Isn't that the oddest thing? Suddenly you play with an ink and it speaks to you, and it's the one you've been looking for for a long time? Crazy, right? :)

Yes I love it when that happens! I found my perfects in a couple couples (thanks to samples!), but am still looking for a orange, blue, and red. Edited by musicman123

Are you loving for the other colors or looking? (After all, your cat tried to seduce me today).

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

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Looking! And fixed on my post! I didn't intend for my profile picture to be that. It just happened. I may switch it back to the seduction cat soon! :)

A very interesting orange comparison: I've heard the (silly, IMHO) talk that "Akkerman inks are just repackaged Diamine." Not so.

 

In a dip pen, Diamine's Pumpkin looks identical to Akkerman's Oranje Boven, but the Q-Tip swab washes are totally different.

 

See for yourselves:

I love Orange inks.

 

BTW, the chromatography shows these to be similar, but they could have an additive that makes them different.

Interesting idea. I hadn't thought of that. Good point.

The scans make these look retina searing. They are not.

Handsome inks —based on the scan. My kinds of colors, too. I do love that red-orange range, but not as much the "circus peanut" bright orange.

 

Thanks for the comparo-view.

Duking it out tonight: Diamine's Gerbera and Pumpkin. May the best orange win...

Gerbera is slightly richer and darker, while Pumpkin brighter and lighter (in my opinion).

I know what you mean! On the page, the two colors are noticeably different, but the scan sort of evened them out. I wonder if that's part of the scanner design —leveling out the variations? Hmmmm...

That could be. The Gerbera is also a tad shady and that doesn't show in the scan.

Not exactly orange, but not exactly brown either. So I posted to both TODs. The exquisite Brandy Dazzle brought to you by Diamine Shimmertastic Inks!

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

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
