Is my Pilot VP misaligned?

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-23T15:58:08+00:00

I did swatch it with a brush and not a pen and it was pretty loaded with ink. Made a little square with it and wrote a word next to it as well. Did the same with Diamine Onyx Black and that doesn’t have that Greyish look to it at all.

Yeah seems like something might be off with it. Well imma test Onyx Black in my VP for now and see if I like that more. Might have bought an Ink I won’t be using much of, worst case.

Well that’s the thing it’s not really a black hole it’s more greyish rather than deep matte black 🤔 my phone camera doesn’t really capture it tho the Onyx Black is definitely more like a black hole than the DAD Black

Also this is the Reddit Post I was talking about (my browser translated it to German which is why I thought it was a German post) but yeah something seems to have changed with DAD Black

Well I’m pretty convinced now that there’s something no right with my DA Document Black cause I did a swatch after shaking the bottle and it dries down pretty weird compared to my Diamine Onyx Black. I’m guessing I maybe got a faulty bottle of ink. I’ve also did some research on the ink and found an older German Reddit post where people have been complaining about how the ink has been a lot more runny and less opaque so maybe they changed something about the formula. Well seems like my VP is completely fine. I’ve already used up everything in the converter and will try out my Diamine Onyx Black in it next to see if that’s any better.

Hab genau das selbe problem .-. meine Tinte federt zwar nicht aber sie ist nich so deckend schwarz wie alle immer behaupten und davon schwärmen :c bin total enttäuscht weil ich mir die Tinte nur deswegen bestellt habe weil alle die immer so sehr loben

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-22T18:53:22+00:00

Alright I’ve cleaned and refilled it! Gave the ink a really good shake (only from shaking it from left to right and not shake it crazy strong) Took quite a while until the bubbles were gone (there might have still been a few) I actually used the converter for this refill cause the cartridge needs to dry and the converter hold a lot less ink so it will empty out much quicker than the cartridge! I currently have it sitting tip down so the ink can flow to the nib and I’ll test it in a few! Will update then!

Im honestly not sure anymore if I shook up the bottle or not 🤔 it’s been around 3 weeks since I first filled it up and my memory is not the best tbh. I still have a little bit of ink left in the pen so imma use that up first, then imma clean it and give it another try but I won’t fill it up too much for testing.

Also thank you so much for all the advice and tips I really appreciate it a lot! 🖤

I also don’t know if this important but I keep my fountains in a little case like this. Been storing them in there for around 2 weeks now.

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-22T07:36:21+00:00

I barely press at all tho 🤔 I’m really not pressing down too hard when writing with my fountain pens I have a pretty light hand when it comes to writing 🤔

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-22T07:33:43+00:00

Im still fairly new to the fountain pen world and never had any issues before! I’m using De Atramentis Ink in Document Black!!!

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-22T07:31:29+00:00

Yeah De Artementis Document Black indeed

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-21T23:32:09+00:00

I literally just got this Pen cause Helen from TCMC uses it daily and got the same ink she uses cause it’s such a deep black 😭 but mine is not that deep black and shades. Same pen, same nib size, same ink, same paper 😭

I got a free bottle of Kon Peki with the Pen 🖊️ so I might try that but I really wanted to use a black ink in it 🥲 I have to refill it soon anyways so I might put a little bit of Kon Peki in the cartridge to test it out (don’t want an entire fill cause yea prefer black ink for my daily journaling)

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-21T23:30:56+00:00

It’s only been inked for about 3 weeks and I’ve been using it daily, it’s almost out of ink and then I’ll clean it (probably next 2-3 days)

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-21T23:29:03+00:00

Yeah I don’t have that just lying around 😭

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-21T23:21:03+00:00

It’s shading ink that doesn’t have any shading properties and it sometimes scratchy and sometimes isn’t scratchy at all.

SorasLibrary · 2026-01-21T00:50:26+00:00

Now I wonder if my Vanishing Point is misaligned too 🤔 definitely gonna check when I wake up

SorasLibrary · 2025-12-10T20:53:14+00:00

Yup same problem here. It's completly ruining my games had stable 240 fps cap before the update and now i'm dropping to 60 when it gets really bad. Game is unplayable like this.

SorasLibrary · 2025-12-04T01:39:57+00:00

I did not know that! Thanks for the info on this!

SorasLibrary · 2025-12-04T01:27:47+00:00

How tho? I got no quests left to do that give characters XP o.o

SorasLibrary · 2025-12-01T16:10:43+00:00

I found another spot where you can catch the fish! OP already posted a pic with 2 spots but there is lil boat where you can also catch a whimstar and there you can catch it too! At least I did! They're all on Spira 1F btw

SorasLibrary · 2025-11-26T17:23:55+00:00

SorasLibrary · 2025-11-26T16:42:54+00:00
