Shhh, don't tell anyone - I know it is a couple of weeks away, but I am already stressing about which is my wettest ink. I just don't know how to tell. I know my *driest* inks, but absolutely no idea how to identify the wettest ones.

Well at least you have Week #48 prepared!

Is there a definitive wetness test? So if I got my list down to 5 or so inks I read are considered wet, is there a way I could test them to compare them. I really don't even know what I am looking for.

For me it's more of a kind of feeling. As you write you can feel the ink flowing onto the paper effortlessly, you don't need to press hard to have a wet amount of ink on paper.

The 6.0 mm Pilot Parallel will solve your "searching for the wettest ink problem" without any doubt. If you have Sailor Doyou or Perle Noire or Aurora Black, the evidence itself proves this claim.

Thanks guys - will have a play with the 6mm beast :-).

 

Should really start thinking about iron gall inks now though.

If you're like me, you ,ight find yourself having to plan this out a little in advance (not enough pens!). If so, you might find a spreadsheet version helpful. I've put one together: anyone can use. Follow the link below; let me know if you can't get access.
