![]() I could excuse the inconsistent flow as the pen is really finicky about ink flow but inky fingers is a big time no go.Īir Corp came out nice and dark at least but took forever to dry I was still seeing wet spots after five minutes. Never saw this before or since with that pen. In the pen I used (Montblanc 221) the design permitted the ink to creep up onto the section and my fingers! Argh. But that wasn't all.ĥ4th Mass was much lighter than I was expecting and it had the worst nib creep I've ever seen. Since I really don't like to write with anything broader than F, this was a complete deal breaker. I've never seen anything like this behavior from any other ink manufacturer. I like the colors but for some weird reason, the ink writes a size or two thicker than any other ink-my western EF pen wrote like a western M. Noodler's 54th Massachusetts and Air Corps Blue Black are two others I found deeply disappointing. Still looks about the same but it alleviates the smearing. My only complaint is that, if you leave it in the pen for a couple days, then anything you write will smear even after sitting for days. So disappointed.Įdit: Montblanc Permanent Black. Also had hard starting after sitting awhile. The color is decent but the ink feathered and showed/bled through- on top of the line 90g/m 2 Clairefontaine Papier Velouté! I've laid down some insanely wet lines on this paper and never had that happen. Troublemaker Inks, Freedom Park Rose (medium wet flow). I intend to try again someday- I suspect I may have gotten a bad batch, but I'm not sure enough to spend the money on it now. It looks so damn beautiful in the photos, but I never seemed to get the same results. Foxglove was actually pretty okay to use, but didn't love the color. Grape Vine, one of my aforementioned attempts to find a purple I like, actually got pretty close, but it nib cruds like nobody's business and clogs very quickly once the crud starts. Sea Glass is better, but Sirena still knocks it out of the water. Milky Ocean is downright awful to use- dry, skippy, makes even my Pilots feel scratchy. Even Abalone wasn't quite as nice as I expected, but it also wasn't as much of a disappointment as the others. Even Yama-budo is kind of ugly to me, and it's probably my favorite out of all of the ones I've tried.Įvery Troublemaker ink I've tried except Abalone. I kept looking for a purple I liked to add to my collection, and over time, I slowly realized that wasn't possible, lol. Before I got super into inks, I didn't realize that I apparently don't like purple. DeAtramentis Heliogen Green-Copper gets an honorable mention here for how ridiculously easily it clogs a pen.Įvery purple ink I've ever tried. Still tempted by a few of the recent Inkvent inks. I apparently like them better in pictures than in person. ![]()
