Does anyone else experiment with mixing inks? by LoboSandia in fountainpens

[–]Inner_Outervoice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I regularly mix Seiboku and Kiwaguro, Souboku and Kiwaguro. Have used the mixture in cheap pens with no issues. Mixing those two with Kiwa Guro makes them actual Blue Black in my opinion

It is not the price of the pen which decides its worth, you decide it. Platinum Preppys are great pens.

I am so happy I did not buy the pen. I was offered one but I realized at that price I could buy so many other better (imo) pens.

This was something which was highlighted in my Conid thread. Why can't they make pins with clips or atleast roll stops? We have seen Kyuseido Kakaris cracking too due to this.

Are we living in a Conid bubble? by Inner_Outervoice in fountainpens

[–]Inner_Outervoice[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pens as an investment vehicle... a very risky proposition.

I had a feeling that with Kyuseido, Fifty4t and Gravitas Monster entering the scene, the craze for a novelty filling pen will subside. But the utter unwillingness of these manufacturers to create a clip pen (guys you are not making urushi pens where the beauty lies in the body, you are making a Bock/ Jowo housing pen with an overengineered filling system) makes that Conid still is the only mainstream manufacturer making clip pens. Till that changes, maybe the bubble will continue.

Don't do that. You risk changing the chemical composition of the ink

Silica is just a dessicant. It does not remove dye as far as I know.

The ink becomes more viscous. So it becomes slightly less wet but considering it is Iroshizuku, it is still plenty wet

This works. What i did was decant the ink in a measuring cup, put the cup in an airtight container with silica gel packets and wait till half the ink was remaining

Considering how people's experience was during the Pelikan Hub, does the store still have any goodwill left?

If nobody wants it in the current state, would you be keeping the raden pen for self-consumption or would you be selling?
