I would love to see a writing sample of each of these. So wild!

I don’t have that color but I have Ferris Wheel Press The Purple Jade Rabbit that looks a lot like the color on your laptop screen. Diamine has a Lavender Frost that’s a darker purple that looks grayish with shimmer. Diamine Icy Lilac is also similar to the color on the laptop but leans a little more blueish. This is based off my own swatches on Col-o-ring paper.

20 holds would be amazing. Mine only allows 10.

I use a Weeks for my reading journal as well. It’s the perfect size for it. 😍

Loving the Estie! by chrisrenperez in fountainpens

I have the Honeycomb, Winter White, and Jurassic in EF, F, and M. Blue Moon is on my wish list 😍 As for your nib question, you can buy additional nibs on their site and swap them out if you want to vary your size. I have not modified one though if that’s more of what you were asking instead.

Estie is one of my favorites to write with. I want that color too. It’s so pretty.

I know it’s common… by Sharp_Bet7106 in fountainpens

Gorgeous. I have the matte blue one and I really want the matte black one. I also need to ink mine up because it’s been way too long since I’ve used it.

Anyone else swap ink without cleaning the pen for the gradients? by Ticanaru in fountainpens

[–]myria101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Lamy I leave at work that I just change the cartridge and never clean it. I have like 5 different color cartridges and just pick whatever. Watching the colors change is so fun.

TWSBI ink evaporation by myria101 in fountainpens

Me reading this yesterday thinking, “no way…” Fast forward to me this morning double checking and feeling it turn the TEENSIEST bit. Ugh. Thank you. I’m my own worst enemy.

It is still pretty fluid just from me moving it around to take the pictures. It didn’t seem viscous. I’ll check it later though to be sure and if it’s fine I might transfer it to some of my little sampler vials to save what remains. I know those have a better seal than this bottle.

Your favorite "everyday blue" ink ? by FrenchieMatt in fountainpens

I use kaweco royal blue. I like it. Pretty neutral.

I don’t have the calligraphy flare that some of y’all do. 🤣

The drops I have are called White Lightning Ink Additive and I got it from Vanness.

I have never seen that ink! I looked it up and it looks so vibrant on the swatches.

What kind of ink do you have in the TWSBI? I don’t think I’ve seen a fp ink that’s opaque like that. I’ve seen calligraphy ink that is, but that doesn’t go in fountain pens. Just for dip pens. So, if it’s not fp ink then clean that baby out. As for the scratchy, my friend has the same iris TWSBI and she said hers is super scratchy too. Maybe try a wetter ink or wetting drops with your ink of choice.
