[amberleadavis]

I've written up a few pages with 4 inks so far. Need to flush amd fill with the last then i can post my reviews, should be done tomorrow! Thanks for your patience im just a little ocd so i like to give more than "colors great" or "ew i'll never use this" lol

 

So long as you are having fun.

I need more flex pens cuz these 2 reds... Uhhhhggg i cant use them really, just like the orange sample and the purples i have. 90% of me whipping out a pen is for business or legal so i HAVE to use blue/black... So i make up for it with flex lol im TRYING to start a bujo but then it ends up black/blue cuz i only have one flex nib pen... I knew where this was going the moment i HEARD about fountain pens with flex nibs... "Oooooh this is gunna get expensive fast" LOL

[amberleadavis]

DMACT, as an attorney all of my inks are for business or legal. I use a lot of bright colors.

 

Don't forget you can also add a dash of back to the color to darken it. Only mix is small batches.

Our court here is very... Gripey... about almost anything. They accept my blue signatures but i get an earful everytime. Never write an inmate with a fountain pen... I thought it would be a good excuse to use them? Even the most rigurously bulletproof inks have had SOME level of bleeding if they get wet... Prisons will reject even microscopic bleed (or even if the envelope discolors because it got wet in the mail). Lol you're super lucky to get to use such freedom with your inks, mine all lavish in the dark recesses of my bujo

When have to write to prisoners I make sure to use the laser printer (not the inkjet) and I use Noodler's Luxury Blue. It shows in UV and does not move with water.

[Dmact]

Eh now? Really... Luxury blue you say? I shall have to give that a test. Our local sytem is even worse than the federal prisons, they will just randomly deny inmates letters for X excuse. One letter i sent the inmate said the guards confiscated it for being written in pencil, it was baystate blue. One they said i used marker, it was baystate blue. One they said wasnt written in blk/blue, it was... Wait for it... Bay...state... Blue. I gave up and only mail them stuff if its absolutely impossible to do through the inmate email system, cheaper anyway

Thank you, Amberlea. I've posted my review of Seitz-Kreuznach Arctic Blue. This is a very pretty not quite turquoise not quite green, quite unsaturated.

...well, the scan didn't come out perfectly, but you get the drift

[Dmact]

Ok i have a few pages written up but my scanner/printer is being... Difficult. For whatever reason it's not playing pattycake with the network. As soon as i get it online again i will update

If anyone wants any Texas Navy, let me know. I'll be happy to PiF.

If I were in the US, I'd take you up on that. I do like those dark, almost nondescript navy blues. But to get it, via mail, all the way out here, naaah... not worth both our trouble. Thanks for offering though. I did notice you did not restrict to the US, which I much appreciate.
