Which Inks Are You Using Today?

[Tas]

Vintage (?) Quink Black - Solv-X - INCREDIBLE cleaning properties and a very very dark blue black look to it.

After a couple of weeks, or more, Sailor's Doyou sadly failed to clean up the Ellis Island stain in my TWSBI 540

 

I've had the Solv-X in the pen for under an hour an the pink stain has gone.

Somehow using two troublemakers seems to have finally brought something more interesting out of the ink: Souten and Sonnet.

Great choices. Both are lovely inks.

Today it was vintage Skrip V-Black, in the Sheaffer Balance Oversize which used to belong to my husband's grandfather.

Yesterday, it was what was in the other three pens I had with me over the weekend:

vintage Quink Permanent Violet, in the Forest Green 51 Aerometric;

MB Beatles Psychedelic Purple LE, in the Pelikan M120 Iconic Blue;

and Edelstein Olivine LE, in the vintage Pelikan 400 (that OB nib *really* makes Olivine look spectacular, even if it's not my favorite green.
