Week #14 / 2 Apr: $Nk - 2017 Weekly Ink Project

[lgsoltek]

This week, use your most expensive ink. Make your own definition of the word "expensive"!

As usual, don't forget to share with us your choice of ink, your writing, drawing, doodling or anything with the ink in this thread. You can take a photo, make a scan, or even better, write letters and CRV reviews (what is a CRV?) and mail them to the many ink pals here. You are welcome to check back on this thread even when we've gone past this week.

I couldn't decide and so I chose 2:

 

 

 

The pen used is a Pilot Custom Heritage 92 with a Medium Nib and the paper is Tomoe River White.

 

The second entry:

Currently, my most expensive ink is Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo. I love this ink's color... I drew my first mandala (I think I need some practice!

juulz, this mandala looks great!
Especially in yama budo.

OCD me recalculated price per ml... naturally.. deducted discount codes, added shipping.. good I caught the bug just over a year ago, otherwise I'd start adding and deducting who knows what (parking ticket to the B&M shop...)

It is another Iroshizuku, The Tsuki-Yo

Instead of trying to mix the perfect blue/black for my bullet journal, perhaps I should just get some of this! It's wonderful!

It's especially nice on cream-colored paper. And it's got some water resistance, and so far, hasn't faded (though it's only been ~a month - I wrote on copy paper, ran it under water, then taped it to the window here at the office - still readable (though I wonder if the windows in this building block UV or something that might cause it to fade - no clue)).

Yummy.

I should have pulled the trigger on their Blue 01 when I had the chance

That's one crazy magenta! Do you get much use out of it?

 

As is typical, I created a spreadsheet to select my most expensive ink. Here's the result:

Well my handwriting is getting worse! But I have a excuse I just got the pen and am getting used to the oblique medium nib. Love it tho!

My most expensive ink also just arrived: it was delivered at home yesterday. I've loaded it in my red Guider Onyx which is not an eyedropper, so I will use less of the ink per filling...

I don't buy inks that are more expensive than a bottle of Scotch...

That's OK, as long as you paid for any ink, you have an ink that is "most expensive" for you. Also, per the discussion in the main thread, you can define "expensive" any way you want (e.g. the ink that ruined your shirt or couch could be "most expensive").

Here is my most expensive ink, Pilot Iroshizuku Tsutsuji. It is available for much less, but the immediate gratification was necessary.

I regret nothing.

 

Inkvisibly yours,
