Lloyd, your wish is my command :notworthy1:

 

 

 

 

Would you mind teaching this behavior to my wife and daughter?

Thanks for being so helpful and informative about the new colours fuchsiaprincess, like everyone else I'm drooling over far too many!

 

May I further impose on your helpfulness and ask for side by sides of the Grape and Merlot (and if you have the Damson to compare and contrast too that would be the icing on the proverbial)?

 

I'm definitely leaning more towards the Grape, but the Merlot looks nice too. Will probably end up with both - no surprise!

 

Cheers!

Here it is :thumbup: I tried to match the Merlot, Grape and Damson as best as I could. The Amazing Amethyst is much less purple than it appears in the scan, leaning towards a blueish Damson.....

Merlot looks like a Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses, PR Black Cherry, R&K Alt Bordeaux competitor. It looks like it is very well behaved (no feathering or bleeding it would appear, along with your good testimony of its behavior), and it even looks like it shades extremely well! In fact, it looks like it may be directly targeting the BSAR fans. I am excited to try this one out (even though BSAR is perfect in my opinion)!! :D

 

And of course, thanks for the continued writing samples! :notworthy1:

Wow, thanks for the most informative written comparisons. Looks like they highlight the performance difference with varying nibs and papers, too. Good they aren't all available right now - would loose the final vestiges of my sanity deciding which two I could afford to acquire!

first fountain pen: student Sheaffer, 1956

next fountain pen: Montblanc 146 circa 1990

favourite ink: Noodler's Zhivago

favourite pen: Waterman No. 12

most beautiful pen: Conway Stewart 84 red with gold veins, oh goodness gracious

Fab! Thank you! I think it must be my monitor settings but I'm not seeing much difference between the grape and the damson at all and I'm liking the Merlot much more than I thought I would. This is so good of you. Still going to get both whenever they come out - oh and Ancient Copper, just like the rest of the world... :thumbup:

No, not your monitor settings. It was difficult, adjusting the scan to be as close as the original as possible. The Merlot is a lot darker than it is in real life. Does shade well though. Grape is in the middle between Merlot and Damson (which is slightly bluer).

Any chance of getting a comparison between the Diamine Sunset and Iroshizuku Persimmon? I quite like the Persimmon...just not enough to buy a whole bottle.

Thanks for posting these scans! I love Diamine's reds and oranges. Sunset and Matador are nice additions. Soft Mint, after a second glance, calls to me. Ancient Copper might be the perfect ink for a Visconti Homo Sapiens.

I totally agree with you! I can't wait those inks... Matador will be beautiful in my HS too.

 

Edited: fuchsiaprincess, thank you for sharing with us!

Is there any chance you could post a writing sample of Beau Blue?? :embarrassed_smile:

It's no trouble at all, if you can't :)

I'd love to see a comparison between Sargasso Sea and Penman Sapphire. Anyone? :) :) :)

 

Also, I'm desperate for at least four of those inks. And they all come out in spring and summer of 2012. :crybaby: Grape, Merlot, Sargasso Sea, and Bilberry and the breakaway winners for me.
