MB Lavender Purple in my Platinum 3776 Shungyo F. I liked this combination so much I refilled my pen instead of changing to a different pen & ink.

I will probably finish a fill of Diamine Grape, which I am contented to observe has not exhibited flow problems in my Platinum Balance pen.

 

Otherwise, I am using a mixture of Rohrer & Klingner Solferino and Scabiosa in a Dollar pen.

Lamy Coral. I don't use it often but am reminded when I do what an interesting color it is. Is it a pinkish orange or an orange-y pink?

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

On this morning: take-sumi.

 

My bottle of Take-sumi finally arrived yesterday and I put it in a Sheaffer Cadet w/ F1 nib this morning. Already written about 2 1/2 small pages with it and will be taking it to work tonight for further testing.

Robert Oster's Fire & Ice in a Jinhao X750 with Nemosine 0.8mm nib. Also Waterman's Absolute Brown in a Lamy with 1.1mm nib that I tweaked for increased ink flow (that ink really loves high saturation to bring out its full beauty).

1) Unknown black ink (likely Quink Black) that flushed out of the new-to-me Parker 61 (M? nib) I got last weekend at the Ohio Pen show.

2) Diluted Edelstein Amethyst in M405 (EF nib).

3) Diluted Platinum Classic Black Forest IG ink in the the Safari, F nib.

Noodler's Walnut brown in Kaweco Perkeo (F nib).
