What Do You Have Inked?

[BillH]

Indeed, your access to pens in the wild is something most of us can only imagine... and my wife calls that "magical thinking"

First time I've inked the M800 Laser acquired back in April.

[biancitwo]

I've bought several new inks in the last three months, but my fills remain largely unchanged. My M605 dark blue, with the Pendleton Brown italic M, is filled with Kon-peki. My Tortoise 400NN, with my newly acquired KEF nib, has J. Herbin Bleu Des Profondeurs. My 1933 100 still sports Diamine Blood Orange. Three are great pens, and great inks.

I had flushed my green-striped M300 about a month ago when the last fill of Kana-cho ran out so it was sitting empty when the Stipula Dark Blue came.

Still my Pelikan 140 with Waterman Purple. It's a fairly dry, fine-nibbed pen, so a fill lasts a very long time.

I love PB’s work. Have you used him before?

[Bo Bo Olson]

I've often had many of my Pelikans inked, but started to run out of inked pens.....hurry...I want to use up old inks and with 17 pens inked that's hard to do.

 

Well have two MB's a '50's 742 rolled gold, a Woolf, three Osmia, a pre'97 600 and 1005 in OBB. in bracelet cases...(too good for the cups).....a old Diplomat with Maltese Cross. P-45, E.German Markant.

Pelikan 381, 215 Lozenge, 605 stubbed to 1.0, and the new Marbled Golden Brown 200.

 

Gee that's 13 so for a while I had four or five more inked.(the pen cup looks only half full.

Just remembered two of those Osmia are not inked ....so it's only 11.

Didn't count my Lamy Joy or Lamy Persona, in they are out but have their own play box.................. 13.

My goal is to get down to 5 pens....I'd gotten down to 7, when I bought an assortment of Kaweco ink cartridges and my wife surprised me with three MB inks I didn't have....two, I'd not bought.....but suddenly I had pens filled.

Pens come back from re-corking by Francis and more pens filled.

 

 

Soon, I'll have to get my inked pens down to those in the bracelet cases...........its very hard to do, if I go to inky thoughts or ink reviews impossible.

Good think MB priced it's self out of my range, with it's now E19 for a regular bottle.

 

No...No...can't mumble R&K....away, away spotted hands....well having Lava soap don't have Mrs. McBeth's problem.

I picked up one of his bare TWSBI nibs from eBay awhile back and it really impressed me. I liked it a lot. So when the new M600 and M800 were announced I sent him one of each to perform his BLS magic on so they might be ready to swap into the new arrivals. Looks like I only missed by a few days. Really looking forward to getting them into the rotation.

My 140 is currently inked with Waterman Purple, but I really need to switch to a wetter or more lubricated ink.

[Bo Bo Olson]

Before Noodlers, Waterman was the wet ink.

 

Well, I switched from Waterman blue to DA Royal Blue wanting a bit more lubrication; it was darker with a tinge towards a blue purple....(Royal).

.........see what Ink Reviews says about DA purples.

I think this is where I am headed. Right now I have DA Brilliant Violet with Copper in my Kaweco Sport, and it is very lubricated indeed. I wouldn't use it in my Pelikan 140, because of the particles, but if other DA purples, without particles, are this lubricated, they might be just what my 140 needs.

I’m getting a Pelikan 140 EF back from Pendleton Brown tomorrow. He realigned the tines, and sent me a gorgeous writing sample. Can’t wait. All my other Pelikans remain filled with the same inks they’ve had for months. This one will have Pelikan Aventurine. I have never used that in a flexible nib.
