I totally understand matching the inks to the outside of the pens.

 

That would get me into trouble with more than a few. Which ink would you match to a clear demonstrator?

Noodler's Blue Ghost?

 

Haha!

I just got a new Lamy Safari in white and I am seriously challenged as to what ink I should use. I'm looking at the grey o-ring... I think I'll try J.Herbin's Gris Nuage...

 

MontBlanc Oyster Grey.... I love the shading/variation and the ease of cleanup.... it's great... especially when you can find it on sale...

 

I was just admiring your earlier post! How can you resist such lovely shading :)

 

To be completely honest.... it is the first grey I have used that does not seem like "washed out black" ... it is a grey with depth. Realize this is coming from a Noodler's Ink nut... not a MB fanatic. I think it is ironic that I have MB ink in a Noodler's Pen right now... and Noodler's Liberty's Elysium in my MontBlanc 149. The irony helps me sleep at night... that and I finally talked my wife into accepting that it is cool enough outside to start using the flannel sheets again.

Yeah, gray is not washed out black!

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

So, I ran out of ink in some pens and had to refill, and I wanted to post up some pics for another demonstrator user. So, here are some of the pens today.

We do need to branch you out into at least a little color. :)

What? Blue is not a color? :)

 

The Future now has Waterman Florida Blue, and the Agio now has Noodler's Dragon's Napalm (Orange); seemed the right next ink to try, given the season.

FIRST POST!!!

 

Long time lurker... first time poster!!!

 

My inked girls are below. I tried to match barrel and ink color as much as possible.

 

The Waterman was originally inked with Herbin - Orange Indien, but she was not happy. She became real dry/skippy and very scratchy, we switched to PR - Black Magic Blue and now she is singing... :clap1: I am waiting on Diamine Orange to see if I can make both of us happy !!

 

I am also looking for a darker red... The Waterman red.. is just "meh".. :huh: (I am considering Noodler's Red-Black and Widow Maker)

 

 

They are all fantastic writers!! The waterman can be temperamental with some inks thou. :glare:

What makes the Waterman so temperamental? Did you find the red you want?

Lol, blue is a color and you seem to be experiencing the 50 shades of blue. Glad to know you are trying Napalm which I think of as Merry Mercurochrome.

Ah, yes, that's what happens, one little pen sucks us un, and makes us addicts.

So, I used up all the ink in my various pens and I had to clean them and refill them.

 

Oh, and I got a few new ones. embarrassed_smile.gif

 

 

So, here's an updated picture of my currently inked babies.
