TACCIA Ukiyo-e Utamaro Benizakura, Syaraku Koiame, Syaraku Natane, and (another bottle of) Syaraku Kurocha.

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. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

The Pelikan Edelstein Golden Beryl arrived yesterday and I like the shading more than the sparkle. Maybe I need to try it on a different paper? 

 

I'm still waiting on the inks that will bring my Jacques Herbin shimmer collection up to date:

 

Jacques Herbin Shogun 

 

Jacques Herbin 1670 Violet Imperial

 

Jacques Herbin 1670 Fuchsia de Magellan

 

Jacques Herbin Bleu Austral 

 

After those arrive, I plan to apply the "Do I already have something similar?" criteria to future inks. I've been spending my time and money on displaying the inks I have in the hopes I will enjoy my current collection instead of chasing that consumer dopamine rush. We'll see how that experiment goes.

Thank you, for showing me the names of a few Herbin inks I didn't know about.

I've had Smokey Gray which I like for a long time.

Have a few Diamine glitter inks that shade also.

 

How well do the Herbin glitter inks shade?

The Reality Show is a riveting result of 23% being illiterate, and 60% reading at a 6th grade or lower level.

@Bo Bo Olson My pleasure! I quite like the gray as well. The Shogun is supposed to be black with shimmer, but I'll do a comparison when it gets here.

 

The shading is universally good on the inks that I have from this line. I think the best is the 1670 Rouge Hematite and the least pronounced shading on the 1798 Kyanite du Nepal. It so depends on the pen you're using it in though. I use these inks in my Pilot Parallel pens as they're so easy to pull apart and clean out, plus the italic nibs really show off these inks. 

 

I try and post some scans in the correct forum when I get a chance. I'm sure our more expert reviewers have already done so.

 

Oh and Goulet pens has a video on YouTube about these inks seeming to be easy to clean out of pens than the Diamine. Has that been your experiece?

So the Edelstein Mandarin arrived. Writes well, but looks a bit meh. Maybe orange inks just aren’t my jam? Still waiting on the Golden Beryl, but it’s coming with the matching pen!

I have similar thoughts on Mandarin. It shades beautifully, but it is just plain hard to read. Maybe used sparingly as a highlight, just maybe. In the mean time, I have still not succeeded in giving away my bottle, which filled one pen, once.

Having only Stormy gray, that is too few to compare.

I didn't notice much trouble with Diamine, but wasn't looking for it as such.

I was using Pelican piston pens. I unscrew the nib and take a rubber suction bulb to squirt out the remnants.

If you take your time in cutting up a rubber bulb in slivers, eventually you will get one that fits the nib section, which makes cleaning out easier even with out glitter.

 

I got so many inks I need to use again....like those 4-5 Diamine glitter inks.

I'm not much for orange generally, but I really like KWZ Missourah Crawdad, which is a really orange orange. KWZ Orange looks just as orange in online swatches. Maybe that's am option if you want another orange.

folks, what happened to this thread? Did you all stop buying ink?!

 

I'm waiting for:

Bloody Absinth

Bloody Brexit

Communication Breakdown

Hells Bells

November Rain

Purple Rain

Skull & Roses

Smoke on the Water

all Diamine 30ml (annoying it's made 50 miles away but I can only get these from Germany!) Flipping Master of Puppets was out of stock and I need it SOLELY for the name. 

 

and

Sui-gyoku; Asa-gao; Ajisai; Kon-peki; Fuyu-shogun and Fuyu-gaki, all coming from Japan at a very reasonable price

and then Cult Pens did a sale on Pelikan and while I was snagging a pink M205 I figured I may as well get me some more Diamine at 5 for 4: Teal; Writer's Blood; Earl Grey; Aurora Borealis and Amazing Amethyst (all 30ml). This is in addition to an earlier inkfest which resulted in 4x Wearingeuls - Cheshire Cat; Floating Cloud; The Star-Child and Wayfarer, and Taccia Ukiyo-e Hokusai Sabimidori.

 

To be fair to me I haven't bought any ink in well over a year, I think. Not much anyway! I just need the last Iroshizukus I've got my eye on.

6 Pure Pens inks, held up in customs for 12-14 days... We finally called customs, and was told, could be another 3-6 weeks for them to get to my package. Then comes a bill or pick it up locally and pay cash.

(China sends each fork of a set individually, to overwhelm German customs so most of their counterfeit goods and drugs can get through.)

Beddgelert, Pendine Sands, Celtic Sea, Porthcurno Cove, Saltire Blue  and Glens of Antrim, a nice looking shading green pens..

Hell, I even cleaned out 12 pens...two have since then been used.

I even found which printed formula to use, and how, in I intend to do ink reviews on them.

 

:gaah:Customs gives me all the time in the world to clean out that remaining over filled dirty pen cup.

@Bo Bo Olson Customs are the worst ☹️ It looks like my Fountainfeder order has got through, as it is now in Royal Mail's hot sticky little hands and no mention of a bill. The order from Japan I kept under the £135 limit to the UK which basically means no import duties as it's paid at source, or something, HMRC move in mysterious ways. 

I have seen a lot of small businesses stop shipping to Germany due to the issues getting stuff in from the UK (thanks Brexit, NOT) but 8 weeks in Customs?! Wow. Maybe we have to post them to you one at a time?!

@midnightblues -- Well, for me, I haven't been doing a lot of shopping online recently.  I did pick up three bottles of ink last weekend at an estate sale: Noodler's Legal Lapis (currently in one of the Noodler's FPCs) a small bottle of Noodler's Luxury Blue (not yet tried) and a mostly full bottle of some as yet to be ID'd Diamine ink (by sloshing the ink around in the bottle, it appears to be some sort of blue -- but haven't had a chance to try it (or Luxury Blue, for that matter) yet.

But for $5 US per bottle?  Sure, I'll take a chance....

A Diamine custom/bespoken called 'Turtle Belly'. 

 

I also decided to try some 3 Oysters I caught on sale; got bottles of Marine Green, Cool Gray, & took a chance on their Black looking as cool as it does in their ad swatch.

 

Kind've odd but their sample vials of the Black were disproportionately higher ($8/5ml) than their others ($2.50 & $4), but the full bottle only $10 as compared to their others at $12 -- so $2 more to go from 5ml vial to full 38ml corner-sitter bottle seemed the no-brainer. Maybe a glitch I stumbled upon but I jumped & it took so, we'll see. Given my luck, I'm prepared for its imagined 'cool-ness' being a total plotch. What I can't decide is whether that amounts to a 'saving' or not. LOL 

 

And finally,  since the shipping threshold was near, added a few [Oyster] 5ml samplings of interest: 

   Giwa,  Navy Blue,  Peacock Blue,  & Peacock Green. 

      

 

I got 99 problems but a BIC ain't one! 

              ~◇◇◇◇~

Ever notice that all the instruments looking for signs of intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? 

                ~◇◇◇◇~

If I said I'll fix it, I will. There's no need to remind me every 6 months.

      @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.

      @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.

      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.

      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

      Hello all - New here. My Art studies have spilled me into the ft pen world where I am happily submerged and floating! I'm looking to repair some cheap pens that are starving for ink yet filled, and eventually get new nibs; and development of repair skills (an even longer learning curve than my art studies - lol).

      I have no ties or relationship. Just a very happy customer. He is a very experienced Montblanc expert.

      @Seney724. The pen was recently disassembled and cleaned, but the nib and feed were not properly inserted into the holder. I'm in Maryland.
    • Diablo 26 Aug 21:32
      @Seney724. The nib section needs to be adjusted properly.

      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?
