Tough isn't it . . .

 

I've got about 60ml of "Brown Dreggs" mostly made up of failed Mocha mixes.

 

I don't try to mix Mocha any more.

When you see how difficult this ink is to get, you will be happy to pay for PPM.

I've heard a few rumors that this ink is archival. Any thoughts??

 

Thanks!!

[amberleadavis]

I think so. Do you want a written sample?

[RayJ]

I just order one bottle each of light and dark as a birthday present to me.

I'll post a writing sample when I'll fill a pen with it.

Happy Birthday! We look forward to seeing it.

The Hakase seems similar to my "Biber's Bistre" mix of Diamine Golden Brown and Lamy Black:

Thank you Amberlea.

I have asked him to ship it on 16th since I have some exams until then. I have this really bad habit of updating the tracking too often and it will distract me from studying.

 

I can send you a letter with both light and dark if you like. May take some time though.

I like the novelty of the ink and its bottle, but the color, I dunno. I'm on the fence.

I'd love to see them, whenever you get them. I wish you well with exams.

Not really on the fence... for the price I will say I am not impressed at all. I can see its use as an artist ink.. for sketches, but for normal use as a writing ink, is too light for me.

Your pen looks very much like a Deccan Advocate. In any case it will have an ebonite feed. I suggest you try to heat set the feed using the hot water method. Hold the nib and feed in just boiled water up until the point where they meet the section. Hold for 30 seconds, then take out and press them together with your fingers. Repeat if necessary. Flow should improve after that.

Most Deccan pens I have, if they flow inconsistently, do yield to this treatment, although I will admit most of them flow well out of the box...

On my actual co-razy sheet, the ink is darker than in the picture above. It's certainly usable. But I'd never pay a lot of money for it as Noodler's (FPH) Old Dutch Colony Sepia is a very good substitute.

 

I'll send in my sheet once I finish my PPM co-razy sheet. I have some more work to do on that one.

[amberleadavis]

Does that mean that the ink is darkening over time?

I am glad to hear that.... with a name like "Dark Sepia".. I will say it is false advertising if it looks like on Amber's writing samples..

 

I can't imagine what "Light Sepia" looks like..
