Just for fun I used Diamine Syrah in an 1950s Montblanc 146 with an OB nib and after I'd had enough of the drills, I used a Montblanc 3-42G from the same era with a flexible medium nib and Private Reserve Tropical Blue to play with.

Diamine Bilberry

Nikita Red

Gruene Eel

Iroshizuku Momiji in a Pilot 78G B

 

This 78G has been drying out or clogging almost between strokes. I notice the pen itself is a heavy writer. IOW, needs lotta pressure to get flow and B line width. Could the fact I jes changed from Rattler Red Eel to Momiji w/o cleaning pen mean I'm getting some clogging or stickyness of ink? Constant stoppage problem didn't occur before ink change, even though pen was always a heavy writer.

 

I'm real new to the FP world, so am not hip to all the ins/outs of mixing inks.

Currently inked:

Parker 51 with PR American Blue

Cross Century II with J. Herbin Lie de The

Noodler's Ahab with Noodler's Kikita which I received yesterday and so far love.

Noodler's free ED with Caran D'Ache Amazon. I hope I like one of my other green samples from Goulet equally well given the price of a full bottle.
