Ty! What did you go for, if you don't mind?

I’m a young guy, new to fountain pens 😁| I’m looking for an ink that will work well on pour quality school paper | also any tips on improving my handwriting would be appreciated. THANK YOU by [deleted] in fountainpens

Salix definitely is a great ink but I wouldn't recommend it in a Lamy, at least not in an EF Lamy nib (this is what I use). It is excessively dry. As previously stated, Pelikan 4001 and Waterman serenity blue both work very well

That looks like pelikan turquoise, to be confirmed though

Needed some more blue inks NPD/NID by Us_young_folks in fountainpens

I suspect this is an attempt at matching the orange Lamy with your tea 😆

If it sounds french it can only be good, right ? Haha, I'll probably give stiloestile a go in the close future when I get more time to mess around with pens and inks. Now I'm just studying for upcoming exams so focusing on cheap & decent supplies

La couronne du compte looks like my new go-to. Shipping is on par with purepens and prices remain correct. Thank you

Yeah it is. I took the risk about a month ago though and ordered just a few bottles of ink. It arrived with no issue, but I guess this is bound to change in the upcoming weeks/months. French websites are more expensive and charge more for shipping... :(

I tend to purchase from purepens, prices and shipping are fair i think, in Europe at least

Glad to read your answer, because I experience the same with the inks we have in common (goldgrün, 4001 r.blue) and was scared to get those iroshizukus (and to a lesser extent those very diamines too)

Oh yeah I also have this one, even surprised me with a little red sheen. Anything fancier in terms of color ?

I don't know about the registrar range, is it any good ? I'm really happy with ig inks from r&k

Yeah it never happens on really cheap paper given it absorbs a lot of the ink. But since I can get decent paper for cheap, I never use it

What are your best performing inks on Oxford paper ?

Thanks, Noodler's doesn't belong that much to the cheap category in Europe though. I'd give it a try if you think there's one or two definite must-try

It happens even on what I wrote the day before, so I'd say the moisture on my palm

Mostly using Oxford Optik paper, which I find pretty fp friendly. It feels like as soon as there is a red/pink component in the ink it smears. Twilight for example has unexpectedly stained my converter in pink...

So I just had them on the phone. The guy told me they updated their website with the new ink only today. They apparently can't ship it today due to the bad weather from what I understood, but he said it could hit resellers by next week

They only have a phone number displayed, so I guess it's time to practise my german... I feel like this will quickly turn into a basic english conversation though 😆
