Nice

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

If you have Salix, try mixing the two, they are terrific together.

I wanted to see how the Monteverde Purple (my first ink by that manufacturer —with "ITF Technology®"!) compared to the KZW Gummi Berry:

I am counting down until next year when they open HP world in Cali. We will definitely take a family vacation there! :D

A vintage ink that deserves attention. It dries very light, but it's a lovely shade.

A bit brighter and more saturated is J. Herbin's Violette Pensée. In terms of hue and tint, almost identical to the scented Violette, and since the scent reminds me of my mother's perfume from when we were little, I'll go with the scented version. Thanks for sharing, Cindy!

The scented J. Herbin Violette has a terribly pale colour. It feathers a ton. And that smell is overwhelming. I dumped it before finishing a converter of it. After a few weeks and several other inks, the pen still smells of that Violette. It's like a lingering nightmare.

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

Well, that's what makes us all different. I love the scent, and I love the color. Sorry it didn't work for you. It's one of my all-time favorites...

I know people love and hate the Pelikan Edelstein series of inks, but I have had mostly excellent experiences with the colors I've tried.

 

The 2015 ink is probably my favorite so far: Amethyst. I LOVE this ink.

 

Just exactly right in so many ways. The one thing I'll need to check on is 1) whether it fades in sunlight, and 2) if it stains celluloid pens. I'm getting the sense that it may be a stainer, but I'll need to investigate that a bit further.

Correct me if I am wrong, isn't the regular J.H. Violette Pensee better behaved and more saturated than the scented version? I used to have it . . . it too has a scent of violets but it is subtle, not overpowering at all.

One of my favorite inks ~ Monteverde Purple.

It is more vibrant in real life. I can not seem to catch the beauty of this ink on the screen...it is gorgeous. Get a sample, you may fall in love like I did....

Nice demonstration of the ink. That's pretty close to the color I see on paper!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      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
