of Hero 232 Iron Gall. But as the order is still marked "Pending", I guess Coronavirus and Chinese New Year means that nothing is going to ship anytime soon...

Currently waiting for Maruzen Athena Sepia, Blue black (which I've now learned is just sailor BBK, so I may have seriously overpaid for it), Renga, Eternal Blue.

 

Also Ishida Bungu Twilight Blue, and Taccia Hokusai Rust Green.

 

Taccia inks are incredible.

 

I guess just a whole bunch of grail / unicorn inks I finally decided to treat myself with. :)

 

Next: more Kobe inks.

I keep promoting myself I won't buy more ink and then I find a "deal." This time It was a bottle of Levenger's Empyrean and another of True Teal. I suspect I'll end up having colors just like them already, but they were only $6.95 each. Curse you Levenger's Outlet!

I bought a 70ml bottle of Pilot Blue. It's pricey but well reviewed.

 

Turns out it comes with a free Pilot Custom 823. . .

:lol: I confess: you got me. After reading the first line, I was actually thinking "Oh, fooey, they must have gotten taken in by an unscrupulous eBay or Amazon..." -- and then I read the second line.

Currently waiting for a bottle of Sailor Manyo Haha. It was a special order from PenChalet, so I honestly have no idea when they'll be able to fill it. Which, in its way, is neat -- by the time it arrives, I may well have forgotten that I'd ordered it, so it will be a delightful surprise.
