Ordered Delta Blue and Brown and Visconti Blue this morning from GBA pens. Looking forward to trying the Delta inks as I don't have any. The Visconti is purely for the bottle - I have the Visconti blue in a plastic bottle and I'm after the mushroom (and GBA have it on offer at the moment!).

Waterman Havana brown and Diamine Orange. They go along with autumn pretty well. Took a while to find them both from the same seller but Bertram's Inkwell (no affiliation) has shipped them.

Nothing terribly exciting, I'm afraid. I'm just waiting on some Lamy ink cartridges (blue, black, blue/black, violet and turquoise) from Inscriber.com.au, who I've never ordered from before. Thought ink cartridges would be a safe enough first order!

Just got a bottle of Parker's Penman Saphire. I have been using it at the office and it is a gorgeous blue.

 

 

I'm drooling. Enjoy! I guess it's quite old. Did you need to dilute it to soften the colour?

 

I first met, no, used this ink around 15 years ago when I received a present of a Parker Sonnet. I have halcyon recollections of sitting at my old desk, thinking that this is quite literally the perfect colour. It was positively a joy to make words appear on a page.

 

I didn't maintain the pen well and I didn't really know what I was doing, so the feed got a bit gummed and I stopped using fountain pens until a few years ago.

 

Then, I found some PP Saphire cartridges on sale on Ebay. Though they had evaporated a little and were darker as a result (I didn't think of diluting them a little with de-ionised water) I was delighted. The colour gap in my life seemed filled again and I began writing more.

 

Then, one day when walking from my car to a cafe where I planned to have some journal time, a sudden rainstorm hit. I ran for cover, but when I sat down in the restaurant and opened my book, I found that even the few drops of rain which got through had smudged or completely removed weeks of notes.

 

I found this unacceptable and decided to begin my quest for a permanent ink as close to the 'perfect colour' as possible. I'm still on it and though I've come close, it's never been completely 'right'.

 

Anyway, returning to the topic of this thread, I have some Noodler's 'Reine Mauve' on order. I'm going to mix it with PR DC Electric blue and see if that comes close to what I'm looking for. I have no idea what the flow properties will be like, but will find out soon!
