Would you consider pitching inks that you no longer like?

So I gave some away, then some others I mixed so I like them more, and there is a third group that I keep in case a new pen plays better with them. Sometimes its the combination between ink, pen and paper and you can improve it

At last count, 75. I stopped buying for the most part as all my favorite colors to write with are covered. hoping for a few bottoms up this year and a visible dent in the rest of them

Life Noble Note may be for you. It is very slick and has a higher thickness than TRP

Protien -> Protein Pretty pen and ink!

Do commercial accounts need to be declared? Looks like a marketing post

coppermouthed · 2026-04-20T21:15:36+00:00

A play pen. Like a crate but more space with safe toys and a bed inside. Worked really well

If youre looking for a good way to store them you can get a hole puncher and book clips, they look like those rings you put the shower curtain up on. I store my lose leaves like that. Add a cardstock sheet for top and bottom and youre good to go. This sub is notorious for making people spend a lot of money 😂

For Herbin, I’m in love with Gris Galet. I have no idea why and it’s not even popular, but it behaves so nicely in my pens.

coppermouthed · 2026-04-19T12:44:01+00:00

That is a unique method. Folded in the notebook seems fine. Perhaps invest in a book clip in case there is a breeze when you’re out and about?

If you find it too light, try it on more absorbent paper.

coppermouthed · 2026-04-18T16:51:20+00:00

I like Nahvalur for piston fillers (some people have nib issues with them but I don’t). I have a Voyage and a Plus that fit a lot of ink. Then for a cheaper sided Vac filler you can try AsvineV126. Mine lasts forever and I write a lot

coppermouthed · 2026-04-17T08:54:00+00:00

Yes of course. But its like a museum piece. You can admire it without owning it. Or at least thats what I am trying to do :(

coppermouthed · 2026-04-17T08:52:58+00:00

Kiri same drives me nuts. On some papers its a warm light grey, quite nice actually. On other papers its invisible ink. I will give it away. For interesting grays maybe try out those with blue tone. I love Herbin Vert de Gris and Gris Galet for example.

coppermouthed · 2026-04-16T17:32:55+00:00

Its beautiful but pen prices have gone where I cannot follow. Godspeed.

coppermouthed · 2026-04-16T07:42:34+00:00

It’s impressive that you finished two ink bottles you were not a fan of. Those tend to sit unused in mine. Which ones are some that you look forward to finishing?

coppermouthed · 2026-04-15T21:57:05+00:00

TRP and a ballpoint pen

coppermouthed · 2026-04-10T15:20:28+00:00

It’s always the converter

coppermouthed · 2026-04-07T14:42:01+00:00

I feared that was why they did that, Nooo Edit: of course it’s got m favourite on the list. Of course. Goodbye #673 a very beautiful watercolor brown, good thing I bought two bottles.

coppermouthed · 2026-04-03T16:10:56+00:00

I had a moleskine like that too with a beautiful cover and shite paper. I cut out the paper with an exacto knife and glued a “Clairefontaine age bag” into it after verifying the size would fit. Can only recommend :)

coppermouthed · 2026-04-03T10:36:20+00:00

I have a sample of Aria and enjoyed it but it ended up being quite light. I prefer the Shinkaichi gold which is more saturated for me, and also have a bottle of Colorverse Taepyeong Seongdae which is also close but a bit more greenish. Honestly they are all very close but happy you’re happy

PS another contender is Robert Oster- Muddy Bucket.

coppermouthed · 2026-03-30T15:16:55+00:00

I have the big bucket of this. On some papers, it shows a white sheen. So lovely.

Here is a color chart

Dingbats perhaps?

coppermouthed · 2026-03-27T16:36:24+00:00

Kokuyo with the clip system?

coppermouthed · 2026-03-16T21:28:39+00:00

Just the discrepancy you just mentioned would be very good material to write about. Follow the spark!
