Parker Penman Sapphire. I'm about to finish a bottle...only three left. Pain!

Just inked my Montblanc 146, F nib, with Waterman's Blue Black ink and my Pelikan M800, F nib, with Diamine Majestic Blue. I like dark blues!

Akkerman No. 16

If you're transferring this ink from one bottle to another, and the marble falls out along with the ink, don't dip straight into the ink to retrieve it thinking it will wash off.

 

It also sticks very well to light switches, floors, towels and dogs.

 

After washing for ages, it just turns a livid red, making it look as though you've fried your fingers.

 

Take care with this stuff!

FPN Tulipe Noire today, just a tiny little bit. I do believe that filling a pen without getting some ink on my fingers is beyond my ability. I could wear gloves but that would be cheating . . .

Black Swan in Australian Roses. The converter in my Mont Blanc 144 sprang a leak - the barrel was full of ink - and I unscrewed the barrel to see how the ink supply was doing. I sure found out.

Lie de The. Syringe-filling a converter with the last drops from a Goulet sample only to discover that it was still more than the converter could hold! I look like I've been playing in dirt. :headsmack:

Treves Turquoise. I have it in a Graphomatic which I have been working on to get the flow just right. I have had to remove the nib and feed a couple times to scrape the shellac off a bit at a time to let more ink flow through. I think I have it just right now. Those flexible nibs need to be able to deliver ink when they are flexed, without it running out like a hose when they are not.

Diamine Syrah - it looks like I have a dreadful injury :headsmack:

 

Ah, Syrah -- my favourite red sofar, eventhough I just flushed it from my pen and switched to Umber. Umber might just be Syrah's green counterpart.
