    i remember that i've bought this ink in the morning from the stationary shop, about 7 am. i was going to have an exam in the school. i was stunned when i tested it. yes, i was testing this ink, where i should better prepare for the exam :D i've been using it for about 6 months and very nice ink. i use it as a default writing ink. my former ink was the classic pelikan 4001 königsblau, and this ink is relatively more condensed. It has a slight reddish sheen which is sometimes annoying, because if your cap seals poorly, then first 3 letters become brown. maybe it is more expensive in the us, but in the europe and nearby countries, it is possible to buy it about 5$.

  • @anguswhite8233
    @anguswhite8233 Місяць тому

    totally agree with you about the colour: Pelikan seems to pretty much nail it with their colour palette, königsblau (royal blue) dunkelgrün (dark green) and black are all great too (sorry, not a fan of turquoise no matter who makes it!); just to give you a heads up: I inked mine in a Pilot78g+ with an EF nib and it did have a tendency to hard start which may be a consequence of it’s iron gall component, but it’s such a pleasing blue/black I’m almost tempted to overlook this slight flaw; thanks for this:)

    The Jinhao x159 lacks the wonderful huge threaded cartridge converter of their x9019, but its grip is significantly less girthy. That makes it more comfortable in my hand. Replacement Jinhao #8 nibs fitting the x159 and the 9019 are inexpensive and readily available, for example on Amazon, so if your nib is defective or you want an EF, F or M replacement in whatever metal color, you have that option. The pen is reliable, well-sealed from drying out, well-balanced and has a reasonable heft. For the price especially, this is a great writing or drawing pen. You can take it along and not worry about the cost of loss.

    Despite the incredible spectrum of colors, sheens, shimmers, and flows out there in the ink world, Parker's Quink remains my all-time favorite ink. It's reliable, and does wonders for every fountain pen! Smoothness and generous flow personified.

      @@TheInkedWell I thought about what it must’ve gone through during shipping, but it is unharmed by that (it was just dropped into a bag, but the box was not even smashed anywhere). I love this color and I feel I’ll go through this bottle faster than I first thought. I’d never purchased an 80 mil bottle of anything before but just the name, aside from the rich color, is as intriguing as the ink. I love it in one of my Lamys, which I pick up every day - all of them I pick up every day. I like coordinating colors when possible, but my WB flows through the charcoal, just for now. The color is a nice contrast with my vintage Cocoa in another pen. I have two boxes of inks from about thirty years ago, and I had favorites that I stopped using temporarily because one, they’re low, and two, I worked a hectic job. But the same inks are still made so I can replenish or find a new color. The vintage colors write the same as when they were new. They were stored tightly capped and in their decorative boxes, which are nice sitting on a bookshelf or desk. I had to use other pens at work (I was in a hospital, no FPs there) but I’ve give up dull work pens for my old friends - and new, and it’s been new and exciting all over again. Thanks again for your suggestion.

    • @sajjadhusain4146
      @sajjadhusain4146 3 місяці тому

      A somewhat tough call. The PC 845 has excellent dimensions in length, size, weight and all-round aesthetics. It is urushi lacquer over ebonite. Fantastic pairing of materials and so well executed. The nib is a good looking two-tone 18k gold that is a consistent, reliable and pleasurable writer. It was for a long time Pilot’s flagship pen, for good reason. The 845 is awfully over-priced in the U.S and Europe, though. Best bought directly from Japan, like I did. I have the black one. And also the flagship, larger, much pricier sibling, the Custom Urushi pen in vermillion. The Optima is just magnificent. One of the very best modern pens currently still being made. The auroloide material is very attractive in the bewildering range of color finish options. The pen is perfectly sized, with a stout barrel and long wide section. I hate posting and even in my medium-large hands, the Optima sits comfortably enough in hand, unposted. The smoothest piston system I’ve ever used. And the nibs with their trademark, lovely feedback is an acquired taste. I love it. I adore Aurora. So, while either of these comparably priced pens is a swell choice of pen to buy, I’d pick the Optima. I own four of them. ❤️

  • @catherinehubbard1167

    My two favorite gray inks and an extra for a lighter shade: 1. Noodler’s Lexington Gray. A dark, transparent gray which is absolutely waterproof and has archive-level permanence when dry. It is also well-behaved in pens, flowing well, drying quickly, and not spreading or bleeding as some other “bulletproof” inks do. It retains its properties when diluted to lighter shades with water and can be used in a waterbrush. My number one sketching ink, but dark and smooth enough for good writing too. And not expensive and available in economy-sized bottles. CAUTION: watch out for the way a new bottle of Noodler’s ink is filled to the very brim; you may want to use an ink syringe or suck directly into the cartridge converter until the level is lower. 2. Monteverde Smoke Noir. A lovely smooth-writing deep gray that looks almost black but is less harsh. Behaves very well in fountain pens and on papers. Interesting behavior with water- only partly lifted by a quick swipe of a water-filled brush, giving a soft wash effect with original lines still visible on at least some papers. Extra: Pilot Iroshizuku Kiri Same (“Misty Rain”). This is a much lighter shade of gray, in my opinion too light for regular writing - though still readable and suitable for some special uses. Like the other Iroshizuku inks, it is very well behaved in fountain pens and on papers and comes in a wonderful glass bottle with a deep dimple inside on the bottom. The gray is an interesting shade, lively for a gray, with hints of warmth, perhaps a bit of subtle peach undertone. This is a good choice for someone who wants a lighter gray. It’s mostly lifted by water, but a bit of the original lines remains.
