That's a great gift.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Blackstone Cashmere Red at 8% -- a gift from TheRealScubaSteve. But I need to run a c/c pen dry.

 

And having seen what's probably Noodler's Eel Blue, I want that.

You will love the Red Cashmere. Has a nice sheen on better paper with a wide nib. (I noticed it in a Noodler's Konrad with a Goulet Broad nib)

I have some a sample of Rohrer & Klingner Scabiosa in one of my Pelikan M205's right now. Have decided it will be one of the next bottle purchases.

I'll be getting a few Sailor inks from Japan, so I'll be playing with those happily. Also super tempted to get the Diamine Terracotta, but my drawer has run out of space! Oops.

Japanese inks. Great flow. Unique shades. Easy to clean. Highly acceptable drying behaviour.

 

 

The minus is that they are not cheap, mid-premium to luxe plus, I think.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
