If anyone can contact one of the online retailers, (Goulet's, IsellPens, JetPens, Cultpens, MissingPen) it would be really really helpful to get a table of the ink manufacturers, ink names, and ink colors. The thought is if we can get a spreadsheet with that information, we would save hours and hours of typing and then we would add our information (image locations, and fade results).

 

If we could get hold of a consistent (!) set of swabs then I could easily make a good first pass with the same (but corrected) method I used to sort all the Diamine inks: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/250366-all-diamine-inks-compared/?do=findComment&comment=2743440

 

Anybody know if Mr Goulet’s swabs are available for download and if he would mind if I sorted them? They are probably the most consistent set and would cover a good percentage of the inks used. We don’t need to republish the swabs, just a long table with the names, category (categories?) and of course a link back to the Goulet web site.

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

So.... here are some early results.

 

I took two boards and posted them up in the office. Each ink here has an additional sample at the caboose.

As you know, I "encourage" my children to use fountain pens, and I "strongly encourage" their participation in my inky experiments. Here is a short story about how my children respond to those inky encouragements.

What an absolutely hilarious story.

 

I am currently imagining what sort of set-up one might have to construct to pin a child to a window ... ;)

 

Hmmm .... the possibilities ...

Thank you! He's a big kid so even though the window has a small shelf, he won't fit.

You need to invalidate the Noodler's Black Eel lines on my pages.

 

I just inked up that sample in a pen, and it was a much different and darker color than I had on those fade test pages, even when written on the same paper. I have to conclude that I must not have adequately got the water out of the pen's feed I was using to dip and write the fade test samples. I have not had any similar surprise with any of the other inks I dipped for the fade test and subsequently inked; I don't think it was a systematic error. But that one ink is definitely screwed up on the fade test sheets I made.

I'm taking the first boards down today. I found some interesting side effects. OH MY. Stay tuned.

When I was a practising Large Format Inkjet Printer technician, I found that there was an inverse relationship between the permanence of those inks (which tend to come in 1 litre containers) and how hard it was to get off me. The long-term permanent inks came off fairly easily, whilst the cheapy 'fade in a week in a sunny window' inks took several days to come off my hands.

So, here is what the caboose looked like in December 2012, just before the subjects arrived.

Here is the caboose in 2014 with the subjects being tortured.
