![]() ![]() It also has a good measure of water resistance. I have a lot of purple inks, but this is one of my favorites. I love purple inks, so it’s only right that one be on this list. I’m entering a phase in my writing where I need to know that it will survive the odd spill (I’ve got a story behind this, but that is for another time).#41 accomplished this goal while still being nice to look at. It’s very well-behaved and bulletproof to boot. Noodler’s #41 Brown is a great dark brown. I’m seriously considering ordering a 16 ounce bottle of the stuff… maybe I should make that 32 ounces just to be on the safe side? To me, this is the definition of workhorse. It’s extremely well-behaved no matter what I throw at it. It’s an unassuming and relatively nondescript dark blue, so it’s not at all distracting. It’s near-bulletproof, so I don’t have to fear for my writing’s longevity. Noodler’s Navy has become my workhorse ink. Inks: Noodler’s Navy, Noodler’s #41 Brown, J. The Vedo’s nib is a bit too sharp for long writing sessions and the Plumpster lacks the ink capacity I need for lots and lots of writing. I still like them quite a bit, but as my workload has changed so have my writing instrument needs. The Stipula Vedo and Levenger Plumpster have fallen off the list. My Glenmont remains a favorite especially for letter writing, but then I designed it myself, so why wouldn’t it be? The TWSBI was also purchased with long writing sessions in mind. It’s super fine and smooth nib makes it perfectly fit for that purpose. My little Brown Prera (review forthcoming) is my editing, grading, and marginalia pen. The Broad nib is juicy and smooth which makes writing fun while also forcing me to slow down. It holds over 2ml of ink when I use my Visconti Inkpot (review forthcoming) to fill it. I purchased the 823 (review forthcoming) specifically for use in drafting my long papers, articles, and chapters. The click/retractable nib mechanism makes it perfectly suited for jotting down quick notes in a meeting or when on the go. The VP remains the perfect note-taking pen. I would have never described myself as a Pilot fan, but I guess this makes me one doesn’t it? ![]() Until I started this posted I had not realized just how much I use and rely on my Pilot pens. Pens: Pilot VP, Pilot Custom 823, Pilot Prera, TWSBI Diamond 530, Edison Glenmont So, it’s time for a bit of an update (OK, more than a bit of an update. In addition, as I get deeper and deeper into my school work, my needs have changed tremendously. Needless to say, my opinions have changed with my collection. That is the list of the items in my accumulation that I could not live without. ![]() In February I put up a blog post about my arsenal. You can see the spelling fluctuate in the scans. Sorry for all the “fuchsia” spelling errors. Neither ink is water proof or even really water resistant.Fuchsia shades a bit better than Opera, but they are both good shaders.Flow and lubrication of Opera is a bit better than that of Fuchsia, but they are both good.These colors are well-behaved as one would expect from a J. Honestly, with the bottle of Rouge Fuschia being so old these differences might just be a function of age. Rouge Opera seems a tinge more saturated and a little more lubricating than Rouge Fuchsia, but not by much. The two inks are nearly identical.īoth colors can be described as a dusky red rose sort of color. ![]() Herbin Rouge Fuschia is a discontinued J.
