2022 Private Reserve American Blue

 

Is that from the reboot line of PR inks?  (Now trying to remember how long it's been since I've used any of my bottles or samples of PR...).

Oh no, @USG- that sucks! I have several of those inks and really like them in Pilots. Is it in any of your pens currently?

At least they don't EAT like Tribbles -- except possibly for one's wallet/discretionary budget....

I have the original release and it's still OK.  This is from 2022.

I have it in a Lamy 2K<OM> and a Pelikan M800<M>.  I haven't done anything about it yet....

I was writing in an Apica B5 "W" notebook and it reminded me why I started making my own "thin" notebooks.  The paper Feathers.

  You got me started on them, with the outline ink search. I have loved them so far. They’re my favorite Amazon impulse purchase. 

 

I don't remember in which thread you recommended Colorverse Fountain Pen Day ink but a bunch of INK samples arrived today and that ink was among them.

 

The way I test the inks is to use a "Dry" nib and a "Wet" nib for each ink.  That lets me see the ink in two saturations.

 

The Dry Long Blade nib looked like this:

 

OK very nice color....

 

But the Wet Pilot nib gave me this: 

IT'S AN OUTLINE INK  !

Been using Tomoe River-S paper

I just started using Sailor #973.  It looks like it has some silver sheen.

Can you see the sheen looking straight down, with out the flash?

I've some 'sheen' inks that I have to tilt.

It picks up a silvery tone when tilted, but it's not a sheener like Jack Frost, you decide....

 

This is what it looks like to the cellphone camera when held directly above the writing:

  I found a random piece of paper I found before bed last night that I think might be the receipt from my Yamamoto order. It’s great for pens. Here it is with a few different pens and inks that I tried on it:

 

 

Nonami EF Safari clone/Lamy Turmaline, Cross Wanderlust M/DeAtramentis Columbia Blue-Bronze-Copper, Nonami IBB/MB Mystery Black (W.Germany) with silver mica.

Nice.  I have a sample of Columbia Blue copper.
