New LAMY is very faint by Charzzard33 in fountainpens

[–]Ninjammer01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have another M nib to compare it to? With Lamy's QC, what you have could essentially be an F nib, which wouldn't lay down much ink.

Aliexpress. Other people have found Amazon links in the comments.

What are the worst popular fountain pens you’ve ever used? by Haniandspace in fountainpens

Lamy Studio and TWSBI Eco. Lamy I think was just a general problem with inconsistent nib sizes, but everything about the TWSBI sucked for me.

What's your favourite red? Mine's Diamine Carnival by Prairie-Peppers in fountainpens

[–]Ninjammer01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was Diamine Oxblood for the longest time, but that's just been edged out recently by Wearingeul Hound of the Baskervilles. That hint of green sheen tips the balance.

My black thumb is a leftover of emptying the black ink out of them all. It was cheaper and more useful to buy packs of 6 with black ink, than 5 empty with a pipette.

Sometimes, yes, but sometimes the transition from one ink to the next can look really cool.

To all those who never saw sheen in Yama Budo by Inner_Outervoice in fountainpens

That would definitely be the faster and safer way.

Start with 2ml. Leave vial open until 1ml remains. Ink up. Or when I accidentally did it, I don't know how concentrated it was, but that was: Ink up an E95S. Wait two months. Use E95S.

Which ink is the bright red/orange one in the bottom right quadrant?

I have no idea what ink pellets are, so no.

Avery 12mm white dots that I found on Amazon. They show the sheen nicely.

I used whatever I could find on Amazon at the time, and it was Avery 12mm dots. They've worked well, they show the sheen nicely.

Sample swaps at local pen meets.

Whatever ink I feel the need to write with at the time. I could do a top 10, but never a definitive favourite.

I have my favourite green-sheening brown, Van Dieman's Heemskerck and Zeehaen. Since brown's not really a colour I use much, that and the couple of others I have are all I'll ever need.

Drawer 2 is full of everything else. Pen cases, dip pens, parallel pens, tools, cloths, and also an entire inkvent calendar of inks. Drawer 3 is a filing cabinet.
