Whenever you are ready to send your samples, send a PM to GEODUC (Keeper of Address). GeoDuc will then send you my snail mail address.

 

Samples should be full sheets of paper. On the paper include your FNP User Name.

 

Be sure to send a message to this thread including your user name, what type of paper, what inks, what pens or any other information you deem relevant).

 

Stay posted for any other news and information.

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

Brause dip pen with a 1.0 mm nib

@ LagNut - Chairman of the Peoples Committee on Paper

I've added some other papers to my samples. I've already included the same inks on other samples.

I added

  1. Some of the stationary I use. It's a recycled ivory / granite paper. The link for it is here. http://www.southworth.com/specialty/granite-specialty-paper/
  2. I also added some doodles from my journals. The journals are made by Piccadilly and are 100 GSM Acid free (whatever that actually means).

Wow! I just counted the swabs I made of my inks/samples over this past weekend and I only have 45. This doesn't count the order I placed with Goulet on Saturday! :embarrassed_smile:

Comrades,

 

As the Chairman of the Peoples Committee on Paper, I would like to suggest that you consider paper choices along with ink choices in the samples you are sending.

 

Among the pure cellulose choices, there may or may not be a great deal to choose. Personally, I will be sending a number of choices even within this group -

 

Rhodia

Clairfontaine

Maruman

Engineering paper - 3 colors

Cheap computer paper

Photo computer paper

Cheap notebook (school) paper

 

However, there are other choices that I think the accelerated historical imperative of the Las Vegas Sun could shed light on the inevitability of:

 

Map grade computer paper (waterproof)

Waterproof note paper

sugar cane paper

bamboo paper

rice paper

 

The entries in red are ones that I do not have easy access to, but I think would be an interesting thing to know. The waterproof papers I do have, and will be part of the Peoples Paper Chairman's submission. The others are suggestions to people who do have these in their easy grasp and would be interested to see what the sun will do with them. There might also be other paper/writing media that the Chairman has failed to mention, but would be interesting. If you do think of something, I'd suggest sharing the idea so that others can join in, or you might give spark to an idea in someone else.

 

What difference could paper make? Not ever having left paper sitting in the back shelf of my car for years, I couldn't imagine. There are, however, reactionary fables of paper lightening and darkening, becoming fantastically brittle, almost like ash.

 

At any rate, I leave this to our collective imagination.

The "REAL" caboose. You can easily see which side gets the direct sun.

I am using Circa Rhodia paper. I do have some rice paper that I use for Chinese ink painting. I also have some strips of Arches Platine paper, if any one is interested in that paper. I use it for pt/pd printing, so there is acid in it-the process involves multiple washes in water, so by the end, there is no acid left in the paper. I don't know if that is important or not for these tests.

 

Anyway, my Goulet order arrived today!!!!

Off topic I know, but I love your ink drawing of a tree. It's so happy and cheerful. Just what I needed!

Does anyone have any interest in resizing the images (uploading them to my web server or some other location) and posting the links back to here? I could really use the help.

 

I have the next batch of photos scanned.

I'm making my submission this weekend. Was a list ever constructed? So far I have Binder Burgundy and Sheaffer Red. Next up are DC Supershow Blue, Pendleton Blaqua, DC Supershow Blue, Diamine Green Black, Iroshizuku Yu Yake, and R&K Helianthus. Should I skip any of those? Thanks.
