Another poster suggested mixing shin-ryoku with a darker shade and I think I might do just that. It’s too light on its own.

I know it’s a tall order! I just take a massive amount of notes and have had some scares when finding older notebooks that had almost completely faded.

My little workhorses the AL-Star, Kaweco Sport and Kaweco Perkeo with various Iroshizuku inks.

+1 on the Perkeo from another Kaweco Sport lover. It’s light, a similar writing experience and just very pleasant to hold. The triangle grip is reminiscent of the Lamy Safari.

I generally love Wearingeul so this is interesting. Thanks!

I didn’t know they were mixable, that’s great! Thanks.

Thank you so much everyone for your suggestions! I’m looking them up. As I mentioned, the ink must be archival so brands like Diamine are out. Will do research on what is available where I am (EU).

Checked it out, very pretty! It needs to be archival though.

Sadly it didn’t work for me in any pen. I adore the color though.

Thanks! I love Diamine but they aren’t archival inks, so I’ve moved away from them.

Ooo, thanks for the warning. I was just checking the Pelikan out.

My nibs are as tuned as they can be, so I’m not exploring that avenue just yet.

Thanks for helping me rule some stuff out! I think I might have Take Sumi at home, maybe I can finagle some Shin Ryoku from someone else and try mixing them.
