INK SWAB: 115/365 – Caran d’Ache Sunset
I see this ink named Caran d’Ache Sunset Pink in some places online. I’m not sure I’m buying that it is (was) pink. No matter, this vibrant hue has been discontinued. Too bad, too, it is pretty, yes?
INK SWAB: 114/365 – Rohrer & Klongner Helianthus
I’m going to ink this up right now. Do you love R&K’s Helianthus?
INK SWAB: 113/365 – J Herbin Violette Pensee
I find Violette Pensee to have a little bit of a milkiness to the color. I have no idea what makes that happen. The ink performs well and I do like the color – check out my original review of it right here.
INK SWAB: 112/365 – Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki
I would say that Kon-peki from Pilot Iroshizuku is one of the most-loved inks out there. Do you agree?
INK SWAB: 111/365 – PW Akkerman Hofvijver Grijs
Hofvijver Grijs is a nice middle-of-the-road gray (unless you prefer that it be grey) ink from PW Akkerman.
If you’ve been searching for a US source for Akkerman inks and their iconic bottles, check out Vanness Pen Shop. I’ve only ordered from here once, but had a good experience.
INK SWAB: 110/365 – Noodler’s Firefly Yellow Highlighter
Squeee! Firefly Yellow is what I have in my Preppy Hightlighter and I really like it. Works great, is super-bright. Does the job.
INK SWAB: 109/365 – Platinum Mix-Free Silky Purple
I’ve not written with Silky Purple, but the swab reminds me of J Herbin Rose Cyclamen. The bonus is that this ink is completely mixable (mix free, get it?) with others in the Platinum Mix-Free line.
INK SWAB: 108/365 – Omas Red
My thought on Omas Red? Not red. More of a bright pink. Meh.
INK SWAB: 107/365 – Diamine Dark Green
Diamine is one of my favorite brands of fountain pen ink and my guess is that if you love this color, you will love the ink. Unfortunately, the color isn’t to my taste – it’s really not very dark, is it?
