paradoxmo<a href="https://penfount.social/tags/SwatchWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SwatchWednesday</a> Troublemaker Sage GreenI would say this is mostly a shading ink, but you can see in the pictures there is a bit of this blue sheen where the ink pools. May want a slightly drier pen for this to get a bit more of the shading.<a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPenInk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPenInk</a>

R3ckoHi everyone! I’m looking for a proper Blue-Black ink. Preferably pH-neutral as it will go in my Platypus Pens Model 20. I’ve tried Bungubox 4B and it’s far too wet for this pen.Inks I’m considering:Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black, Waterman Mysterious Blue, Diamine Blue/Black. Thoughts?<a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/fountainpenink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fountainpenink</a>

paradoxmoReally loving this pen/ink match: Parker 51 cocoa/gold with Colorverse Dark Energy.

JessieThere’s just something about this Kaweco Sport Sapphire (Galen Leather Special Edition) inked with Diamine Blue Velvet that is perfection for me. It has basically become my emotional support pen.

Ellyrieve LVKThese are the most Phaelon and Crater coded inks I have found. Now I've just got to continue running down a TWSBI so I can stick Failing Upwards into it.

paradoxmo<a href="https://penfount.social/tags/SwatchWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SwatchWednesday</a> Troublemaker Into the DepthsThis is a deep midnight blue with dark copper sheen. This kind of sheen is a bit unusual on blues and it's quite striking—this color sheen is usually seen on reds or purples.I had kind of pegged Troublemaker as a company that makes light multishaders but I guess they have a bit of range as well!I think this might be good in one of my EF pens.<a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://penfount.social/tags/FountainPenInk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPenInk</a>

Dr. TerriMarch 2025 ink palette & journal suppliesI took these pictures back at the beginning of March and never posted them, so you get them on the last day instead!Image Description: A set of supplies for my journal in March 2025: three sets of dino themed stickers, 1 pencil, 2 thin washi tapes, one wooden mechanical pencil, 5 fountain pens with inks (described further in the post)Stickers<ul><li>The cat calendar sticker, as always, is from By Mossy Pine.</li><li>The dino stickers are all from an old stickii pack I grabbed during a sale called “Rawr!” or something similar.</li></ul>March’s Fountain Pen/Ink Combos:<ul><li>Kaweco sport <medium> filled with Diamine Twilight, a dark blue-black ink. This ink was a present!</li><li>Nahvalur Original+ <stub> filled with Diamine Aurora Borealis, a dark teal ink with a very tiny amount of red sheen. This ink was also a present!</li><li>TWSBI Eco <medium> filled with Diamine Noble Fir from the 2024 inkvent calendar, a bright green ink with shimmer. This one carried over from last month’s palette.</li><li>Pilot Metropolitan <CM> filled with Pilot Iroshizuku yama-budo, a dark fuschia ink with some green sheen. I’m using a refilled cartridge to see if I like it better than the included converter, and it *is* nice to be able to see how much ink is left, but it means I’m reluctant to change the ink (and potentially wear out the cartridge faster).</li><li>Pilot E95S <medium> filled with Pilot Iroshizuku ama-iro, a bright sky-blue ink.</li></ul>Since this is the end of the month, I’ll say that all of these worked out pretty well, but I did have a bunch of hard starts on the Nahvalur pen, likely due to my inexperience using a vacuum pen (I’ve had this since the fall but haven’t always had it in rotation). I’d hoped to maybe use this as a travel pen eventually but I probably should have gotten a thinner nib on it for that to work better, I don’t know. It’s kind of a moot point as travel has become unappealing at the moment.I’m also realizing that I *really* appreciate the converters when it comes to changing inks every month, and the piston fillers can be kind of a chore in comparison. I may need to rethink how often I change inks and plan my palettes differently so more colours carry over depending on which pen they’re in. I’ve slowed in my pen acquisitions now that I’ve got a range of nibs and such to try, but I did pick up a small box of cartridge-filled ones as an impulse buy at Powell’s so you’ll see at least one of those next month.I haven’t finished this iroful journal yet, but I’ve decided to leave the rest of the pages for pen testing and ink swatches since I like the paper for that but don’t love it for writing journal entries or todo lists. The plan is to pull out a notebook with faster drying paper for April.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://curiousity.ca/tag/fountainpenink/" target="_blank">#FountainPenInk</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://curiousity.ca/tag/fountainpens/" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://curiousity.ca/tag/stationery/" target="_blank">#stationery</a>

Jim P.Anyone happen to know if a TWSBI diamond 580 ALR can fill directly from a TWSBI 18ml bottle (without the snorkel)?I don't have any TWSBI ink to check. I know the Diamine 18ml bottles are too narrow.Was eyeing an ink sample pack as part of a gift for someone but it would be silly if the pen couldn't fill from the ink.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPen</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPens</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/FountainPenInk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FountainPenInk</a>
