Pilot Iroshizuku Full Line (24 Inks)

[A Smug Dill]

Out of the 14 colours of iroshizuku ink I have, I think I like syo-ro, tsuki-yo (which is so fitting in my Pilot raden galaxy V.P.!) and ama-iro best, and ina-ho the least. I have an order containing shin-kai and yama-budo coming this week, and I expect shin-kai to go to close to the top of my list. On the list of yet to buy, ku-jaku is at the top of my list.

 

I don't mind chiku-rin, but even though I normally favour fine nibs, I think the colour requires a broader nib to be useful to me.

 

Take-sumi though, shocked me, it didn't flow at all, it induced skipping in my Pilot Vp and my Montblanc 146 as well as 220.

 

 

I've never seen the take-sumi ink induce skipping in my Faber-Castell Ambition with a steel EF nib (which, by the way, feels toothy as hell). After reading your post, I decided to fill my Sailor 1911 fitted with a Naginata concord nib with take-sumi as well and give it a go; again, though, I didn't see any skipping. That said, I haven't tried it in any of my Pilot Vanishing Point F nibs.

I love these inks. I've been using Yu-yake and Tshukushi for years without any problems (as a teacher, I experiment lots of different papers !!!). Even after a while not using it, the pen writes perfectly !

I've been a dedicated fan of these inks since they were issues. Asa-gao is my daily ink with kon-peki and ku-jaku close alternates. I've never written with a smoother ink, but they seem to be a bit wet for some pens.

I think this set of inks is pretty much perfect. But the cap just disintegrated in my hand a couple days after I got my first bottle lol.
