What Do You Have Inked?

[sdbruder]

I’m having a dilemma that will probably be already well know for you guys here. I was thinking about testing a new ink. Then something clicked with me: Hmmm, I have more pens inked than these 4 here… and went to test.

 

Result: I have 7 inked pens and 2 to clean. So my test-new-ink night became clean-pens night.

The answer is: quite a few (too many!!) and one other not pictured.

And once again, I cannot figure out how to embed an image

oregano, and anyone else struggling with images, try this next time

 

- use "upload" at the top of the FPN page

- follow the directions about picking the source, either your hard drive or a hosting site

- "add image"

- once the image has uploaded, FPN will give you three lines of different code... I copy the line that says "direct link"

- in your new post click on the image icon (eleventh fro the left) to open another "do something window"

-paste the direct link code in there

 

and that ought to get you where you want to go. I usually don't worry about the apparent size of the photo in the post editing box because it seems to work out when you post it. Good luck!

 

Sweet pens by the way!

​Oregano;

 

I feel your pain with the image issue, seems I have to 're-learn' this every time I want to post a pic, but sheesh great collection of pens to suffer the 'too many' issue with. Is that a green O' green? One of the very first Pelikans I really lost my head over.

[oregano]

Thanks, Bill! It seems I picked the wrong link. I will remember that next time. Dr Codfish, that's the one I died over too, apart from the Piccadilly circus--happy to have them both, finally! I just got the M101N red tortoiseshell, an early birthday present ...

Lamy 99
- OF
- All time favorite nib and pen, light, no fuss, very precise.

Lamy 2000
- Weird soft and finicky MK (goes from 0.5 to 0.9 mm easy).
- Early 70s version.
- Still really on the fence about this one ergonomics wise but giving it a chance because of that nib...

Parker 51 Aero
- EF
- It just works, nib is great for drafting.

Parker 51 Aero
- M/B (0.75mm line).
- Very wet writer.

rOtring Art Pen mod.
- 1.1 mm italic.
- Great EDC with a lovely nib.

rOtring Art Pen
- 1.5 mm italic

Pelikan 100N Green
- B (Breitspitze Mittel), stubby
- Post war model.

Pelikan 100N Black
- EF (EEF? 0.3 mm line).
- Post war model.

Pelikan 400NN Tortoise
- OM
- Smoooooth but controlled.
- One of my favorite writers.

The Woodshed Pen Co.
- 1.1 mm italic (Jowo #6).
- Awesome writer with a great nib.
- Love the long section, very comfortable.

So that is my mix for now. Inks range from Pelikan 4001 BB & Turquoise to vintage Royal Blue Quink (the first ”New! Quink” from who knows when... still works a treat on the EF Parker 51). Few mixes too with Pelikan and MB BBs as bases. I love this hobby.

I have four Pelikan's inked at present. They are:

 

M200 blue marbled old style OB - Diamine Saddle Brown

M200 brown marbled M - Sheaffer Skrip Emerald Green (vintage)

M200 Cognac F - Diamine Teal

140 F - Pelikan 4001 Blue Black

 

Everything currently inked is a manufacturer beginning with P or T. (10 total)

Pelikan - 4

Parker - 2

Pilot

Platinum

A Pelikan M1000 turned up here today for no obvious reason other than a slight reduction in my funds. Second hand, it seems to have an observable quantity of a dark or black ink in it so, technically, I can add it to the M805 OS as currently inked Pelikans.

[IndigoBOB]

I'm loving my Lamy Vista-F with Sailor Kiwa Guro. It's a perfect EDC and works great on cheap paper.

[mitto]

An old style M400 with press fit nib unit and a full flex nib. I am afraid BO BO would soon chime in chiding me for having described a M400 nib as full flex. But the nib really is a full flex. May be came out by mistake from the factory.

Pelikam M320 ruby red, pelican violet.

[alfredop]

M400 (old type green striped) with Mb emerald green.

M605 (dark blue) with Diamine Kensington blu.

Pelikan 400NN, finally with a satysfying ink flow, filled currently with Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black with a tad of Brilliant Black added.

 

So this is now how my small flock presents itself:

 

 

[invisuu]

M805 Stresseman with Montblanc Corn Poppy Red and M800 Blue stripes with Pelikan Edelstein Tanzanite.

 

I cant put down the M800s. These two have literally been inked up since the day I bought them, 8 months ago.

[Marcwithac]

Three generations - a green 100, a brown 400 and a blue M800.
