Which Inks Are You Using Today?

Northstar, your works are stunning!

 

Today I did some flushing and inking up, according to the properties of inks and nibs that I obsersved. Mostly I've used the new kids on the block, Diamine Salamander and Diamine Macassar.

I am traveling overseas next week and make a habit of not leaving any pens inked while I am away. As of yesterday, I am down to one pen, inked with Sailor Kobe Suma Purple.

I think I'm a touch obsessed with Rohrer and Klingner Sepia, I can't put down the pen that's inked with it!

Do you use dip pens at all? I have a dip pen from around 1900, and R & K Sepia is my favorite ink to use with it, because of the vintage look.

Today I have used KWZI IG Turquoise, KWZI El Dorado, vintage Sheaffer Skrip Emerald Green, and Lamy Pacific.

With the lovely weather here in California I am using Iroshizuku Chiku-Rin. I think its a lovely green ink for the spring time. I use it to take notes in class.

I have a dip pen with a G pen nib installed. Do you think it'll work well? Anyway, I'll give it a try next time I practice my Spencerian.

We all write differently, but yes, I use Sepia with a G nib and enjoy the look.

 

As for what ink I'm using today, yesterday my pen inked with Sailor Kobe Suma Purple ran dry, so I filled the converter part way with water and am now writing with the much diluted ink, which reminds me of Kaweco Summer Purple.

I am traveling today and, as usual, have emptied all my pens.

 

The fountain pen I am taking on my trip is a Kaweco Sport with a Kaweco Summer Purple cartridge, and I know I'll be tempted to use it on the plane, but I probably won't dare.

[RoyalBlueNotebooks]

Changed inks for two pens so I've used them all to track what is in what but my 3 daily writers are

Rohrer & Klingner Salix (I've decided to always have an iron gall ink on my desk)

GvFC Olive Green cartridge

Diamine Salamander.
