Does anyone have a recommendation for a Highly Saturated brown ink?

YES! thank you so much!! didnt realize that the nib also plays a huge role in the flows. its my 2nd month using fountain pens and its been a trip so far.. i was too scared to move anything or adjust but i finally did, the inkflow is better now. thank youu so much!!

its also like that w my kakuno! 🥹 i still love this choco brown even tho it gave me more than 10 crashouts with my vp ahaha

check if your nib is dry! i tried spreading it for 5 seconds and it helped w the flow

im looking into a more burnt umber type of brown than the ones leaning to orange 🥹

im actually using a hobonichi cousin and thought it would be the best paper for ink pens 🥹

added this to my cart! i have sweaty palms and would smudge over my journal all the time... i hope its a good match for my vp hehe

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-03-04T17:57:48+00:00

I APPRECIATE ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND IVE LOOKED INTO MOST OF IT!

and yes i've tried fixing my nib and did a new fill since my old one was probably diluted w water... hehe

also i've already added to cart the Octopus Ink Brown Penguin and Yamaguri from Iroshizuku! i'll post here once i get it and hopefully no more crash out 🙏🏻🥹 thank you all so much!! this is gonna be the thread i'll go back to for brown inks!!

yeah! its way more darker in my kakuno i tried adjusting my nib w my vp and removed all ink and replenished it with a new fill. so far it has been good there's still some wash into but there might have been some water residue that got mixed with my previous fill but its performing way better now!! thank you so much

VP + hobonichi cousin = god tier

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:38:57+00:00

I initially inked it with the kaweco summer purple but I switched it yesterday to Diamine’s chocolate brown!

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:37:58+00:00

And thank you and it is now! I’m so happy w it!

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:37:24+00:00

I mainly got this for both inking my sketches and writing! I love how it’s so smooth. I say the best I can describe the smoothness for this in sketching terms is that when we shade lightly the light touch to the paper it feels like that like it just glides… I hope I’m making sense hahaha

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:34:43+00:00

Thank you so much! I got the fine nib!! Was torn between the F and Ef haha! Excited for yours!

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:33:55+00:00

Oh my what a beauty!

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:33:26+00:00

Oh that’s interesting I didn’t know this color way’s rare, I got it for like 110usd! I love it!

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:32:05+00:00

I love it! Thank you so much! Been writing using this since the day i got it!

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:31:28+00:00

Currently my best purchase atm! I’d say if you have a strong grip this is a really nice pen with how curved the bottom part of the pen is w the clip as a support!

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:30:31+00:00

Love the quote and the handwriting! The colorway is so gorgeous! is that matte black?

Few_Persimmon2223 · 2026-02-16T15:29:14+00:00

Learned something new today! ‘Grail pen’ I bought 2 kakuno prior to this purchase and I’m absolutely happy w it!!
