I have some Sailor sheeny friends to share! Paper is Hobonichi memo book with Tomoe River paper and a 3.7mm grid.

 

First up is Grenade:

Next, I've got Shigure. I found that I didn't get too much sheen out of it at first, but now that I am at the very end of a fill, running on fumes etc, it's a sheen monster!

Like, this is what the normal colour is:

Here's a start-of-a-fill vs end-of-a-fill comparison.

And some Yama-Dori for good luck, though I can't wait until THAT ink can do once the pen is running low:

Great job! I love seeing these.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Does anyone else find that the places where the ink has sheen looks strange straight on? I went to write with a pen filled with Oku-Yama a few days ago, and for the first paragraph or so, it was drying brown rather than the lovely red. This pen had sat for several days without being used, and it is near the end of a fill. I actually tried to Google info about the ink turning brown, and then stumbled on this thread. I slanted that page to look at from the side, and sure enough, the brown parts are a lovely sheen! But it's only lovely from the side. (Btw, this is on boring notebook paper. Can't help but wonder what it would have done on Tomoe River that day.)

 

Thanks!

Not sure if it has been mentioned here yet - forgive me if it has - but Diamine's Steel Blue has an even more impressive sheen on Tomoe River Paper than Yama-dori (I didn't think that would be possible!)

I was just playing with some inks and thought I might just post it. No writing sample just a puddle of ink. It is not this pronounced in a pen of course. This is the PR Tanzanite.

Has anyone had the opportunity to look at Diamine's 150th Anniversary Inks specifically for sheen?

I will be getting at least one soon. Then I will report back. But I would like to know too, if anyone had the chance to try them.

I have seen pictures of Blue Velvet with a red sheen but I would be interested in finding out about the others. I will be picking up Blue Velvet when Goulet has it back in stock.

I'm definitely getting Safari but I'm yet to decide about the other. Maybe Silver Fox but I'm not sure.

Blue Velvet looks great, let us know your findings once you got it. I'm interested in that one as well.
