Having So Many Inks

[amberleadavis]

 

 

Inks I could live without:

* DeAtramentis Document Ink, Fuchsia - I keep this only for markup. Love the pure fuchsia color, and it's nice to have markup be permanent. When I use it up, I'll probably replace it with Yama Budo.

* DeAtramentis mint turquoise - leans green and runs a bit dry. I write on cream colored paper, and it's a bit hard to read back when it's dry.

* Diamine Havasu Turquoise - love the color, but it's so bright that it's difficult to read back when written with on cream-colored paper. Also a bit wet for some of my papers. And in a fine nib, it can get lost on the page because it tends toward pale.

* Diamine Red Dragon - nice for markup, but I find the color a bit meh. Not a big red fan. I use it mostly during the holidays.

 

If I could find another good off-black that was water resistant, I'd be happy.

 

If you get bored with them, send them my way.

 

The DeA Doc Ink is one of the best mixing inks I own. It will make any dry ink wetter and it makes any other ink water resistant.

 

Mint Turquoise doesn't get much activity in my rotation either, but it's water resistant and fade resistant.

 

As for DHT and DRD, I love them both.
