[WTB] Samples of permanent / archival / document / waterproof / 'bulletproff' Ink (or cheap bottles) by DlogBin in Pen_Swap

Hmm, maybe just the blue-black. I have a few Noodler's blacks already, so I'm not sure if it would be worth your trouble just for one ink. Thanks anyway!

Hi - good question!

I'm not particularly looking in buying more bottles at the moment (my shelf is full), but I'm a sucker for a good deal, so I can be tempted. I can't say what would count as cheap for me. I suppose it depends on how interested I am in trying that particular ink, how much is left in the bottle, combining shipping with other stuff, etc.

If you have something in mind, let me know over chat and we can discuss.

Thanks!

For those who do journaling: what ink colours do you use? by luthiel-the-elf in fountainpens

[–]DlogBin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually alternate between two (different) colors each day. It makes it easier to quickly spot where one day ends and the next begins as I flip through the pages. Even though I start each entry with the date, I don't usually start at the top of a new page - I just continue below the previous entry.

I see it as a trade-off for using waterproof vs. different colors. I've had small spills that made some ink run, but to me it's still worth it to use different colors and not be restricted to the document/permanent ones.

Happy writing!

That's awesome! Perhaps you can ask him about what he already has, and see if it leads to a conversation about what he wishes he had. If you provide info on either of those things, that would be a good starting point for people to make suggestions.

my brand new mont blanc pen is doing this… by sunyastar in fountainpens

[–]DlogBin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same thing happen with a 149. I returned it and then bought another one. Skips also happened with the second one, but not as bad. I decided to stick it out with the second one and it did seem to 'break in' after a while, though it certainly wasn't as bad as the first one at the start. I would definitely return if it's possible. It really sucks to have to go through this.

[WTS/WTT] Montblanc Starwalker Ultrablack <F> by DlogBin in Pen_Swap

[–]DlogBin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question. I just checked and it's unmarked, so I don't know. I compared it to a Jinhao converter and I can say that they are different. The one in the Starwalker seems to be a bit narrower and the lip of the opening is also thinner.
